In the article they show two cases where ice was the catastrophic factor:
1. 1994 crash that saw an American Eagle ATR 72-200 go down in Indiana, killing all 68 people on board, likely after an ice buildup.
2. ATR-72 stalled out in 2016 in Norway when ice built up on the plane. The pilot in that incident was able to regain control of the aircraft.
Therefore, in Brazil they are pointing to the accumulation of ice on the wings, if so, then we are facing a possible structural failure of all ATR's.
Same model of plane in doomed Brazil flight has killed nearly 500 people in series of crashes
The ATR 72 twin-engine was being operated by the Brazilian airline Voepass when it suddenly went down on Friday, killing all 62 passengers and crew on board.
