    Wow, that's some substantial damage. I wonder how much hail the engines ingested, and if they'll need fixing, too.

    Why did they have the plane flying in pattern waiting to land? I figured they would have declared an emergency? Did they have to burn fuel?

    I'd say that was almost certainly the case. I highly doubt they said "let's just keep going straight ahead through this big nasty cell-- don't worry, it will be fine."

    I wonder what that sounded like in the cockpit.

    Judging from the map, I'm surprised that they didn't divert to Albuquerque...

    when the glass breaks....loud

    "Not a lot of forward visibility" is an understatement from that pilot

    I had an outer pane break in a 727 because of this. When it caves into the inner pane it gets your attention. It feels like that inner pane is all that's protecting you from a shotgun blast to the face

    Looks like ABQ is on the other side of the cell, ELP is not.... from that display...
