So, EVA Air flight BR 189 landed in TSA at 02:12 PM local time (CST) on 27 Sept 2016.

A very strong typhoon was blowing through Taiwan at the time, and there's a video of the landing floating around in Facebook. It showed basically passengers being shaken and screaming.
Being a non-pilot, I tried to look up the landing condition a the time. What I gathered was the flight, an A330, landed on runway 28. The weather condition at the time was wind 36 gust 70 from 070 deg, visibility 600, LIFR.
See:
RCSS Taipei Songshan Airport Weather - Taipei City, Taiwan Refer to weather data for Sep 27 @ 06:12 (UTC).
Given these, would you (a professional pilot) divert? Local news is certainly being unkind on EVA for being the only airline to continue landing flights in northern Taiwan that day.
I fly into Taiwan sometimes. Sometimes on EVA. So this is kind of personally interesting to me...
Thanks!
