"The clearance was likely, "Comair 191, taxi to runway 22.", which would have implied a crossing of runway 26. Only had the controller added, "hold short of runway 26" would the pilot have had to stop there."

That makes more sense than anything that we are hearing on TV.

I wouldn't trust a thing they're saying on TV, and I also wouldn't trust MSNBC's "sources confirming" a runway 26 departure. I suggest waiting for an NTSB presser or some other official word on what happened.

If there's one thing I've learned in my couple years in the industry, it's that the news media doesn't have a friggin' clue about aviation operations.
