There was a B737 that crashed at Midway airport several years ago----the pilot was a experienced competitor at the World aerobatic championships(or at least National)
Low ceilings, pretty heavy icing conditions---the aircraft got slow in front of him(IFR) on approach and ATC slowed down the 37--The B737 didn't have anti ice on the tail--with the ice build up it affected the stall speed of the a/c and it ended up stalling just short of touchdown and crashing---this was in control of one of the top level pilots in the nation---reluctance to go around.
