Narrative:
During the takeoff roll, the aircraft began to shake violently. Maximum speed reached was 110 KTS. We aborted and came to a stop on the runway. I made an announcement to the passenger to remain seated and that an update would follow. Pit tower was notified and crash fire rescue equipment was called. Pit airport operations found the torque link scissor pin on the runway. All gear pins were installed by crash fire rescue equipment. Ground services were called for a tow crew. The passenger were informed of the situation and we were towed back to the gate.
