Monarch emergency - take off then aborts landing
No this isn't the Daily Mail - yet, but the local Birmingham rag. How can an aircraft lift the nose then abort the landing?
Emergency alert as take-off aborted on Birmingham Airport flight - Birmingham Mail
What happened to V1- commit to take off - rotate?

This isn't a news story. I'm bored of stuff like this being posted on this website, it's become so low brow.
I'd have thought that anyone sitting by a window would have a pretty good idea as to whether or not the pitch attitude had changed, not to mention the thump when the brakes went on and the NLG banged back onto the runway.
Collective hallucination ?
It only says 'a traveller' reported the front wheel airborne.
Which traveller, where they were seated, (perhaps in the middle aisle reading a newspaper?), how keen they were to be part of a dramatic narrative when interviewed etc is not mentioned. There seems no reliable evidence of rotation other than the reported statement from 'a passenger'. I would want more than that before assuming it had rotated.

The FR24 track has the A321 taking a shortcut across the grass from the runway back to the terminal. So maybe not ... 
Slightly more interesting is the fact that the aircraft in question had been sat at BHX from March 4th until yesterday. Do Monarch have scheduled maintenance carried out there (the report mentions a prior engine change) ?

I collected an airframe from the Monarch hangar not long after it had opened, it is a tremendous facility and was absolutely spotless, like an operating theatre.
