Copilot Sues Over Ebersol Plane Crash

I haven't heard the specifics of this crash, but I'd have to speculate that an excessive amount of icing brought the plane down. Did the pilots make an immediate attempt to fly out of the icing conditions???

I believe that they crashed while trying to takeoff.

Yes, and ice on the wings was the probable cause. Never got off the ground as I recall.

Makes a little more sense...thanks.
