Default Crashing on takeoff... how odd

Bob Gardner wrote:

Airplanes are heavier on takeoff than at any other time, and the margin
between their climb speeds and the stall is at its smallest. Ask anyone who
has done a V1 cut in training or on a checkride (jets only). I'm willing to
venture that the pilots of the accident plane did all of the appropriate
calculations for the longer runway. Seems to me that if a plane is cleared
for takeoff on a long runway but lines up on a shorter runway, there is a
lot of blame to be shared between the cockpit and the tower.


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?
