sciam.com— Continental Express flight 3407 crashed into a home outside of Buffalo, possibly due to ice build-up on the plane's wings or tail.

Because it changes the shape of the wing significantly enough. The first few inches of the wings leading edge are responsible for most of the lift. It is also the most critical shape and where most of the ice is likely to accumulate.
on the other hand, they talked about significant icing that night, while even in severe icing condition, aircrafts such as 757, 767, 777 etc wouldn't accumulate ice that would change shape of the wings and reduce lift.

Maybe faster, but defiantly not roomier and safer.Most would take a Dash-8-200 over the SAAB 340A or B or B+ anyday.

the first sentence was okay. But your post started to dive deep into mnpilot's butthole from the second sentence!
