Hempy,
What you have to remember is the safety systems that were in place in the past have been watered down in the name of affordable safety.The SOC's are gone the FSO's are gone the met observers are gone.All contributing to the overall decision making of the pilot in his day to day operation.If the FSO and the met observer had been in place in YMID the pilots would have had forewarning of the deteriorating WX conditions.
