Here's a TSB Report about a DC-10 overrun at Vancouver, where the Captain rejected the takeoff after V1, because of a loud bang, which he thought was a bomb - it turned out to be a compressor stall, but the interesting point here is that the Captain had previously determined his actions in a case like this (1.14.2.3 Decision Making on Flight 17):

The captain's decision to reject was based on the fact that he did not recognize the initial sound and subsequent thumping noises, and that, because he thought the bang could have been a bomb, he had concerns about the integrity of the aircraft and its ability to fly. Also, the captain stated that, based on the rejected take-off provisions in the DC-10 Flight Manual and on a fatal DC8 accident that he had witnessed, he had developed a mental rule to not take an aircraft into the air if he suspected that there was aircraft structural failure.
