but was it the end of the runway? As I understand, the pilot came in from the opposite direction, i.e.

So that wall was located at the beginning of the runway if the runway was used correctly.
From the bottom image[2], it would appear the wall is located behind the point where planes begin their take-off (and I assume their landing) - but I'm no aviation expert.
