OK, now, if someone told me this, without me knowing facts, I would say they made up story, but....
Yesterday, Air Serbia E195, wet-leased from Greek Marathon Airlines, had an incident where the crew took off from the middle of the runway, KNOWING it had entered the wrong taxiway D5 instead of D6. Entering D5, they had 1273m for take-off, while the optimal take-off since E195 is 1493m. Captain acknowledge that they entered D5. Result. They had tail strike, "lawn mowed" landing lights, disabling them, etc.

106 passengers on board. I mean, talking about being lucky and guy(s) who will not have a job.
