With so many planes using the same air space as this flight, why has it only happened to this flight? I'm sure that their were flights just before and after this flight in the same airspace and altitude, surely they would have experienced the same weather as this doomed flight!
That being said, I've just read that this particular plane was 21 years old.

Pitot tubes are on everything. But they're the ones that got out as having a history of freezing over. Not AoA sensors.

The frozen pitot tubes were bad enough, but at least then the airplane didn't immediately try to kill you. Heh.

And yet again, only one aircraft was affected by this EMP burst, out of all of them that were flying in the area.
Lack of money and lower profits means corporations have to cut back somewhere, and this will inevitably affect safety and standards.
