Reply #1: The plane was apparently new and had a de-icing [View All]

mechanism on its wings. So either the de-icing mechanism failed or the FDA is somehow wrong about the cause of the crash. OTOH, I don't know if the icing on the wings would explain why the plane apparently nose-dived straight down, oddly enough, instead of leveling out before crashing, and why there was no may day distress signal from the pilot. Isn't it a bit odd that a relatively large airplane only struck one house? That's because it dropped out of the sky like a rock, which seems quite odd to me. Can any pilots or someone knowledgeable about aviation weigh in on this?
