Just before crash time TCU only left very small gaps in the Segnas Pass area
Sat pic 1445 UTC, other times via menu
And just north of the pass, they already were at CB stage five minutes later
Radar crash time
To them, this must have looked like a closed curtain assuming there is no radar in front?
The main activity was north of the pass, I don't know what happens when you see close to the ridge that you have to choose which TCU or CB you want to fly into?
