I didn't hear about it until a coworker mentioned it.  Anytime there is an accident like this, we usually do a briefing ourselves as a "what if" it happened here, how would we handle it.

FYI I am an airport firefighter.

Preliminary info suggest that icing may have played a part in the tragic crash.

I was greeted by this before I went to school this morning. It's a shame that this happened.

Just saw a link to an ATC audio sample... but nothing to learn there. They were at the outer marker at about 2500, had just spoken to ATC with no mention of a problem, then they were gone.   :'(
