Today's NTSB briefing. They've listened to the CVR, at 12 seconds prior to impact there was confusion as to what was happening, at 8 seconds someone mentioned a problem with the left engine:

I really, really, hope this was something out of the ordinary that the pilots couldn't have reasonably been expected to correct in time. And not something like the Akron, OH and Teterboro, NJ accidents.

I haven't flown the King Air, my only turboprop time was in C-130's. All the rest is jet time. But I remember the old saying we had about the 2 main things that will kill you in a C-130 being Bleed Air and Props. The props did not auto-feather, you had to pull the condition lever back to do that.
