LOOK at the clouds in that vid Sci, look for the roll cloud and
count the flashes. Also count the number of observable TS
cells. Which way are they moving? Approaching the airport or
moving away or sideways?

A dissipating bunch of cells can have 800M just as building
cells do. Same with very heavy showers.

I couldn't see what the tilt was (thanks), which explains why
the FO's radar display was so completely different to direct
observation. A mate of mine once told me "One look outside
is worth a thousand radar returns."

There's just so much information missing from that vid that I
never said the crew were right or wrong. They may have org-
anised a 180* missed app or they might not.

Anyway that's all I'll say. I've posted far too much above my
normal amount for a TL thread already.

PS - ditto what the poster above just said.
