Investigators probing a deadly plane crash in Florida say ice was almost certainly a contributing factor in the accident. Experts note that ice buildup can alter the shape of a wing, throwing off a plane's aerodynamics and making it difficult to control.
The crash killed nine people aboard a Learjet that went down in a South Florida neighborhood.
