If the tower cleared the airplane to the correct runway and the pilots
taxied to a different one, how does the tower share in this blame?


On what basis are you assuming that he was cleared to the correct runway?

Doesn't matter. It is up to us as pilots to be familiar with all
available information prior to our flight. That includes the length of
runway required for takeoff and the lengths of the runways at the
airports we are using.


I agree with you. I was simply asking why you assumed that he was cleared for
the correct runway.

I didn't. I said if he was. I think the likelihood is that he was as
I've rarely been cleared to an incorrect runway so I think the odds of
that are small, but not zero hence the "if" in my statement.
