A Boeing 737-330 operated by Lufthansa sustained substantial damage in a takeoff accident at Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport (KTW), Poland.
The aircraft was on the return leg of a flight from Frankfurt, Germany. The flight crew was cleared to taxy to runway 27 via taxiways E and F for departure. After entering the runway, the tail was behind the threshold lights.
Applying takeoff thrust, parts of asphalt were torn off, striking the left side of the horizontal stabilizer. Takeoff was continued with the crew unaware of the extent of damage. After landing serious damage to the tail was revealed.
