One more question to pilots of similar airplanes. Assuming a fairly normal looking take-off, but one that took some "500m more than usual" to be accomplished like reported (we are unsure if fully on the ground or extra long rotation)...

Is this compatible with assymetrical accidental reverser deployment?

-If such thing happened say right after or inmediately before V2, it wouldn't explain the long time it took to (theoretically) accelerate on the ground to reach V2, right?

-If such thing happened after V1 (so crew had to choose the option to continue) but before VR (or around at that time), wouldn't normally the crew had realised something was seriously wrong and either try to abort or have time to compensate (given the long runaway) plus wouldn't the airplane tend to move left or right while still on the ground, or not necessarily? Also, would the survivors or the crew notice clearly some sudden decceleration or forces to one side necessarily, or not? Would they notice something incompatible with "normal feeling take-off, going up, some vibration, rolling to one side, rolling steeply to the other, crashing"?

Thanks.

Another survivor has left the hospital. 14 remain. 2 remain in very serious condition.
