possible situations... pure speculation...

blown tire on take off.. causing problems... directional control, FOD into
the engine.. engine gauges spike.. engine starts tearing itself apart..

or some other FOD on the runway thrown up by the preceding jet.. ingested
into engine.. scenario continues..

pilot realizing engine is about to come apart and aircraft is not responding
to braking decides to use his e-ticket ride coupon..

as an instructor once said to me...
never try to save an airplane that is trying to kill you..
do not hesitate to give it back to the tax payers for another one..

planes can be replaced .... combat warriors are harder to come by..

An F-18 Naval Strike Fighter crashed at RDU today. It appears it was
taxing
or in the process of taking off, but never lifted off. Might have been
wake turbulance from another F-18 that had just departed.
