Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."

latest is, the plane took off from the wrong runway, and basically ran out of room.

Yea, it sounds like it didn't have enough runway to get in the air, and as a result crashed through a fence at through a field and into some trees a mile away. Pretty bad mental error on the pilots part. It sounds like the runway is similar to a setup around here, where the long commercial runway and shorter general aviation runway start from the same point (same taxiway) and diverge like a V. The pilot appears to have gone down the 3500 foot general aviation runway.
Sad part, is it sounds like most or all of the people were going to have been killed by fire. It is bad when anyone dies in an accident, but if it happened to me, I would rather have a fast crash, then be engulfed in fire.

Thats terrible. atleast we know it wasn't terrorist caused. That might sound bad, but it sounds like if they took off from the wrong runway, thats the pilot and the towers error and any terrorist speculation can be put to rest.

Yea, the articles I read all pointed that out, since many people immeadiately wonder.
What I didn't realize is that there haven't been any major airline crashes in the US since the Airbus went down in Queens in '01 or '02. The longest stretch of accident free commercial aviation in US history.

As it stands this is entirely pilot error.
The tower had reportedly cleared the flight for a runway 22 departure. Some have speculated there was early morning fog which is possible in the area apparently with humidity being as it is. As you say TN the runways are in an identical line for the starting point, when you add in early morning wake up fatigue and possible fog and low light it could have all been factors.
While it is great news the co-pilot survived, what I hope is that the man is left to recover and is not hounded by the media, the families of the victims and the NTSB. as the sole surviving crew member its worrying that he could be made the scape goat and punished for what appears a crew error. This would be innapropriate as the captain is the man who gives all the final good to go commands. But again its all speculation.
