    The problem is that the optional deice system on caravans is not designed or approved for flight into known iceing, it is a 'get out of jail' system however it does give pilots flying illegally into icing conditions the confidence to try and fly through or climb out of trouble. This trap has caused the demise of many cessna caravans in the commercial (cargo) world - but may not have anything to do with this incident. Caravans are certified for flight in known icing conditions. There are several AD's dealing with the vans in the ice however. Basically, get the hell out if you find yourself in the ice.

    Condolences to the folks on the plane and their families. So sad.... I too am wondering what the weather was like as the A/C was transiting that area. Frozen precip? I worked on a fleet of Fedex 208's at Portland for 11 years. FX lost several Vans in icing conditions. A couple of them descended rapidly as this accident airplane did, they impacted the ground intact tho. The 208's are great airplanes in all operating parameters except for the icing issues.

    great news! glad the shooter wasn't hurt to badly. a woman in Portland recently killed her attacker with her bare hands (stangled his ass). the guy was allegedly a "hitman" hired by the womans husband. what a tool!
