Regarding the CAL Denver incident...

"The noise was detected 41 seconds after the jet started speeding down a runway at Denver International Airport on Saturday. Four seconds later, one of the crew members called for the takeoff to be aborted, said Robert Sumwalt, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board."

41 seconds after starting to speed down the runway?? Um, I don't fly it, but are there any jets that are going to be accelerating for 41 seconds down a runway and still be on the ground. OK, maybe that was the problem, but am I missing something here or is it the media being the media?

Whatever happened, major kudos to the crew!
