You would only have noticed that something is wrong as soon as you had left the ground effect. Until then you would have used the same Vr and therefore required almost the same amount of runway to get the wheels off. Bouncing back to the runway is certainly not an option once the iron lady tells you stall especially when the plane starts rolling unexpectedly. What makes you sure, you would have saved the day?
