This report is a nasty reminder of how unforgiving our hobby can be when decisions are made.
That is true, in the sense that if you hit the ground in a plane, the results are not going to be good, but at the same time it is no rocket science to take one look at the MSLP chart, see the isobars very close together ( = strong winds), and to thus expect strong turbulence which that type of plane is poorly equipped for, in terms of both excess engine power and structural strength.
