I know. Except that V1 by definition cannot be higher than Vr. You can't decide to abort (which you have to do for an engine failure below V1) after you've started rotation. Same for V2, it cannot be lower than V1 or Vr. So if that would theoretically be the case, you get a lower V1.

But that's all in the high speed regime. What I was commenting is that from the radio calls you can deduce that this bird did not go through the engine as claimed. They just hit the bird.
