What if it was a fire warning without the bang?Is it really burning?Has it damaged the tyres,brakes?If you do slide off the runway what's the terrain like?

I can't answer all the above in a split second so I'll stick to the usual plan thanks.It might stop, it will almost certainly fly.If you stop and it all goes wrong but you're lucky enough to live you may well be going to jail.(I know...you'd rather be alive in jail than dead...)

To quote Flight Safety on the official view high speed rejects beyond V1 are 'notoriously and disastrously unsuccessful'.We certainly don't train that way.

Always willing to learn though if you can point me to events supporting your view.Concorde sadly comes to mind.

As I'm sure you know there aren't very many long runways in the UK anyway.
