God bless the pilots and the passengers.

I've worked an accident before and I feel also for the people on the accident site. Nothing can prepare you for what you see when a jet hits the ground at a high rate of speed and burns for an hour or so. Not much left of anything recognizable for the jet or people.

Without playing monday morning quarterback these guys were most likely very talented and its hard to believe that they intentionally flew into something like this. They could have very easily been going through a light return on radar. Severe storms nearly always have cyclonic rotation in them ie. tornadoes. However, they are usually horizontal not vertical. Tornadoes also exist mainly in the green returns on the storm. As pilots, where are we always cocked and loaded to aim the aircraft when deviating. Hard to tell what they saw but I hope it wasn't just a race the storm situation. Either way, its tragic.
