Hello a,
I did say my 18 was modified! And the A.F. A330 was only at 35,000 feet
when it encountered supercooled pure water which froze immediately upon
contact with the plane's 3 pitot tubes, causing the flight control
systems to be deprived of the most essential data input: air speed.
This caused them to shut down and started the sequence of catastrophic
events that led to its demise. Supercooled pure water is not fully
understood but it can be liquid at very low temperatures until it
encounters minerals.
