I don't know if you guys can still remember, but I think we have had a similar discussion when the AF Concorde crashed. The discussion goes that the pilots could have saved some of the lives of the pax if they aborted the take off rather than flying with 2 uncontained engine failures and a fuel tank fire.

Anyway IMHO pilots (Esp. those flying twins) should always be prepared to do a RTO after V1 should something catastrophic happen to more than 1 engine. (i.e. Birdstrikes)
