IIRC, they said it’s monsoon season over there so there’s going to be a lot of wet weather daily. They can’t cancel all flights for weeks until the season is over. I get the feeling these storms blew up fast; that they weren’t as bad when the plane took off. Maybe they thought they could skirt the storms, not realizing how fast the system was moving.
I doubt they would have allowed the plane to take off if they knew how bad the storms were going to be.
I guess Im just used to hearing on TV constantly about flights being canceled. Heard about flights this week being canceled from LA to Boston due to bad weather..don’t know who decides to cancel flights, the airline itself? I heard tonight that there were other planes in the area at the time and they are all fine, its just bad luck..10 planes fly through the same area, no problem..one comes along and ends up crashing into the ocean
