From the ASN:

24 JUN 1975

Type:Boeing 727-225 Operator:Eastern Air Lines Registration: N8845E
PROBABLE CAUSE: "... However, the adverse winds might have been too severe for a successful approach and landing even had they relied upon and responded rapidly to the indications of the flight instruments. Contributing to the accident was the continued use of runway 22L when it should have become evident to both air traffic control personnel and the flight crew that a severe weather hazard existed along the approach path."

Greetings,

Nic
