I’m’ with mutt all the way with this one, talk about sensational and misleading. The report (and I read the entire report) said they found a TRACE of the drug that is contained in some legal over the counter, non-prescription cold medicine and in some pain relief medicine.

The cause of the accident was failure to de-ice the aircraft, the left wing in particular as the exhaust from the APU apparently had removed the frost from the right wing.

This accident was tragic enough with the press sensationalizing headlines to promote sales.
