Breaking-Plane Crash in Kentucky 49 of 50 passengers have died.

Weather is being blamed for the crash in the early reports...reporting one survivor.

This was the first major crash in nearly five years- ending the safest run in aviation history.

I feel for their families and cannot imagine getting that sort of news.

So a severe Thunder storm is right near your runway and you say go ahead take off?????????

:icon_conf

Wow. a waste of lives.

Amazing that one person made it out alive...critical condition .

CNN site says:

It is unclear what caused the crash. There were no reports of bad weather in the Lexington area.

"It was dark at the time of the accident, but it was clear," Brown said.

A team of National Transportation Safety Board investigators is heading to the crash site to begin an investigation.

Pretty interesting. It goes to show, no matter how much you get your shoes X-Ray'd. Something could still happen.

Ditto....but flying is still by far and away the safest way to travel as marked in that period of 5 yrs

yep and auto accidents where alot of people die that happen many times a day do not get the coverage as ONE plane crash like this

hence it stirs public paranoia with flying

Sad. The airport is right next to Lexington racetrack. Good chance there were some racing folk on that plane. Prayers to their families.

trytrytry · Aug 27, 2006

very good chance some hor racing folk on the flight. No matter who these people are they were precious and will be missed. Terrible news to start the week.

viking611 · Aug 27, 2006

have they said where this flight was heading to/from?

nevermind...just saw Lexington to Atlanta, Delta Flight

I think there's a plane crash for every one of my birthdays.

I remember waking up to hear that Steve Ray Vaughn had died in a plane crash on this day. :cryingcry

jasin4000 · Aug 27, 2006

very sad news...but really amazing how someone survived.

vinividivinci · Aug 27, 2006

I believe the reports will show that they were attempting takeoff on the wrong runway, one intended for smaller, private planes.

Whether the pilots got it wrong (unlikely) or were directed incorrectly by the tower will soon be determined.

Thoughts and prayers to all the families.

VVV

wrong runway is a pretty idiotic move.

one is lit and one isnt.

hmmm.. , lets try the unlit runway in the dark..

what a major blunder if it ends up being true.

terrible situation.

They basically have only one runway at that airport.
The other one is much shorter and in poor condition.
