From what I could see there was nothing especially unusual about this case.
Yup.
Yes the engine failed in a nasty place...
Mind you, a V1 cut is what is practiced the most. I wonder what the result would have been if it had happened at 200', 15-20deg NU or during the clean up?
...simply following the "book" actions would have caused the the aircraft to climb to safe height after which a routine single engine landing would have been prepared for and executed.
Does look that way. I haven't been able to view the report yet but judging from the flight profile on the chart, it would appear that not much in the way of automation was used to try and lower the workload.
Also from the chart, if they were that desperate to get on the ground, they were lined up with 36C then 36L shortly after. Doesn't really make sense.
