Thegypsy,
No, probably not, unless someone died in the crash.

Zerouali,
The aircraft accelerated for takeoff on Rwy 24's taxiway at 0243 hrs local, i.e. it was pitch dark. I would imagine that, even if the controller could clearly see what was happening, he was, understandably, dumbstruck and the a/c staggered into the air before he found his voice
