Sadly, there are reports of at least 3 dead.  Plane took off from Teterboro at 9:50am and scheduled to land near Atlanta.  

I tried searching the Teterboro feed, but I just get silence in the archives.  I also can't seem to find the NY center feed.  MMU did not have any contact (that I heard) even though the plane crashed right near the airport.

N731CA, search the 14:30Z archives starting around 14:50Z ....

Once handed off to New York Departure on 120.850 most of the transmissions are blocked out by the other frequency, the last call from the aircraft picked up on the archive was a report that they were "just entering the IMC now". Reports of "moderate", "severe" and even "extreme" icing were being reported in the area.

Thanks, guys.  Very tragic accident.

Every accident is tragic.  When families are along for the ride it hits home even more, especially for those of us who fly.

This is an old AD that was published for the TBM-700 regarding flying in certain types of extreme icing:

It would be interesting to learn whether a standard weather briefing would have advised the pilot of known icing or if there were any PIREPs.

However you cut it, my heart goes out to the family and friends of the deceased.
