expanding on the cargo shift theory, if the load did shift rearward after V1 (which may have been low due to high GW and tailwind) which caused the aircraft to rotate early the crew would not abort the take off but drag would increase massively, induced drag from the wings and friction. Could that have prevented the aircraft from reaching Vr?
