No I wasn't flying this one, whew. The pix was on our company intra-net. By accounts the number 4 engine popped a few times before V1 from FOD. I have heard it was a goose and I also heard it was a piece of concrete..or maybe both.
But as expensive as it is to jettison fuel, it far outweighs the risks from an overweight landing on all 18 of those tires !!!!
