NTSB update on the Comair flight says that the plane never rotated; all three wheels on the ground as it exited the runway--it "drove" off the end. Pilots had no alcohol in their systems.

"No alcohol": Well, at least this ought to shut some of my (nonflying) friends up--at least regarding the partying angle. Still it was a sad, sad thing...

I had not heard anything about partying. They did find some trace Sudefed int eh co-pilots system but not anything to say he was imparied. There are also reports that the co-pilot cannot remember anything about the crash. he has a long road still ahead of him.

They are still talking about his spinal injury. Has any heard if he has paralysis?

I heard this morning "the co-pilot is expected to make a full recovery" on the news. An amputation doesn't seem to fit with that statement!

I think they feel that the whole is greater than the sum of his parts!
