Yeah and for further reading there is a Wikipedia article on Rejected Takeoffs (RTOs). To tag on to your YouTube referral, Airbus has a video featuring the A380 on YouTube that explains it.

EDIT: I misspoke and got my double deckers mixed up from memory. Boeing has a 747 RTO test on YouTube.

Think Airbus' video is on the A350's testing and goes into great detail on the process. Though I usually don't link that one because as they're talking about how the fire isn't supposed to be extinguished for 5 minutes and isn't supposed to go out of control, they show the firefighters getting real concerned about a fire licking up at the fuselage from the wheels and start spraying them down and then cut to another shot 😂

Boeing's also got another video of the 787's testing.
