Comair Pilot Error
Look closely at a picture of Rwy 26 and you will see solid (white?)
lines either side of the centerline that are probably 75 feet apart.
That's a good observation by C Massey though. Some of the news reports
mentioned that runway 26 was only half as wide as 22, so they
questioned how could the pilots not have noticed something that
obvious? Well, being that the pavement is actually 150 ft wide, runway
26 was unlit, they probably didn't notice the lines that marked it was
only 75 ft usable width.
