Just listened the horrific ATC audio. Why didn't she initiate LearJet's heated wing de-icing? When OAT is around 0C should have been turned on. They were flying in -47C that's ridiculous cold.
Warning. Heard people say on Reddit to NOT listen to that audio.

Yeah will have to wait a year or two to find out the cause.

I'll just say I wonder why they flew in that weather system at all. From watching too many accidents on YT I am guessing with private aviation there is more pressure to get it done.

On flight radar where I live if there is a fraction of the thunder storms the sky is a ghost town and they will delay departures to wait it out.

I wish I hadn't listened to that ATC recording. Read the transcript instead, trust me on this one.
I listened to the audio. Sadly, an emotional female pilot knowing she was about to crash. From 30,000 ft to ground zero in less than 60 sec, they said.
