Will be interesting to see where HUMS features in preventing a potential nasty like this ?
As I undertsand the aircraft is fitted with a very mature HUM system. This is one of those instances where to argument for and against cockpit displays for HUMS systems rears its head. Essentially, HUMS data would not predict this type of sudden failure, it would detect it after the event, but even then, I suspect it would only show as 1R or probably 4R vibration, in which case, the first rectifcation call would probably be a track and balance. Sadly, in my opinion this is a case where the HUMS probably would be useless, and the Pilot made a great call in aborting the take off.. Well done that man
