Associated Press, "Air Crash Report: Family
Sues Over Deadly Comair Crash"
The family of a
woman killed when Comair Flight 5191 took off on the wrong runway and crashed
in flames sued the airline Friday, blaming it for the nation's deadliest
airplane disaster in five years.
The lawsuit
accuses Comair of negligence and says passenger Rebecca L. Adams suffered "conscious pain and suffering" when
the plane went down Sunday morning and quickly burned with 49 people
still inside.
The only survivor was
the co-pilot, who remained hospitalized Friday but was upgraded from critical
to serious condition.
The regional jet
had left the gate before dawn with 50 people aboard. The pilots mistakenly
turned onto the wrong runway, one too short for the twin-engine plane,
and tried to take off. The plane crashed in a field just beyond Lexington's
Blue Grass Airport.
