There are a lot of Lear Jets crashing in the same manner in the last few years.

This one, the one in eastern PA, a Mexican med one, and I think the one off of Massachusetts recently.

That was a nasty crash

Suspect they might find that horizontal stabilizer miles away from the impact. Awful way to go for those poor people.

It's surprising to me they have not yet found a way to keep that ice from building up on the wings.

It's surprising to me they have not yet found a way to keep that ice from building up on the wings.

most have ice breakers that inflate on the leading edge of the wings. not sure if it's an automatic inflation or not as the 2 lear's my dad had were equipped with those or at least the 55 was best i remember. kingair 300 also had them that my grandma had. look for a black front edge on wings as that will tell you but some de-ice in a different manner or could be heated using fuel circulation.
