A Sad Accident

Story on icing conditions possibly being behind the crash:
http://www.ktvb.com/news/regional/st...1554abe71.html
That story reads as if it were written by Cessna's competitors. It makes it
sound as if it's Cessna's fault if someone crashes after flying into icing
conditions. It creates the impression that an airplane that cannot fly
continuously in icing conditions is somehow defective and that the
manufacturer needs to warn pilots about the dangers of the aircraft.
This is very different from the notion of it being a very bad idea for any
pilot to flying into icing conditions, with or without an airplane certified
to enter them (and continuous flight in icing conditions is not the same as
being able to tolerate them briefly).
Someone either wants to direct all blame away from the crew or wants to damage
the reputation of Cessna.
