investigators confirmed Sunday night that the crash of a
Delta-Comair commuter flight from Lexington, Kentucky to
Atlanta came after the jetliner took off on the wrong runway.
49 people died.
As

on runway 26; a short strip at Bluegrass Airport, and from one of flight 5191's

"We have ground scars at the end of Runway 26 as
