One passenger reports that they were told they may have to change planes due to a problem. Then it tried to take off but aborted. On the second attempt it crashed. If the crew had any doubts they shouldnt have gone.

Only 26 people have escaped alive after a plane carrying 175 people burst into flames shortly after taking off from Madrid's airport, a rescue official has said.
Spanish emergency services have been taking the injured to hospital There are fears that the remaining 149 on board, including two babies, may have perished inside the fuselage after it landed off the side of a runway at Barajas airport.
The extent of the tragedy was described by a worker of airport owner AENA who witnessed the disaster.
"The plane was totally broken apart, it was all full of bodies," the worker told El Pais newspaper.
Two civil guards returning from the scene of the stricken aircraft told the same newspaper: "It doesn't look anything like a plane - it's horrific - everything is burnt.
"It's the closest to hell that I've seen. The bodies were boiling, we burnt ourselves collecting them."
Firefighters have now put out the flames at the crash scene and are continuing to dampen down the scene.
The accident happened as Spanair Flight JK-502 2 was taking off at 14:45 local time (1245 GMT), bound for Gran Canaria.
The plane was a shared-code flight with Lufthansa's LH-255.
Witnesses said the left engine caught fire as the aircraft reached maximum speed and started to lift, causing the plane to crash to the ground and break into two parts.
According to El Pais, the disaster occurred during a second attempt at take off.
An earlier attempt had to be averted after technical issues, which resulted in an inspection of the plane.
Passengers were reportedly warned they may need to change planes.
