Let's face it when continuing a flight with no weather radar to Lagos through the ITCZ and then destroying both windshields is considered risk medium by flight safety................

I would be more concerned as to why a crew would, knowingly, fly through the ITCZ to an airport located in an area that is known for massive CB activity with a weather radar that was inop?

One would have to ask the question whether the decision made to proceed was based on the pilots fears of a reprecussions from management for returning to base with what they would perceive as simply a broken weather radar OR did the pilot think that the best option, taking safety into consideration, was to press on and fly to Lagos without a weather radar during peak CB activity season?

Either way............
