The tiger just happened to bite them.
QUESTION: I wonder if the dudes that landed successfully & well beyond their own aircraft tailwind limitations right before this accident, might be hearing from the FAA.
Careless & reckless?
I spoke today with several of the line guys. The long timers said they had never seen such winds here before. They said the arrivals prior to the accident aircraft were really dicey as well.
