About this listen

In the early hours of August 27, 2006, Comair Flight 5191 prepared for what should have been a routine takeoff from Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport. The Bombardier CRJ-100 had 50 people onboard, ready for a quick hop to Atlanta. But as the aircraft started its takeoff roll, it veered onto the wrong runway—one that was far too short for a safe departure. Within seconds, the aircraft crashed, and 49 lives were tragically lost.

How did an experienced crew end up on the wrong runway? What went wrong during those crucial moments before takeoff? Today, we’ll explore The Flight Files of Comair Flight 5191.
