Scary Icing ATC tape

What amazed me was she decided to continue the flight.

Indeed... Even if she was 99% sure it was ice there's still that 1% chance
she's wrong. Wouldn't it make good sense to get it on the ground and check
everything out?

On top of that, she's just had a massive jolt of adrenaline. If you've
ever had one you know that it takes more than a few minutes to get your
system back to normal.

I watched a car in front of me roll over and catch fire. The occupant came
out of the window severely burned and several of us who had stopped managed
to get him and hold him down until the ambulance came, which seemed like
half and hour. The guy looked like something out of a horror movie with
planks of his skin separating from his body. The whole experience had me
screwed up for several hours. I can't speak for her physiological state,
but I wouldn't think it's a good idea to fly in that condition if you have
a choice.
