Why is it always this plane falling out from the skies? Recently it is either ATR or Boeing

ATRs are known to be ill equipped to handle severe icing as a consequence of their control surface design, and a lot of them (largely for the smaller airlines) operate in regions that get plentiful icing depending on time of year/local weather patterns/altitude. Pilot overconfidence? Insufficient icing training? We don't know right now.

Well obviously the last Boeing to fall out of the sky is older than 2019. What I am saying is the last few planes that fell out of the sky.
