Flight 5191, a Comair Delta connections flight, went down at 6:07 a.m. about a mile west of Lexington Bluegrass airport, Comair said. The non-stop flight was scheduled to leave at 6 a.m. and arrive at Atlanta’ Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport at 7:18 a.m. Although the cause of the crash is not yet known, we have confirmed that the FBI is enroute to the crash site.
Early info seems to indicate the flight executed its takeoff from the incorrect runway. The length of this runway, which appears to be undergoing improvements of its surface, is approximately 3500 feet. This aircraft requires a minimum takeoff distance of 5,800 feet at the maximum takeoff weight of 51,000 lbs.

The FBI should be there by now.
FBI was called in today. Normally it's the NTSB that would oversee all this.
