My prediction is definitely pilot error. The only other possibility is equipment failure, which will be determined via black box or Tower/TRACON audio tape transcripts.

Although I'm also predicting pilot error, everybody should keep in mind that airplane crashes are usually due to a whole bunch of things going wrong at the same time and not due to just one simple cause.

It might turn out that this crash was due to icing, plus a downdraft, plus the pilot flying a little to low, plus bad judgment for attempting an approach in poor visibility, etc, etc, etc...
