What amazes me is everyone focusing on this crash to fix the future problems. What about the american eagle in indiana killing everyone onboard 14 yrs ago. Both pilots were exprienced and the captain had tona time on the ATR but they were still holding for 40 min in severe icing condition and same exact senerio with flaps retraction and stick shaker and the finally the roll. The gov decided to blame the crash on the airplane design which was fraud, I flew ATR's in worst weather and had friends flying the machine in finland and denmark for so many yrs and no incident. I think we're 15 yrs too late and the feds should have adress the problem then.
