Circumstances:
During the takeoff roll at Jolo Airport, at V1 speed, the captain heard two loud bangs apparently coming from the left engine and decided to abandon the takeoff procedure. He initiated an emergency braking maneuver but the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, went through a concrete wall and eventually collided with a bulldozer. Three passengers and a crew member were killed while 26 other occupants were injured.
