Believe it or not, ice had no part in this accident. I am sure the investigation will show that the de-ice system was doing it's job and the wings were clean. The airplane was being flown too slow for even a nice sunny day in Florida.
No, I believe the stick shaker/stick push system is fine the way it is.
It appears as though someone used force to over ride the system. If that is true then, aside from the low airspeed, that is what caused this crash.
