It's amazing how so many are going on about how "current procedures are safe" and "we are happy to take it with this snag or that" but did I miss something or didn't an aircraft following those procedures just crash and kill 153 people?
The airplane was airborne and thus beyond V2. So no, procedures were not followed and that poses the question. Why?

No one trains to abort the takeoff after V1 and especially after getting airborne. You may remember a -1011 at JFK a few years ago when the crew got a false stick shaker warning and put the airplane back on the runway after getting airborne, again with negative consequences.

So, yes, you did miss something.
