I was in a Piaggio taxiing in front of them just before it happened. They were going to takeoff 35R when ATC turned the airport around. They back taxied the runway and exited at L (I think that's it) and gave way to us taxing on 35L.
It's a hard turn from L right onto 35L and their right main went into the grass. Last thing we heard before we took off was from them, "tower, I think we may be in the grass"
On our takeoff roll on 17L I looked over and sure enough their right main was in the weeds.
