Isn’t the purpose of this forum to speculate about aircraft incidents?

Do you caution EVERYONE on PPRUNE against speculating?

You are right about one thing. I shouldn’t have used the word Assuming.

My post should have been:

Passengers onboard the aircraft told The Associated Press the aircraft's nose raised into the air, then dropped suddenly back down before the aircraft exited the runway, its right wing on fire.

If the RIGHT engine failed, the Left engine still producing thrust would have caused the plane to yaw to the RIGHT requiring left rudder and possibly left brake to compensate.

As the pilot applied reverse thrust during the abort, the operating left engine would now produce a yaw to the LEFT.

If the pilot did not then apply RIGHT rudder and/or the RIGHT brake, the result would be the aircraft departing the runway to the left.
