Heard on Fox that this Raytheon commuter plane is of a similar and related make to that King Air that Wellstone crashed in.

The King Air is to buisness flying as a Ford F150 is to pickups. Even though they are derivitives, they are completely different machines.

I think the media is implying a link that really isn't there. Wellstone also died in what looked like pilot error (struck terrain while on an instrument approach), this looks like a mechanical failure.
