To me is seems very strange such accident can apparently go unnoticed for some time.
Shouldn't the pilots know they went outside the "envelope" of the runway and report this such that a runway inspection is initiated?
Very strange indeed, as you'd expect an experienced crew to know where a normal (even at max de-rate/assumed temperature) rotation point lies on a runway.
The bold METARs out of the inevitable list (
) seem to suggest a take-off between 23:53Z and 00:53Z, which would be 19:53LT and 20:53LT. So it would have been nighttime in MIA.
