I’m not a pilot either, but early in the roll might have meant a blown tire or a brake malfunction. I still have a feeling the heavy crosswind is going to end up being some sort of a factor, though. Just a hunch.

Brakes are not the cause. Most likely engine failure followed by braking, compounded by cross-winds and icing. These pilots deserve a month off for saving many lives in this aborted take-off.
