I think you have missed the point here.
Please refer to the HS748 post above,
Do you continue with the take off after a catastrophic uncontained engine failure or, do you continue with the take off having suffered the catstrophic failure, aware that there was still some runway available ahead.
The F27 captain chose to continue with the take off with disastrous fatal results. The HS748 captain decided to land back on the same runway with no casualties. Same situation, but different decisions.
