Rather nice I thought.

Love the way the sand puts out the brake fire. Top job!

Probably over the max weight (overloaded), too hot, too much vodka/whiskey, and not enough maintenance!
This is what my mates say about Russian(s) aircraft operations in Angola and the sorts.........

Looks like he aborted the take off after V1 - the decision speed on the runway.

Not aborted but as good as:

Air Services management got hold of it, and disciplined him for putting the video up, and for the comment she made.

Yes I agree and he must have been forced to apply the brakes above the emergency maximum braking speed.

From the start the takeoff did not look healthy.

Could have ended worse I guess.
