Sorry to hear this, my prayers go out to their families.

Boyette said the plane was attempting to land when it missed on its approach and may have been trying to circle back for another attempt before it crashed.

...

Icy conditions were reported in the area at the time of the crash.

I wonder if they were picking up icing. Although I'd still expect a 90 to carry a bit of ice.

Strange.

The wreckage sure did not spread very far.

My condolences to anyone who knew these souls.

Any thoughts on why there was no fire?

We were in INT when it happened. Low ceilings and ice in the area may have been a factor.
