I think you need to reel you wild imagination in
Ok, wild imagination reeled in.
I was responding to
Initial reports saying starboard engine reversor deployed during T/O roll
If that happened, I stick with my original statement. I don't believe that this is what happened though. I have seen many experienced pilots depart the runway in the sim if an engine is failed at about 25 kts, and it happens in real life when one engine spools up quicker than the other. When a 737 aircraft departed runway 16R in YSSY some years ago and ended up on 07, the crew thought they had a nose wheel problem. The problem was that the right engine came up slower than the left. The nose wheel simply scrubbed along the Tarmac when NWS was used.
Like someone above said, the chances of having a reverser deployed at the start of the takeoff roll are remote.
