A lr-24 first officer reported his attempt to prevent the captain's takeoff over a disabled aircraft...

Narrative:

We were departing a small bahamian airport when a light twin landed suffering some sort of gear malfunction. The malfunction resulted in a belly landing for the aircraft; an aerostar I believe. The aircraft came to rest in a position leaving approx. 4000 ft of runway unobstructed. At the time of the belly landing we had only started the #2 engine and were sitting on the FBO ramp having not moved from our initial parked position. Once we were aware of the problem aircraft I began to deplane so I could offer assistance to the disabled aircraft not knowing their status. The captain stopped me and told me to sit down; that we needed to leave to keep our schedule. I objected and the captain told me that he was keeping our schedule. He proceeded to taxi and I had to stop him from blocking the path for an emergency vehicle. After the fire truck passed several airport officials; two of whom were in uniform; crossed their arms over their heads and attempted to stop the taxi. I brought this to the captains attention and he did respond. He proceeded to start the #1 engine on the taxi roll disregarding any checklist. Multiple aircraft on the approach to the airport reported they were diverting because of the fouled runway; the captain spoke to one of them via the unicom frequency.as the captain entered the runway I brought it to his attention that we needed 3600 ft of runway according to the performance data for the airplane to safely takeoff and I questioned the wisdom of taking off on approx. 4000 ft of runway with a disabled aircraft with passengers and emergency crews were still close proximity. The captain turned around with about 25kt clearance to the fire truck and over my objection he initiated a takeoff. At no point did the captain respond to any of my objections. Once we landed at our destination the captain said we were fortunate to keep our schedule. We parted ways and I will not share a cockpit with him again.
