This power loss, which was accompanied by a “detonation”, occurred as the aircraft reached the V1 speed – the threshold beyond which a crew normally must commit to becoming airborne, because the aircraft cannot be stopped safely on the runway.
The crew heard the noise and air traffic controllers witnessed flames from the right side of the aircraft.
Two seconds later the engine thrust was reduced to idle and the aircraft decelerated, but failed to stop before the runway end
What part of 2 seconds later do you not understand?

If you think I would be upset about someone pointing out my miss-handling of an emergency you don't know me very well at all.

One thing for sure, would wouldn't catch me trying to stop 2 seconds after V1 for an engine surge!!
