There are also pilots who just aren't paying attention and flying with the radar off.
pretty standard practice (AIM) is to deviate around severe thunderstorms by 20 miles . Looks like they went right into a severe weather or in the tops. The 330-900 is nearly new and has radar for dummies . Looks like gross negligence to me.
