This is ONLY a door seal, which wasn't 100% tight. Talking max a few millimetres (not cm). Putting some wet blankets is an old technique which normally works fine.

Re: Light aircraft crash at Charleroi, 5 casualties

Do you really think any skilled pilot would leave with ice on the wings before departure?
This guy was not a newbee.
