They have since updated this report and taken off the originally quoted time (above). (Checking today)
The most comprehensive sourced item for the timing of the crash given on Wikipedia seems to be this one: http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/15429895.htm
which states that the crash occurred within 30 seconds of take-off, and
gave the timing that the plane was “ready to roll around 6am”, and that
it took the wrong runway, one that was too short, and only just cleared
the airport boundary fence before crashing into trees and bursting into
flames at 6.07am local time.

It is reported that 170 died in the crash. (160 passengers and 10 crew), but
there is some discrepancy in the figures. Though there was bad weather at the
