He may have been running down the runway and V1 came and went before he figured it out. He had to pull up at that point.
I’ve seen it a bunch. Idiots in 172s with a full load of fuel and four guys in the AC. They keep running down the runway - thinking they are going to get up, then run out of room and eat the chain link at the far end.
It happened twice in two months at I65 a couple years ago.
I69.
Autocorrect is a terrible thing!!!
