Narrative:

At the beginning of the takeoff roll (which the first officer was making) the first officer brought the power up must enough to spool up the engines. #2, #3, and #3 spooled up but #1 did not. The aircraft began to drift to the left and I told the first officer we could not continue with #4 spooled up and #1 at idle. I reached across to bring #4 back and attempt to bring #1 and #4 up together. As I did so, the aircraft began to drift to the right and I decided to just stop the aircraft and start over as we had not yet reached the displaced threshold and our speed was no more than a brisk taxi speed. However, I missed the #1 thrust lever when I brought the power back and when #1 engine caught it took us off of the runway in spite of left steering, left rudder, and left brake. The nose wheel hit a concrete lid and collapsed. In the future, no more rolling takeoffs.

Title: RWY EXCURSION AFTER TKOF ABORTED.

Narrative: AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TKOF ROLL (WHICH THE FO WAS MAKING) THE FO BROUGHT THE PWR UP MUST ENOUGH TO SPOOL UP THE ENGS. #2, #3, AND #3 SPOOLED UP BUT #1 DID NOT. THE ACFT BEGAN TO DRIFT TO THE L AND I TOLD THE FO WE COULD NOT CONTINUE WITH #4 SPOOLED UP AND #1 AT IDLE. I REACHED ACROSS TO BRING #4 BACK AND ATTEMPT TO BRING #1 AND #4 UP TOGETHER. AS I DID SO, THE ACFT BEGAN TO DRIFT TO THE R AND I DECIDED TO JUST STOP THE ACFT AND START OVER AS WE HAD NOT YET REACHED THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD AND OUR SPD WAS NO MORE THAN A BRISK TAXI SPD. HOWEVER, I MISSED THE #1 THRUST LEVER WHEN I BROUGHT THE PWR BACK AND WHEN #1 ENG CAUGHT IT TOOK US OFF OF THE RWY IN SPITE OF L STEERING, L RUDDER, AND L BRAKE. THE NOSE WHEEL HIT A CONCRETE LID AND COLLAPSED. IN THE FUTURE, NO MORE ROLLING TKOFS.
