To A320 flyers out there: Would risking stowage problems on #1 (plus the precious seconds it takes) be better on a take off attempt or would it be better in this case to shut down #1 and TOGA on #2. Would this plane have been able to lift off at 62tons from the remainder of the runway (being at the speed it was at already). I understand wasted seconds and disaster should a T/R not stow are the main reasons that its not usually a good idea to attempt to take off once T/R is activated.
