Despite all the reassurance from pilots etc on this forum regarding the safety of aircraft in bad weather, why are so many 'specialists' so quick to cite weather as a probable cause of two recent crashes? It makes nervous travelers such as myself worry about flying in bad weather!
What probable cause would make you less nervous

as always the real experts do deal in contributing causes, meaning that it takes several things combining together at the same time. Since weather is one of those nasties that show up in the contributing causes from time to time, it's easy for the armchair experts to fixate on that causal factor in their early words.

If you read the posts a little deeper you will get a hint that the pilots among us are also concerend that this airport has a difficult to approach to landing. In spite of these two it would take even more contributions which is what the onward investigation will look for.
