Nicely put, Punchus
We all hope for the best, but fear the worst.

Losses due to mechanical failure/weather are accidents, poor maintenance or pressure to fly come what may is negligence, true accidents rarely happen!

Without pax or freight there would be no civil aviation industry. Airlines should have a duty of care to their employees and customers if they want to remain in business.

This forum is Rumours & news. Speculation is unavoidable and often ill-informed ('drunken' pilots) but can lead to changes in attitude, months before the final accident report is published. Accident investigations start with a theory/opinion which is then tested by facts & evidence. Even then the conclusion could be wrong (pilot error)

Severe weather on departure appears to be the main cause in this case,
the question is was take-off justified in the prevailing Wx conditions?
