@ glendalegoon...
"I would like to know if it was a loss of 5 to 20 knots of IAS or a GAIN of 5 to 20 knots. Later on during the go around a pilot indicates a loss of 33 knots."
On the ATC audio tape, pilots of various aircrafts were heard telling the tower they had "Windshear" of different strength while on the approach... One of them clearly stated to the tower that they had a -10kts to +20kts Windshear on their approach.
Now the doomed aircraft's pilots stated to ATC they were making a missed approach due to 33 kts "tailwind", no mention of "windshear".
