Fox just announced that the officer who survived was piloting the plane at the time of the crash.
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Investigators in Lexington, Ky., say the pilots of a Comair jet that crashed Sunday on takeoff noticed there were no lights on the runway they mistakenly used. It was too short.

A National Transportation Safety Board official said the only survivor, the first officer, was piloting the plane. All 49 others on board were killed.
The safety official said the cockpit voice recorder shows the pilots were talking about the absence of lights on the runway, but they didn't report it to the control tower.
Investigators are looking into whether the runway lights or changes made to a taxiway during a repaving project a week ago confused the commuter jet's pilots.
One flight instructor who flies almost every day out of Lexington says he was confused by the redirected taxi route when he was with a student Friday taking off from the main runway.

"Fox just announced that the officer who survived was piloting the plane at the time of the crash."
The NTSB will certainly be talking to him if and when he's able to respond, but we probably won't get any info about what he says for years. When the final report is released, we may get some of it, but a lot will probably be held back until all the lawsuits have been adjudicated.
The only clues that we may get about what he says may be from new reg.s, etc. from the NTSB over the next year.
