At the end of the day... it was a crap shoot that paid off. Sometimes actions taken in the heat of the battle pay off and well. sometimes they don’t.

There were only two people in the cockpit at the time the event took place. The two present in the cockpit were the only ones aware of their current situation along with their abilities. The rest of us on this thread are just speculators and second guessers... those who agree and those who disagree.

Let’s suppose their decision were to continue with the takeoff with a disastrous outcome. Then upon the review of the DFDR, which is eventually shared with the public, was determined that the failure occurred at the exact point. Then what would the comments be from the arm chair quarterbacks?
