If what "Mobotu" says is true, then you have the cause of this needless accident staring us all in the face.

If you abort the take-off at 25kts above V1, you are really asking for trouble.

Not the smartest idea in the world to reduce, V1. Loosing an engine at or just after a reduced V1 and the chances of accelerating away (before the end of the R/W) to become airborne are significantly reduced.
