Holy cow, what was your V1? 78 Knots isn't exactly a high-speed abort, can't imagine that being so close unless your runway wasn't what you needed. Was there some sort of failure associated with this scenario?
V1 is usually in the 100-125 kts range.
I was just getting ready to say "80 kts" when we got the yellow message. Capt was wishy washy about the abort for a split second. Not sure exactly what the speed was once they finally committed fully to the abort. The near over-run this time was mostly due to the capt's actions compared to the failure we aborted for. It really opened my eyes though. Aborting over 80 kts is not a fun thing to do.
