Microsoft Flight Sim is a pretty good program. It is actually pretty realistic; BUT, it is just that, a simulator, and with all simulations, they are not 100% accurate. They cannot accurately recreate everything that would be seen, or felt in real life.

That being said; I admit I tried to recreate the accident myself on FS. I didn't have a CRJ, so I used an ERJ. I tried 3 times to get off of that runway, and couldn't. Each time I was able to rotate the nose right at the end of the runway, but could never get airborne until I was in the trees.

That being said, I would never take video of my attempts and actually play it on national news.
