just my 2 rusty cents here...so you're barrelling down the runway, you're a few knots before V1, you hear a bang, the aircraft pulls to one side. Maybe you have time to look at N1, maybe you're too busy trying to keep it on centerline.
appears a lot like the V1 cut we do every PPC to me, except it happened a second before V1. They did just what most (if not all) of us would do in that situation.
but that's just me.
