"Storm activity caused turbulence on fatal Singapore Airlines flight, claims expert
A ‘terrible miscalculation’ led flight SQ321 to fall, said Richard Woodward"

"Former Australian Air Force and Qantas pilot Richard Woodward has theorised that the crew made a “terrible miscalculation” based on satellite images of the area over Myanmar."

"The aviation expert said that the airspace above Myanmar is an area “notorious for its thunderstorms” and flight SQ321 flew in a straight line directly for a building storm and lightning strikes “without a single deviation from the source”."

"Singapore Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB) of “likely flying over an area of developing convective activity” led to reports that the Boeing 777-300ER encountered atmospheric phenomena Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) – a claim that Mr Woodward disputes.

“It’s very rare to have a clear air turbulence encounter in the tropics,” he told 60 Minutes Australia, adding that there is “compelling evidence” that what flight encountered was not CAT but a thunderstorm."

Boeing 777-300ER

The radar, which is located at the nose of the plane, scans 160 degrees from 0 to 60,000ft to give pilots a complete vertical view of the weather system ahead and across terrain.

How come the radar on SQ321 didn't detected air turbulence or deviated from a direct hit,?
