How the heck could they miss the terrain the the south (I assume it was a R15 departure)??
ATC or no ATC they must’ve had the most basic departure charts in which every one of them says to turn hard left without delay at the runway end to avoid the high terrain to the south east??
Even an unfamiliar crew couldn’t have missed that.
