Agreed, only the NTSB investigation will provide a full account. But if you look at where they were on the runway, they had passed V1.

- loeg 1y agoYes, but multiengine aircraft are designed to take off with one lost engine.
- giantrobot 1y agoThere was more of an issue than just an engine being out. It looks like catastrophic damage to at least the left wing. So you have to now assume an engine out, reduced lift (if not a stall) on one wing, and likely no control surfaces responding on that wing.
- loeg 1y agoI think this conversation has become completely divorced from my original criticism of OP's comment, which is that we don't know what the pilots knew before V1, at V1, after V1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45818462 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45818462
