So many things wrong with that article and how it is written, including those adjectives straight out of this:

The Lazy Journalists Plane Story Generator


Seems an important factor was a misunderstanding of English among many other things. I thought that was supposed to be addressed with the ICAO english language tests. Big diffference between being able to continue flying if a supercharger fails, and continuing a take off wihout take off power when there is enough runway to abort.

This video would be good for education about the old chestnut of not turning back after EFATO - shows what it actually looks like.

A good case study for the swiss cheese principle... no winners out of this situation.
