Still waiting for an answer from the Pro's.....
Regards nooluv..........
Something I have wondered as well... starting a t/o roll down an unlit runway, one that is never lit... what went through the crew's mind as they passed the runway edge lights (confirmed to have been on) of the longer runway 22? This would have occurred relatively early on the t/o roll and in time to ABORT. One more missed clue... one more example of strong confirmation bias.
