Anybody else think there is a slight tailwind component?

WOW.

Yeah, I agree, looking at the smoke I would say there is a fair tailwind component.

I don't know what's scarier - the abort and flames, the over-run, or the fact that people are casually walking next to the runway as the plane is taking off (or trying to)!!

Crazy.
