Danger underestimate weather

Balmy,

I have an idea you know Africa but sounds like you underestimate the weather up in that part of Africa.....the sort of weather between Disdo the 11 nm ILS reporting point for rwy 30 and the runway itself will swallow a B737 and spit it out in kit form, so the chances of disorientation in severe turbulence can not be ruled out....

Sounds like they took off in severe thunderstorms and downpour.....loosing control of that size aircraft so close to the ground was fatal, not enough height to recover.

Anyhow it was a sad day for aviation and family of those who lost their loved ones, hope they will find what went wrong on that night
