Associated Press, "Study of Comair crash will likely show human error as lead cause"

         Experts who study airplane accidents say the errors that lead to crashes are similar to the common mistakes people make in their everyday lives, akin to locking keys in the car or forgetting an item on a grocery list.
         Shappell believes investigators will ultimately conclude that the errors that contributed to the crash of Comair Flight 5191 in Lexington are not systemic. They will be local, particular to that flight and that morning, he said.
         Scholars said as many as 80 percent of airplane accidents are caused by human error, which may be one of the leading causes of the Aug. 27 crash that killed 49 people. The jetliner crashed after trying to take off from the wrong runway at Blue Grass Airport.
