Hello,
The press quote above appears to indicate failure / malfunctioning / problems with 2 engines post V1.
In wich "press quote" you read this ?
Not in this one I suppose ? (or you make a missinterpretation ...)
Acording to the Belgian press this evening, the investigation board has conluded to the ingestion of a prey bird by engine nr 3, about 4 sec after V1 followed by another couple of seconds before decision was made to abort with the known consequences.
followed by another couple of seconds before decision
It's time ... no a other engine trouble.
So decision to abort was made after 4 + 2 = 6 seconds after V1 ... it's very long ... 6 seconds in term of distance at this speed.
Regards.
