This morning a flight from Lexington, KY to Atlanta crashed soon after takeoff outside of Lexington. Possibly one survivor out of 50 on-board.
UPDATE: The one survivor was the co-pilot of the aircraft. Early indications are that the aircraft took off from the shorter of two runways at LEX, used for daylight takeoffs. At time of takeoff this morning at 6:10am, it remained dark. Runway is 3,500 feet in length. A Bombardier CRJ 200ER requires a minimum of 5,200 feet when filled to 80% of maximum weight according to Federal Aviation Regulations.
