Comment on Engine fell off US cargo plane before deadly crash: officials

Video shared by WLKY showed the left engine ablaze as the aircraft tried to lift off.
That’s weird. Did the sensors fail to recognize the fire, or did the crew know about it and decide it was too late to abort the takeoff?

Past a certain speed you can’t abort a takeoff. V1 it’s called. Basically you wouldn’t be able to slow down before careening off the end of the runway.
If they didn’t know when they reached V1, training dictates that they should takeoff and circle back around to land.
