Read the full NTSB narrative

While on the takeoff roll, as the airspeed increased, the co-pilot called "V1," and immediately alerted the pilot to the presence of birds. The birds began to impact the airplane and the pilot aborted the takeoff. The airplane came to rest about 100 feet prior to the departure end of the runway. Examination revealed that both engines had ingested birds.
