Not accusing anyone of this, so don't start! But I heard they tried rejecting just after V1. Anybody else hear that?

BTW:

how is it that terrain is so rough so close to the runway ?
The damage has ben caused by piled up sand. Last time I checked sand is moved very easily by wind and/or jet blast. To keep the area perfectly or even relatively clear would require a hell of a lot of round the clock work - expense. Just my opinion.
