South Central Illinois | There was already severe icing on the tail section.
The moment they tried to gain altitude, the tail section started to fail.
Somehow, or another, the effort to make the change to pitch upward to gain altitude, made things fall apart on the tail section.
At the moment they asked to gain altitude they were already in a very serious situation.
In hindsight, they should’ve been in a much higher elevation to begin with.
