i myself agree with what the NTSB came up with, as far as it being the fault of the pilots. However, i wasn't there when the rulings were being decided, i don't know how the NTSB came to the conclusion, but it was a mistake, a simple mistake that could have happened to anyone, none of us are above it. However, as she stated, there are many problems along the route from that ramp area to the runway, lots of links in the chain that if any had been broken, i wouldn't be writing this. If ATC turned around and said, "check your heading boys" , if the FO noticed the difference, if someone said "ATC, how about some lights down here" ... anything, could have changed the entire outcome. My heart goes out to the family of the victims including the FO, i wish NONE of us the same fate...fly safe.
