If only such an incident had ever occurred and we had the official report, FDR, CVR & a nice little YouTube summary for us….
10 knots before V1 they get the fire warning and CONTINUE. Fire kept burning throughout their short flight & destroyed the engine. Photos are insane. Italian investigation was like “meh they survived so happy days.” Had managed to leak five tonnes of fuel through a damaged fuel line during taxi out which caught fire during take off.
Captain said in a TV interview years later they would have overrun if they had tried to stop so that takeoff was definitely carried out in accordance with correct performance procedures and relevant legalities. /sarcasm off
