A passenger plane carrying 50 people has crashed shortly after taking off from an airport in Kentucky, killing all but one on board.
The Comair CRJ-100 jet, bound for Atlanta, Georgia, went down in woods about a mile (1.6km) from Lexington's airport at about 0610 (1010 GMT).
One man is in a critical condition and is in surgery at the University of Kentucky Hospital.
It is the worst US air accident since November 2001.
There was no immediate word on what caused Comair Flight 5191 to crash, but aviation officials said there was no indication of terrorism.
Comair have launched an investigation and search operations are under way at the site, where a temporary morgue has been set up.
'Clean record'
The plane was carrying 47 passengers and three crew members. One of the passengers was an off-duty crew member.
US President George W Bush was "deeply saddened" by the crash, a White House spokeswoman said.
Comair had bought the aircraft in 2001 and it had a clean maintenance record, Comair President Dan Bornhorst told reporters.

He said the captain was very familiar with the aircraft, which he said had been operated by the crew on board the fatal flight for some time.
Comair is a unit of Atlanta-based Delta airline.
Family and friends have been gathering at the Atlanta airport to wait for news. Flights resumed at Lexington's airport about four hours after the crash. This is the worst US air accident since November 2001, when an American Airlines plane crashed in Queens, New York, shortly after takeoff from JFK airport, killing 265 people.
