I recall having heard of two similar fatal accidents with the predecessor, the F-28. After the first one in Canada, airlines were warned about the rapid ice bildup on top of the wings due to the cold fuel inside, and that there was no heating to prevent this. Another accident still happened in spite of the warning. Now I wonder, after similar F100 crashes, that the problem persists with these newer planes.
