While I don't doubt the credentials of the airport, I find it very hard to believe that vehicles are allowed to cross the flightpath so close to touchdown, given the possibility of interference with the Instrument Landing System used on Cat II and Cat III runways. From experience, cross-runway thoroughfares, including those beyond the runway threshold, are closed when aircraft are on final approach.
That said, that video clip looks genuine and, more importantly, genuinely scary!!!
I'll take the boat, thanks...

@23 seconds you can see were they had to lower the fence were the runway is.

#6 No, you can't.
The perimeter fence is uniform in its height. These runways are typically in excess of 60 metres wide, and for 747-400s, are usually in excess of 80 mtrs wide. I doubt you saw anything resembling a significant variance in height over this distance in that video clip.

#7 you can see where they have had to lower it for the wheels n such. so #6 was right.

#11 it's an optical illusion, top section of the fence is angled and the barbed wires are barely visible against the dark background.
I concur with #7 - there's no way the fence would be lowered.
