Thing is: There is no aural warning: 'Hello, my name is nosewheel and I just blew'. There might not even be a 'bang'. All you have is a massive, sudden vibration of uncertain origin. Nothing wrong with that crew's reflexes.

Taking flaphandlemover's advice - let the following speak.

It appears that guys want a healthy discussion so when they are faced with a similar decision they might have more information to make in their case a good decision."

Some old timers might remember an EK A300-600R had a nose tyre failure at V1 one night at MTOW (about 15+ years ago). Tread seperated and hit under the E&E compartment so hard all three IRS's failed . All screens blank after the bang so take off and return continued on standby instruments

to the crew involved , sandpit is right I recall the event too. if you need a defensive argument when you are facing the "panel" , it might be worth adding this to your arnsenel. good luck guys.

just my 2 rusty cents here...so you're barrelling down the runway, you're a few knots before V1, you hear a bang, the aircraft pulls to one side. Maybe you have time to look at N1, maybe you're too busy trying to keep it on centerline.
appears a lot like the V1 cut we do every PPC to me, except it happened a second before V1. They did just what most (if not all) of us would do in that situation.
but that's just me.
