Most of the fuselage was intact, the wings and the fuel tanks seperated leaving gaping holes for flaming jet fuel to enter.. and well lets not think too much about the aftermath.

Those poor souls.

Living in Lexington, and watching non-stop coverage today, I am 99.8% sure it is NOT terrorist related. Pilot for some reason just took off on the short runway. In the end, it will probably be a combination of various human error factors. The pilot, ATC, and new design of the runway approaches. I have not been on a flight out of there, since the work last weekend. But they did a lot more than just repaving. They moved the main runway about 500 feet further down. This put the beginning of runway 22 right next to the beginning of runway 26. Only a short approach way between them. In the past, you had to go about 300-400 futher down past 26 before turning left on the main 22 runway. Looks like a poor redesign also.

Two of our good friends were on the plane. They were headed to California for a vacation. We were at their house this morning with their only daughter when the airlines called to confirm her parents were dead. Tought day. Also another guy who started work with me on the same day in our first jobs right out of college was on the plane. I had knew him for over 20 years. And another 5-6 folks I knew who they were. And they still have only released about 30 of the 50 names.
