Devils Advocate, thanks, that's exactly what I thought. Thanks A300 man for your post also, as you rightly point out I do have a particular interest in this case.
Sanket_patel, I was trying to get some information for a passenger who was pretty s**tted up by it in order to allay their fears and explain that it is a standard procedure. I realise it is not the end of the world but many of the pax were quite worried and I think pilots sometimes would do well to remember that a lot of the people down the back don't know much about aviation.
Now my information came from a passenger so it may well be wrong, but he said that they were 'about two seconds from takeoff' when T/O was aborted and the only reason given was that they had a warning light in the cockpit.
