I'm just repeating what I heard. The aircraft was maxed out on passengers, like crammed in there. They were in a hurry, skirted a storm system too close, flew into a little subsidiary cell, started icing, and the Learjet is apparently quite unforgiving in that set of circumstances especially at full load. Stalled out, oversped, lost the horizontal stabilizer, the end.
