Seems they were distracted to the point of taking off without clearance by :"As the airplane began the left turn to be perpendicular to the runway, they stated the V-speeds were no longer on the display screens.".
And subsequently missed those abort calls because they had 2 failures.
And still decide to continue the take off.
I did about 7 years of ACMI abroad, and 8 in 91k, currently 10+ in 121. Flew with 1 guy that this would have happened to, when I started flying 25 years ago, as a very junior FO. That is still 1 too many, but I don't think this would be normal in 135.
