It veered off the side of the runway, a quick Google earth shows 'wall' like structures at the top and bottom of the runway.

There'll be something daft like they're only allowed the foundation to portrude above ground level by a couple of feet or something so to meet regs, they'll then have banked up soil in front of it.
Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport, looks like how it should be done:

Military aircraft with a minimum crew on board due to it being a post-maintenance test flight, but it still counts…
A giant jump? I mean seriously how is a 20ft caven any better?There'll be something daft like they're only allowed the foundation to portrude above ground level by a couple of feet or something so to meet regs, they'll then have banked up soil in front of it.

It's called inherent safety. There's no need to have the antenna on top of a massive concrete wall, so elminate the hazard.
Make the runway longer
Can't do that there'd be no runoff area

I dunno, you could make the runway run from the departure building to the arrival building and then not worry about it!Can't do that there'd be no runoff area
The plane in Korea crashed into a concert wall that common sense suggests simply shouldn't have been there, you're really reaching here with this comparison, but if it wasn't already obvious from a basic common sense perspective then here are some experts citing the same thing - ordinarily this should be a collapsable structure!
South Korea: Expert says concrete wall plane crashed into is 'verging on criminal'
There were just two survivors, while 179 people were killed in the country's worst aviation disaster.

And here we have Elon Musk inventing ‘hyper roads’…
You made the comparison not me, lol. Yes if the concert wall wasn't there it may have changed the outcome - if the runway was 10x longer it may have too. If the plane landed on wheels with full thrust reversers it may have too.The plane in Korea crashed into a concert wall that common sense suggests simply shouldn't have been there, you're really reaching here with this comparison, but if it wasn't already obvious from a basic common sense perspective then here are some experts citing the same thing - ordinarily this should be a collapsable structure!

It's such a bizarre thing to pick argument on given how deep down the rabbit hole this flight already was.

That would be boring though

Until we know what actually happened it’s impossible to evaluate options. There are lots of things that don’t add up.
No, you looked on google maps and made a vague comparison because you saw a structure of some sort.
In reality, they're rather different and you're completely reaching here - you seem to have been instantly dismissive of this concrete wall issue and now you're just throwing in silliness about how the runway could be made 10x longer too as if that's comparable to applying some common sense re: being mindful of what structures are built where planes may overshoot runways!
It's not bizarre, if they'd had a collapsable structure there or some other design then a bunch of people might have been alive still - as pointed out the aviation expert quoted called it criminal... you're just in denial tbh..

Aircraft are design to survive all sorts of problems, including many shown in this accident such as a gear up landing. Runoffs are a reasonably common occurrence, and even at high speed they are easily surviveable:
Having a giant concrete wall there when it doesn’t have to be like that is just bizarre and has probably killed most of the people on the planet.
Jesus, guess I should count myself lucky
