Sounds pretty scary. Did you have any sense for how close to the go/no-go point the plane was?
Never experienced an aborted take-off, but once was on EWR-SNA flight very close to touching down to land when the pilot aborted landing and zoomed back up. Once we were back up and circling to land again, pilot came on PA and told us there was a small plane still at the far end of the runway and he didn't want to take any chances.
