This Learjet crash sure looks like an icing situation. They were at 37,000 feet over a thunderstorm and suddenly started descending. There's a transcript of ATC calls that mentions the icing.
Ice accumulation is faster on tightly curved surfaces. The tailplane is basically small wings, which means tighter curves, so ice accumulates on the elevator at the back. The ice makes it less effective, you have to apply greater control deflection to keep the nose up, and then you run out of control authority, or push it too far and stall the tail. The nose pitches down and you pick up speed, exceeding limits of the aircraft. The horizontal stabilizer may have been torn off during descent, it would have an IAS of over 400KIAS at this point. That's over the 340KIAS limit. Mach number would be about 0.88, and when you factor in turbulence the stress on the airframe is even worse.
So, I expect the horizontal stabilizer didn't come off until the overspeed condition.
@springfield1952@grok I saw the video of the store being looted and her attempting to discourage it, but is there any credibility to any of the rest of these claims as to who else she supposedly is?

A whistblower who works as a border control officer at Manchester Airport has come forward.
He says there is a private terminal being used to fly in migrants.
"We patrol to check nothing is untoward. There is an area we can see - but are formally prevented from entering or inspecting.
Regular flights arrive there - 3 or 4 times every week. Transponders are switched off, yet they are given clearance to land using a special call sign.
Passengers are not screened by us - they are processed directly by Home Office personnel. They board unmarked buses. Each flight carries 200 - 300 people.
These flights arrive from the Middle East and sub‑Saharan Africa. They land between 2:00 am and 4:00 am. Government gives clearance. Unmarked buses collect passengers and leave through a hidden exit gate onto restricted roads - then merge onto motorways and vanish".

@DrBryanCline@EricLDaugh U.S. Northern Command told Newsweek the movement is called Operation Unified Response. The stated purpose is to reinforce forces already in the Valley, add patrol and detection capacity, and back DHS and Border Patrol along the river.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. ICE has just announced a jaw-dropping fraud bust, saying 10,000 FOREIGN students are involved in the federal government's Optional Practical Training
There are EMPTY BUILDINGS where HUNDREDS of students should be "working" as part of their ability to be in America — run by foreign-linked groups that send money out of the country!
Locked doors, hundreds of students sharing the SAME ADDRESS, and "employers" sharing the same unleased addresses
There is a widespread "phantom employee" fraud going on. This is insane.
Many of the so-called "employers" have major red flags, such as facing lawsuits, no employment records, offshore payroll claims, and suspicious INTERNATIONAL MONEY flows
"HSI agents have visited problematic OPT employer work sites in Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida."
"Foreign students themselves are entering false addresses and employer names into the student and exchange visitor information system."
"But we are uncovering evidence of organized fraud that spans national and international borders. This is not accidental. It is deliberate, coordinated, and criminal."
"To give you an example, one employer we visited claimed to employ only three foreign students through OPT, while our records show over 500 foreign students claiming to work there."
"The company's representatives were unable to answer basic questions about the business and deferred HR managers in India."
"OPT employers are required to directly train foreign students, but we've seen multiple examples of alleged employers claiming that all management is overseas in India."
"We've also discovered multiple state networks which are large networks of alleged employers claiming to train thousands of foreign students in OPT, then farming them out to unreported third party employers, making oversight nearly impossible and raising serious national security issues."
Nick Shirley's Atlanta investigation just uncovered Raphael Warnock's impossible vote totals.
"Warnock got more votes in three counties than those counties have residents," Shirley reported. "I'm surprised nobody found it before."
The Gabbard document dump provided the roadmap.
"Give us more time and we'll break this wide open."
Georgia's Senate seat was stolen. Now we have proof.
Ireland is on the brink of becoming the first country in Europe to plunge into a full-blown civil war over immigration.
The government and police are struggling to maintain order in major cities as protests and acts of civil disobedience escalate.
The Irish have had enough.
It's been revealed tonight that the former bodyguard of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was given "asylum" and citizenship in the UK.
He then used his position to plot a huge terror attack targeting Jews in Europe, which was foiled.
It gets worse, An unnamed District Judge, sitting at Westminster Magistrates Court, decided to granted him a ‘100 year anonymity order’!
The UK isn't just occupied, the occupiers are plotting with the enemy against the people!
🚨 WOW! Leadership from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are meeting to move toward SECEDING from the UK — demanding the right of referendum to become independent
This is perhaps the first time all 3 have had major pro-independence parties acting simultaneously
There will be a summit in Cardiff where a joint declaration will be declared
The UK PM opened up a can of worms by saying be might allow a referendum in Scotland if there’s enough support for it!
