Free Internet Press, "49 Killed, 1 Survivor
In Kentucky Plane Crash"
Forty-nine
of the 50 people aboard Delta Flight 5191 were killed when
the aircraft crashed Sunday morning shortly after takeoff from
Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky, according to Fayette
County Coroner Gary Ginn.
Ginn said
he believes most people died from fire-related causes "rather
than smoke inhalation."
Flight
5191 - operated by Delta Air Lines' commuter carrier, Comair - was en route to
Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, where it was scheduled to
land at 7:18 a.m. ET. First responders extricated
the crew's first officer - the crash's lone survivor - according to Blue Grass
Airport's Chief of Public Safety Scott Lanter.
