BA263 (LHR-RUH) Rejected take off today (did anyone experience a RTO?)

Hi All

Was at LHR today and given the nice weather did a bit of spotting - I can spend only 5hr max at a Galleries lounge, or until the guys at the kitchen giving me Champagne start to laugh at me - next to the smoking area outside T5.

A 744 made her take off run but they rejected after say 15% of runway use their t/o. Obviously they have departed now 30min later so was no big issue.

I am wondering if anyone would know the reason? And has anyone of you already experienced a RTO - I have done 10 go arounds but never an RTO.

(I know given the current situation at BA not the most important topic but I try my luck to get some of your feedback/ experiences).

Cheers
D
