A former airline had us call "V1" 5 knots prior to account for this.

And you know this how ?
If a nose tire failed, and they initiated the abort prior to V1, but the a/c was unable to stop in the remaining runway because of worn brakes, tires, and a faulty anti-skid system.
Or any of a number of other factors that could have happened.
I'd rather wait for the official findings. Maybe you should to.

But I digress
And the hazmat happened TWICE, lucky for them it wasn't a SYR turn.
