RIP to everyone.

I was wondering if there were any T-bred connections w/ this airport basically a stones throw from horse farms and Keenland. Also a former UK baseball player and his newlywed leaving a day after thier wedding on a honeymoon. That breaks my heart. Not sure who the lone survivor is, but I can't imagine what that would feel like. I would really like to know what the hell happened. The reports we are hearing is that the flight was cleared to take off from runway 22 which was the longest runway, they took off from runway 26 which if you saw the live footage, was like a driveway compared to 22. No way they had enough runway to get to speed. How did the tower not notice which one they were on and how did the pilot not know what runway he was supposed to take off from?
