Correction to my above post: It was a World Airways DC10 not CAL (under CAL mtc) that overran the runway at LAX doing everything right on the reject. It was the Captains last flight before retirement!
You were right the first time, Continental.
Yes, the Captains last flight, his wife was on board, headed toward HNL.Tyre burst.
Reject at V1+3. The Captain, I knew, casually, through another CO pilot..
Not wise.

As for heading for V2 when an engine fails on climbout...not while 411A is in command.
A higher speed will be flown, because 411A started on old B707 straightpipes, where you had to fly faster, in order to keep the blue side up, due mainly to very high rudder forces with an outboard engine failed.
Those of us, old enough, remember well.
