Are you under the delussion that they intentionally took off on a runway that was clearly too short for their jet and that they were not cleared for? Just when I thought your posts couldn't amaze me anymore than they already have, you come up with this kind of sh*t. It was an accident, and you suggesting otherwise is insane.

For those of you out there who do not like what I have to say, could it be that you just don't like to know the truth about things? There are two forms of dialogue: objective and subjective. Forums are almost always subjective. I state my opinion of things as I see true. Although most of you like to jump on the "happy horse$hit" bandwagon, I elect not to. Before you criticize me for my comments, think to yourself: maybe there is ANOTHER side to things. As harsh as my comments may be, they are all well thought out(with at least two sides to each case analyzed). Maybe you haven't seen the world the way I have, or maybe you are an ostrich who likes to bury your head in the sand and think everything is just hunky dorry. Nevertheless, you peops need to think more.

Yah. I'm sure the FO wanted to live without a leg and be brain damaged for the rest of his life so he purposefully took off on the wrong runway.

Like I said, y'all complain that you aren't paid enough because of the awesome responsibility of conveying people safely from Point A to Point B, but the flip side of that is you have responsibility to accomplish that. If you don't, then you should be held accountable. You/I am not paid to make mistakes.
My friends were at the wedding of the couple killed on that plane that were headed on their honeymoon, and deserve/expect nothing less.
If you want the luxury of being able to make a "mistake" and not be held accountable, don't fly pax.
Merry Christmas.

Right, they purposely took of on a wrong runway. You are so cocky, I don’t know what you are trying to prove.

From article: "The crash has spawned multiple lawsuits, including at least one that names Polehinke as a defendant. Polehinke had taken over the controls after the plane's captain, Jeffrey Clay, who died in the accident, taxied the plane into position. Instead of turning onto the runway for commercial flights, it took off from the runway meant for smaller planes."
Another reason to add to your list of why pilots are underpaid!
Freaking lawyers! I swear!
My prayers for him and his family during this Christmas season!

Wow, profanity, name calling and physical threats all in one post.
I'm not taking sides, but the many posts on this thread come close to violating the forum's TOS, with a few already having gone over the line.
