Having been to Cabinda, and taken a few holes through the fuselage at night, 15-16 years ago, these guys were very lucky indeed.
It would be interesting to know the reason for the rejected take-off and the over run?
Mind you, reverse is not taken into consideration in our performance and the IL-18 has no reverse thrust only ground fine.I am not sure how Russian performance is certified or calculated,
This is one very good video, if ever I have seen one about a RTO.
