Evening,
This is my first post, I was on the 22:50 CPH to BKK flight yesterday(Saturday 24th May). The SAS A340 aborted take-off. I'm guessing very close to V1.
The presentation from the pilot described that debris had been deposited on the runway - apparently coming from engine 1, so the plane is not allowed to be moved. He described "unusual readings" on engine 1 during the take off roll. This was followed by a "short fire" indication that cleared when the engines went to idle. When the plane came to rest I could smell burning rubber.
All in all, it's been a rather dramatic evening for me. Debris falling off aircraft engines sounds rather serious.
