they were on parking area 11 after the first aborted TO
Is there really any evidence that they experienced one "aborted" takeoff, let alone 2? By Aborted Takeoff, I mean an acceleration down the runway with the intention of takeoff, and then a formal "Abort" i.e. prior Rotation the Takeoff is rejected...

As opposed to a taxi out that then develops a technical problem, some maintenance is performed, and then a full takeoff is performed, up to and including rotation, and thereafter something unknown occurs which results in an accident (which in my book = no "Aborted Takeoffs")

NoD
