[quote=Icarus]Can any one figure out why this aircraft ended up in this position and situation that accelerated the spiraling chain of events. Looking back at the satellite weather conditions in the area, I don't think any pilot in his right mind would plow along on the track the aircraft followed into disaster.
Do you know the flight path "the aircraft followed" for a fact?
Why was the captain at rest, if he and the crew had done a thorough flight briefing and known that their track would take them through bad weather at a specific time window on this flight ?
Do you know he was?
How can two radars miss the weather if they were used properly unless the selector switch was turned to off at some stage !
Do you know they did 'miss' it?[/quote]
I have no issue with the rest of your post.
