On a similiar note...

This morning I was on AS100 (734, N780AS) ANC-PDX. We started our take-off roll on runway 32 and within a couple of hundred feet the engines stopped and we rolled to a stop.

FO came on and announced that we'd had a mechanical problem, minor, that we'd taxi back off the runway, they'd talk to maintenance, and hopefully all would be well.

Few minutes later FO comes back on saying they talked to maintenance and were able to fix the problem, no other info. We taxied back to 32 and took off normally.

I asked one of the FAs later on if she knew what had happened. Apparently the speed brake had not been "secured properly" causing the aborted take-off. Has anyone else ever experienced this? It was a first for me.

I'm sure there were a few who were a little nervous...
