Yes it is .. it from an flight magazine, where they had as topic the new brakes they were installing on all 767's and the 747's.  to test them they implement a maximum-energy RTO.

An maximum-energy RTO is a dramatic test that involves accelerating an airplane with fully worn brakes to a takeoff speed of nearly 200 mph, and bringing it to a complete stop using only the brakes and the wing spoilers. Engine thrust reversers are not used to help slow down the airplane in this test.

EHM-0361 Karsten:
I think Maarten should talk to our legal department, and ask them to sue that Cessna pilot or the ATC.;D Sadly it isn’t the first time something like this has happen. I hope you got his number

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
As a kind of follow up to pauls reply I saw a KLM Jumbo at EHAM taking off. Then for some reason, he slamed the brakes on and there was red glow from the Wheels, then 6 fire engines came out. Everything ended safe thought Phew!!:]:]

Indeed, they should pay for the damage cause, plus our expenses to accomodate all the stranded patients in hotels.

The number is N700MS
