According to our news guy if there was a lot of standing water hydroplaning could be a factor. The pilot did tell the passengers it was going to be a bumpy ride just before landing.
I guess I should be careful, but this has some real parallels to Little Rock and Toronto. I can’t help thinking the pilot had a bad case of get-there-itis. Even if the aircrew wasn’t adequately warned about weather in the area due to ground weather equipment not being good, it’s hard to understand him making the final go-ahead to land when he got there. We’ll find out, I’m probably being too much of a Monday morning quarterback here.
