Qatar B777 collision probe focuses on intersection riddle
Investigators have revealed that a departing Qatar Airways Boeing 777-300ER overran the runway at Miami airport before becoming airborne and striking approach lights as it climbed away. The inquiry into the accident has disclosed that the captain chose to depart from the T1 intersection of runway 09 despite carrying out the calculations for a full-length runway departure, and despite a prohibition on intersection take-offs from this runway.

So in other words thanks to extreme pilot error we almost had a major airplane tragedy in Miami.
So...I've flown a plane or two at night (which could take off at an intersection as opposed to full runway length), as PIC wouldn't you see runway edge light to the right (in this case) as you turned on to the RW? In a 777 what's the danger in using ALL of the runway? I have certainly joked that I wish I needed all of the runway provided on takeoffs.

Just stick to the thread...no need to put this crap in your posts.
To all of you who questioned what I had said right after the accident that this was a clear -and awful- mistake on the part of the pilots for not taking off from the threshold of RWY 09, well, there you are, the official albeit Preliminary Report issued by Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority with the assistance of U.S.'s FAA and NTSB and UK's CAA says it all. The definitive fate of the crew is pending the Final Report to be issued in a few weeks although they remain firmly grounded in Doha since they landed after this fateful flight.
I think that everyone's conclusion was that it was an error on the part of the pilot's, planes don't tend to hit objects unless there is an error in judgment. The questions are why did the error occur, and what can prevent it from happening again. This is what the investigation needs reveal, and your tangential rants do not solve.
Same conclusion (but I haven't seen the post that you are referring to with your reasoning); however, one was based upon investigation and the other was based upon a speculation.
