The crappy part is the state patrol was in such a hurry to get it off the road, they tied a chain to the tail and started dragging it off (the damage from that looked just as bad as the nose). Or so he said.
The state police don't tow vehicles. Weather a tow service did the damage or not, isn't relevant...as it wasn't impatient state police towing the aircraft. They don't do that.
I work with the pilot and two of the crewmembers. They were doing an icing study. Ice collected on nose cone, broke off into both engines. Definately not a fuel issue.
Well how about that, folks? So much for speculation, that hallmark of professionalism.
