The same can’t be said about he decision to overfly a hurricane (you’re not there yet) and your options are greatly reduced if things go downhill while over it.
As they say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” -or in this case danger. Also, if things were to go wrong, how is this any different than any other thunderstorm or significant weather event that pilots navigate through on a Dailey basis? The answer is, it isn’t. To an untrained eye you could pull up at least 5 screenshots on any given day where You can see an airline doing something exceedingly dangerous, but in all reality they are perfectly safe. Either you lack aviation knowledge or you are trying to make something out of nothing. I’m willing to bet both. This “event” has no basis for dialog beyond a normal everyday flight. But feel free to over exaggerate anything and everything that comes from social media, it seems to be the popular thing to do these days.
