Part 5/10:
At 11:15 PM, the tower controller instructed Flight 6 to line up for takeoff. As the captain maneuvered the aircraft, the pilots found themselves lulled by the green lights of the incorrect runway, believing they were lining up correctly. The first officer readied the aircraft for takeoff even as the Power Visual Display (PVD)—critical for low-visibility conditions—remained unshuttered.
The reality soon unraveled harrowingly. As the Boeing 747 advanced down the runway at an accelerating speed of 150 knots, the pilots became aware of an impending disaster; just moments before achieving takeoff velocity, they spotted bulldozers, excavators, and concrete barriers directly in their path, having misaligned themselves entirely on the closed Runway 05 Right.
