Flags in Kentucky are flying at half staff Wednesday as the state remembers the victims of a deadly plane crash.
Wednesday marks the second anniversary of the crash of Comair flight 5191.
Forty-nine passengers and crew members died when their plane took off from the wrong runway at Lexington's Bluegrass Airport.
Officials say the jet tried to take off from a runway that was too short for commercial planes. It clipped trees and a perimeter fence before crashing into a farm adjacent to the airport.
On Wednesday morning, flags at all Kentucky state buildings were lowered in honor of the people who died in the Lexington crash.
A public memorial service is planned for 7 p.m. at the Mitchell Fine Arts Center at Transylvania University in Lexington.
Earlier this month, Comair settled nearly all passenger lawsuits stemming from the crash, averting a trial that could have overlapped the anniversary.
