Possibly a little off subject and certainly not 100% of the facts but last July flying DXB LHR on a 777 rolling down the runway when starboard engine goes bang and we slew all over the shop and finally come to rest. No smoke or fire but a fairly worrying incident none the less and plenty PAX slightly more concerned. Airline excellent and had us back up within the hour (new aircraft).
On return I checked up on the report and can't remember the exact details but seem to remember approx 50 knots short of take off speed.
Couple of questions. Is this close to take off speed and what is likely outcome should that have happened just when wheels leaving ground (I know much depends on reactions etc)?
