Fair enough deci...but a more suitable alternate or return to origin station should have been planned for considering the severity of reported weather.In any case they could have gone around and and tried another approach, by which time the wind gusts might have softened? ...Unless fuel carriage was below that required to allow such contingencies?? The winds were encroaching aircraft limitations!!
