I saw a TV report that the possible cause, that made the plane crash in the recent tragedy in Buffalo- New York , is the formation of ice on its wing (or fuselage) . How is this happening and is the quantity of the forming ice so big that it causes the fall of the plane?

Some of these answers are getting ridiculous (and yet they still get thumbs-ups). The primary threat of ice buildup as far as stall is concerned is that it disrupts the smooth flow of air over a wing causing the sudden loss of lift. People need to stop talking about the weight of the ice, as that’s like complaining about the weight of the tiger standing on you while he gnaws on your throat.

Christopher H has it backwards: lift is generated by the shape of a wing because air travels faster over the top of the wing. The higher velocity over the wing results in a lower pressure, and lift is basically the suction over the top of the wing. It is essential that the amount of turbulence in the flow over the wing be controlled: a little bit of turbulence in the boundary layer helps it stick to the wing longer, but if you get into large scale turbulent flow, it becomes separated from the top of the wing. This fully turbulent flow swirls chaotically over the wing and the low pressure distribution that created the suction (lift) is just gone.

A CNN reporter said the plane would roll toward the side where the ice was "heavier," but that’s not what causes the roll. This "tripping up" of flow is kind of a fuzzy process, and it is not likely to occur at the exact same time on both wings. One wing will then probably stall first and the plane will roll toward that side since the wing isn’t lifting anymore.

i was looking at some videos on CNN and a large chunk of them had to do with minor airplane crashes and emergancy landings. are they trying to scare people?
well airplane crashes/malfunctions that are small have always been reported locally, now its all international news

because people want to know what is going on in the world around them. It isn’t to scare them. If they went unreported and somehow the public found out, there would be uproar because people would wonder why it wasn’t reported!

Amazing video I took of a plane landing on top of the world’s shortest runway. On top of a moving motorhome! Featured on King5 NBC Evening Magazine in Seattle. Featured nationally on CNN Headline News.

amazing airplane landing. very close to death. A great camera angle and great save by the pilot.
The pilot, Kyle Davis, 22, and his passenger, Joe Surowiec, were flying from Winter Haven to Lakeland Sunday when they experienced engine failure.

Realizing the engine wouldn’t cooperate, Davis was able to land the homemade plane safely on Havendale Boulevard.
