Kentucky plane crash kills 49, pilot survives

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Reuters) - A Comair jet crashed and burned in a Kentucky horse pasture on Sunday after a failed takeoff, killing all but one of the 50 people aboard, authorities said. 

Flight 5191, a Canadair CRJ-100 bound for Atlanta, apparently used the wrong runway at Blue Grass Airport, one that was much shorter and not meant to handle commercial flights, an aviation source said.
