why cant it be a microburst? why does it have to be a very complex chain of events starting when the mother gave birth to the captain?

for those who are current on B732, when you are about 4NM from touchdown, that puts you just over 1300feet AGL, and you are hit by a strong microburst, is that 600 to 700 feet enough to recover?

ps its been confirmed by crews on the radio at the time that there was no mayday, loss of control or fire or any non routine radio call made by the bhoja crew. last call heard was the pilots confirming landing clearance.
