This is flight CX 289 to Frankfurt !!!

[logtechnology]

notice these guys are the only ones taxiing out? That should tell you all something...they should still be at the gate waiting for this stuff to blow over..its the captains call...and they are pressured alot because airlines dont like to have a bad record of late arrivals...still the weather is crap......guaranteed the heavy stuff may not be directly in the vincinity of the airport, but looks like pretty deep convective activity to me...prob level 3 and 4 stuff...I am sure it was bumpy

Landing would have been even more of a thriller!
