If you search for "Ricardo Cirielli twitter" you can access his twitter account and see the pictures. The nose of the A330 is shredded.
Most all that's in the story if folks would just take time to read it before they start asking questions. Last I remember, that is why they are posted.I knew about the nose cone without having to go into the twitter account because I read the story.
But no pictures of the nose cone in the story. Pictures add to the story.
Many years ago a DC-9 ran into large hail over Georgia and lost both engines. The plane was at an altitude that would have allowed it to make Dobbins AFB without power but it unexplainedly executed a 360 degree turn which used up so much altitude it had to put down on a highway in a small town resulting in multiple fatalities.
Weren´t the pilots briefed before departing or say two hours before landing about this ominous weather so they could consider landing at an alternate airport to wait it out. Beviating right or left for 30-50 miles or whatever and then resume is not an option in this particular route because the 330s land at Buenos Aires with just the bare legal mínimum fuel in normal conditions.
Isn't that scenario called painting yourself into a corner??
Absolutely
