Factual narrative

THE PILOT INITIATED AN INTERSECTION TAKEOFF WITH 1400 FT OF RUNWAY REMAINING. AFTER STARTING THE TAKEOFF, HE ELECTED TO ABORT; HOWEVER, THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH OBSTACLES. THE PERFORMANCE CHARTS SHOWED THAT A 3000 LB AIRCRAFT WOULD REQUIRE 2000 FT TO CLEAR 50 FT OBSTACLES DURING A TAKEOFF WITH NO FLAPS.
