Landing in a TS

Hi folks,

First post here for some time. As someone not experienced with WX radar, all I know is that landing into a TS is not something done without good reason. There here exists a video on youtube that shows a crew landing into what appears to be an active cell. My first thoughts were - what happens if they need to go around? Flying right into a cell is surely something to be avoided at all costs? Well that's what I was taught and indeed always teach my student pilots of albeit lighter aircraft.

What exactly are the criteria with regards WX radar interpretation and landing in such circumstances? Is the WX radar perhaps telling them something that I am missing?


Many thanks.
