It's hard to tell if the dogs that are spooked are reacting to the levitation, or to the guy looming overhead with his hands outstretched, making odd finger motions - if you think about it, this is an atypical, ominous way of standing. It's visible with the Shetland sheep dog (the little collie-like dog,) which are notorious for being spooky anyway - notice how it looks at the man's head and hands as it dodges away.
It's probably not half as close as it appears here. The perspective and telephoto compression can be wildly misleading, but the UTair lane was still roughly 8 seconds or so from touchdown, probably not even over the overrun threshold yet, and another several seconds after touchdown before it crossed the taxiway the Aerolineas plane was on - that translates to a fairly signifcant separation.
While it's not clear why the Aerolineas pilot did not stop at the hold-short before the runway, this is a simple go-around, and happens on occasion. It is entirely possible the Aerolineas plane would have cleared the active before the UTair plane passed through, but pilots know to abort the landing in such circumstances - had the Aerolineas plane halted mid-runway there would be no way to avoid it once a certain amount of airspeed had been shed.
It's funny - I suspect many found the show more cathartic than crass. It showed the Allies as being clever, always on top, while the Germans lacked the ability to control them and were silly to boot. The public had had two decades to digest the events of WWII; the shock had long faded, but the frustration hadn't.
The show never mocked the abuse of prisoners - indeed, never dealt with it at all - and never displayed any vestige of antisemitism or racial superiority. Not every POW facility was a concentration or death camp, and the conditions shown in the show were not all that farfetched.
There are always those who say that humor or satire should not extend to some topic or another - it shows disrespect, it makes people fail to treat the topic seriously, et cetera. Yet it's not as if anyone ever got their impression of Nazi Germany from Hogan's Heroes - there's plenty of real information out there. Even children can watch TV and know they're seeing fiction.
