Let $d$ be one of the common tangent lines of externally tangent circles $k_1$ and $k_2$. $d$ touches $k_1$ at $A$. Let $[AB]$ be a diameter of $k_1$. The tangent from $B$ to $k_2$ touches $k_2$ at $C$. If $|AB|=8$ and the diameter of $k_2$ is $7$, then what is the length of $|BC|$?

Let's think step by step and output the final answer within \boxed{}.
