Strangely they diverted to another airport far away without trying to land again in La Serena, why? There is something missing...
That's something I was thinking too, well, they could have also needed to inspect the landing area for debris... Or it was the cloud cover closing in? Or simply the pilot considered the low sun as too risky? Any other reason not to try again? And then maybe some would hate me for asking, but how long does it take to fly the distance? And how long do the CVR and DFR in an old 737-200 record before overwriting?
