Wow. That video sure does lend credence to a departure off of 26. Damn.

Godspeed to all of us.

oh boy wrong runway

COMPLACENCY!!!

Was it a standup? Maybe a reduced rest overnight? I wonder if fatigue will be involved. Maybe the time has come for regionals to recognize pilot pushing.

God bless the families, friends and fellow employees.

This is unreal.

COMPLACENCY!!!

Shut the F up you freakin idiot! You read an email post and instantly think you know exactly what happened! You should go and work for CNN and make a living guessing and gasping! This is all still speculation, so lets not accuse the crew just yet.....IDIOT!

Runway 26 is a "day time only" runway and is NOT lighted- according to the airport authority.

It really sucks. Its student pilot stuff to take off on the right runway though. . . tired or not. . . .

 

[Mayday911]

Anybody have a link to the video on the internet?

Mayday

No actually I looked at the tv picture of the airplane crashed on the end of the short runway. Pretty easy to see this one man. Be nice.

Runway 26 is day time use only, not 22.

God Bless to all the families as well as the Comair employees. This will be as hard on fellow employees as it is to the families of the victims.

We should all join the ranks of waiting until the preliminary report comes and not feed into the guessing games of the media.

too early to tell anything. the media are scum. i think a tendency to gab and a private pilot license makes you an "aviation expert" to the media.

God bless all those involved

That is completely incorrect, I landed on it last night. The VASI is decomissioned, The Papi is OTS and the REILs are OTS but the runway lights work. I landed there last night.

Correct, sorry.

Why doesn't a moderator ban IFLYABEECH! You mean a B-1900 for Gulfstream???

 

[WabiSabi]

There is complancency when you take off from the wrong freakin runway! and kill a load of people. Look at where the crash is. . .

Real mature with the "shutup" response.

the crash site's location suggests that it is a possibility but, it still isn't conclusive. if you weren't being so presumptuous and sensationalistic, you might see that there are a number of scenarios that might result in the crash site's location. most professional pilots at least wait or the NTSB's preliminary report before drawing a conclusion/

i'll repeat it. shut up

What exactly have I done to be banned?

Okay, the airport authority said it. I stand corrected.

My prayers are with the family of the crew and passengers. Tragic day.
