Question

What would have happened if AF Concorde had aborted after V1? (I haven't seen this discussed but may have missed it.)

Is it possible there would be some survivors? I don't have detailed technical knowledge but presume it wouldn't have been able to stop on the runway, although it did eat up a lot of Rwy after V1, nearly leaving the left side, I think.

I suppose there is no way they could have known in that moment how catastrophic the problem was, but if they had, maybe the option to stop would have made sense?

Any opinions?
