EDIT: News reports have corrected 1 survivor 3 fatal, now reads 2 persons are reported in hospital, and 2 fatal. Sad, but good news.

From memory I think St O has just an NDB approach, I wonder if that had something to do with it. Commercial flights go to Bagotville (CYBG), the military base.

Apparently bad weather was a factor - icing perhaps?
