From what I gathered, said bad weather was extremely localized. Someone who had just arrived at the location (by car) around the time of the accident noted that the sky was clear just a few miles away.
- cjbprime 7y agoThat doesn't sound right -- I mean, it might be true that there was a clear spot nearby, but it's not a good summary of the weather that morning. It was a blanket coastal fog that grounded the LAPD choppers and canceled many flights. I live in San Diego, 120 miles away, and it was pure white fog outside my bedroom window when I woke up too. It was not in any sense a fair weather morning for flying.
