Wow, great catch! Not sure about the reason but very interesting to watch! You can feel the tension in the cabin, such an abrupt stop!

It's one super long runway almost like two runways after each other right? At about halfway distance one runway ends and the next one starts or similar. Could a displaced runway threshold trigger any ROPS autobrake warning or command to go off?

So did they go onto the runway at the wrong point as well ?

13/31. They typically use the westside and not the outer eastern part. So they have the markings displaced accordingly.

I was mainly wondering about the phrase " At about halfway distance one runway ends" in your original post. It's probably more like 75% rather than halfway, isn't it?

True. But this is some really long runway we are talking about.
So let's say you start your takeoff run in the east going to the west. Sometimes you will pass that threshold (from it's back sort of). The ROPS might get confused and trigger some alarm? Don't know but there are not many airports globally with a layout like this. Maybe they never tried it in reality exactly there? However A380 with ROPS should operate there all the time so any possible fault would have been detected?
