Default CRJ crash at KLEX:

Remember that while the threshhold is displaced, the pavement behind the
displacement (original runway threshhold) is still available for takeoff.


Only if so designated by the airport authority or FAA iaw applicable
policies. Recent aerial video of the airport shot since the crash show that
the displaced paved area of the approach end of Rwy 22 is painted with
yellow chevron striping. Iirc, this indicates that the area is NOT usable
for taxi, takeoff, or landing.
