Thoughts and prayers....

I hate the way the news networks let their idiot anchors mindlessly run there mouths and speculate even though they have zero clue what they are talking about!!

Does anyone know what kind of wing anti-ice the Q400 has? This just sounds eerily similar to Comair 3272 that crashed in Detroit while on approach in icing conditions.

Media is reporting mechanical trouble calls to the tower before the plane went down.

I heard no indication of distress calls on liveatc.net, but that was listening to Buffalo approach, I haven't heard any of the tapes from the tower.

If it's the same as the other Dashes, it's got boots.

From pictures of the aircraft, it looks like it has boots. The leading edges of all wing and tail surfaces are black... that's my guess.

The NFP was female from listening to the tapes... not sure if that helps or not.
