    Miracle in Mexico, 101 people walk away from plane crash

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Sounds like one of the times when a delayed takeoff would have been a really good idea!

    Possibly a microburst? Hindsight is a good thing....

    Yes, hindsight, but from reports I've seen the weather was really dodgy. I suspect you are right about the microburst. These usually cause issues during landing rather than takeoff, so it may have been unexpectedly severe.

    (But also reported is a high rate of accidents in Mexico, suggesting perhaps a rather cavalier approach to safety.)
