The CVR transcript of the Comair tragedy will give more support to the notion of "confirmation bias" as the cause of this accident. Not even the slightest hesitation that they were accelerating down the intended runway...

I have a question... when was the last time that any of you accelerated for takeoff down an UNLIT runway during the hours of darkness while operating a transport category aircraft? And lest we forget, they did pass the runway lights of the intended runway 22 shortly after commencing their t/o roll.
