Delta MD-88 Skidding on Takeoff

Yikes
Even I would have returned to the gate to check the tire..what happened to common sense?
that's what happens when you let kids in the cockpit.....you punks trying to drift planes planes now...tisk tisk tisk
Something else, as (merely) a frequent rider of the MD-80 series, I've noticed that you can often smell "hot" rubber after gear retraction. I don't know if it's from the fore or aft gear, and how it's ingested into the cabin air system since the area isn't pressurized. Has anyone else noticed this?
If so, this cabin had to have been ripe with the smells of that visible smoke first, then those tires had to offer an uncomfortable aroma to concern paying customers even further. Would that not have alerted a concern in the front office? Anyway, I know of pilots that abort T/O if there's a vibration from the gear that indicates a failing tire or other gear problem. But it all comes down to the judgement of those in command, and I'll leave it there. Personally, I would rather plop down on a good set of treads.
The only antics I've had while riding along (to my knowledge) was being aboard an NWA 757-200 at KSEA that was pushed into a Delta 737 (early "merger") that was also pushing back (in low vis). It only felt like a slight slip on snow when we stopped, but it didn't "feel" right. Turns out, both AC's horizontal stabs were bent. Our crew didn't know it, so we started-up and was ready to go when a Delta truck came flying up and alerted us. Not that I know what exactly happened, but from observation, one spotter was taken into custody and later the ramp controller was mentioned as pushing both erroneously from the published investigation.
Point is, if frequent fliers notice abnormalities, wouldn't a trained crew with lots more air time do so as well?

Looks like First officers Take off, Captain's on the tiller ( nose wheel steering). F/O cobs the power Early , Poor CRM ( cockpit resource management). It Happens!
Could be, but that's a lot of assumptions.
