The ATR crash in '94 at Roselawn, Indiana was an ATR -72.

I'm with Norm on this. The Dash-8 is well known for its ability to handle a lot of ice. In fact, as common as they are and considering where they are most commonly used - in the cold, icing prone northern states - I can't think of one single icing accident that has involved a Dash-8.

My feeling on this one is that there was something else that led to this accident and that icing may have been a non-factor, or that the crew may have simply screwed this up all by themselves.

This is a Dash-8 Q400:
