Go Around into a Downburst
Relax737, as has been reported by myself and others, there was a severe thunderstorm west of rwy 24L heavier than any I can recall for several years. I doubt that a go around straight into that thunderstorm would have been successful.
I regret that I did not save the radar images that I observed in the time before the accident as they were quite impressive, especially how fast they were moving. The TSB did announce that they have engaged meteorological specialists to retrieve this data and will likely present it in the report.
There is a valid question about continuing an approach when there's a nasty, big, black cell sitting in the missed approach path which precludes the option for a go around.
