Just listened the horrific ATC audio. Why didn't she initiate LearJet's heated wing de-icing? When OAT is around 0C should have been turned on. They were flying in -47C that's ridiculous cold.

I wish I hadn't listened to that ATC recording. Read the transcript instead, trust me on this one.

I listened to the audio. Sadly, an emotional female pilot knowing she was about to crash. From 30,000 ft to ground zero in less than 60 sec, they said.

Maybe turn audio off, having read other comments it seems to be extremely unpleasant for some people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1jvvPRHJL0 The calm in the pilot's voice, then alternating with sheer terror and panic. Holy shit it's awful.

After the Wokes started the political proactivism of literally claiming that "Professionalism is a Racial Construct" or "sexism" ([Professionalism as a Racial Construct]( https://www.uclalawreview.org/professionalism-as-a-racial-co... ), [You Call It Professionalism; I Call It Oppression in a Three-Piece Suit]( https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/02/professionalism-and-opp... )), there had been a lot of airplane crashes caused by inconceivable incompetence on the part of the pilots.
