Exactly right. No professional pilot in his/her right mind would attempt a takeoff under those conditions. I would assume and hope that flight crew will be looking for another line of work.
Certainly might have been a microburst but no pilot I know (myself included) would have attempted a departure in those conditions. Footage just after shows good conditions. Delayed departure by 5 minutes and likely different outcome.
Why,why for Heavens sake do pilots continuously take of or land in bad weather. Most probably not to arrive late and be"punished"by their superiors. Surely on time records help promotion but they are dangerous. Captain van Zanten rushed his KLM takeoff not be late and the result over 500 passengers killed on a runway in fog when two 747 crashed.
It says right in the title https://www.amazon.com/GOD-MY-PILOT-Scribner-1943/dp/B00BH1ND0U/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0/133-4327369-0831429?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GDWJYZB9B80Q2B5J8HKN
With reported hail and the instability that brings, I agree that would have been a definite NO GO scenario. Glad everyone got out alive and a testament to how well that aircraft is designed to make that a survivable situation. Most likely this will go down a pilot error.
It's ultimately the PIC's decision. The tower can give reported weather conditions but they make the choice. Recall another accident in similar conditions, USAir 1016. Another USAir flight declined takeoff clearance while the accident plane tried to land in the microburst. One good decision, one bad one.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head Joel, and I'm not sure why this is here at a month down the road. The tower personnel have no say in it unless the field is closed to operations due to weather in this case or whatever in others. Fortune smiles on some.
Just asking... Who decides the take off authorization? ATC or pilot? Once in a MXA CYUL-MMMX on Dec 25 1997, 7:00 AM, Santa was deicing the plane, ATC give us clearance, after us a Delta MD, also had clearance... and then airport closed by the next 15 days... :-)
I saw one report that said it went down 10 miles from the airport. That was a pretty new plane, how could they not know weather conditions were so poor that you'd not want to fly in it?
The plane came down 10 km from the airport. It was under control or there would have been many fatalities. Put these together and there must have been a power loss. Water, hail, or other ingestion. Poor decisions were made for sure but all surviving is good news.
Sure...but a microburst is quickly descending air which, when it hits the ground (or an airplane) fans out in all directions! Wgat at first is a hesdwind giving lift quickly becomes a tailwind driving you into the ground!
No deaths have been reported to any of the passengers or crew. The plane was a embraer 190 aircraft. Hope for a safe and fast recovery for all on board.
PIC had a cervical surgery, fortunately, spinal cord was intact, and in the recovery room is reported that sensivity was returning to his legs. Prior to the surgery he reported first to his mom, then he asked for status of his PAX and crew, an if is there any deceased. Then he was moved to the surgery room...

IMHO that is far past poor.
