With the greatest of respect I don't think moving it to a "spotty spotters" (well not quite, but slightly in that direction) forum is taking it seriously.

The serious issue here, is that Air Chance, on a different Runway/Day, would have had another hull loss here, caused primarily by poor MCC. Maybe "just" an RTO, but @161kts, many places where this could have ended VERY badly.

For this reason I am slightly mystified why this thread wasn't left where it would be seen my the maximum number of pilots, just in case Boeing hasn't been too keen to publicise this fairly common (well 7 times is 7 too many ) occurence.
From a purely air safety point of view I rest my case, & well, a bit of Frog bashing never goes amiss Hell, they are even bashing themselves now.
