Video of yesterday's second NTSB briefing can be found here.

Very little news facts of interest IMHO that were not already reported here.
The airplane took on 128 gallons of fuel at Vacaville, "topping up" as Mr Rosenker, NTSB, put it.

No specific mention about icing as a factor.
No mention either of witnesses reporting any unusual engine sounds or the lack of engine sound.

Aircraft configured with 2 + 10 seating.
Cabin configured with 8 "executive style" seats (double club arrangement) and 2 "commuter style" seats at rear.
As I understood the briefing, the PC-12 can have a maximum of 2+9 seats i.e. 11 occupants. This particular aircraft was configured with 2+8 seats i.e. 2 pilots seats, one 2+2 club seating group, 2 single seats and 2 "commuter seats" in the back. In other words, a total of 10 seats.
