LEXINGTON, Ky. AP – The family of a woman killed when Comair Flight 5191 took off on the wrong runway and crashed in flames sued the airline Friday, blaming it for the nation’s deadliest airplane disaster in five years.
The lawsuit accuses Comair of negligence and says passenger Rebecca L. Adams suffered “conscious pain and suffering” when the plane went down Sunday morning and quickly burned with 49 people still inside.
