A 5500 fpm descent is ridiculously fast. Your link shows that those storms weren’t even close and it was earlier reported that weather wasn’t a factor.

When you catch a severe downdraft during a rapid descent, because you’re NOT HAULING PASSENGERS, BUT CARGO, what do you expect?

It was about 15 minutes before the accident.
WHERE do you think that line of weather moved to during that fifteen minutes?
It was the only radar image I could find that was even close to the accident and it is very revealing into what the Airbus 300 went through.
