Obviously it’s too late to save this flight, but perhaps it would be wise in the future for airline pilots to avoid flying their aircraft into severe thunderstorms.
Well, they do, of course. Why this one was in such a severe storm, we don't know. I think sometimes avoiding a big line of thunderstorms is possibly not as easy or obvious as it sounds. If the weather radar was among the early malfunctions he may have been blind anyway. Dunno.
