Thunderstorm in the vicinity, airplane in 3 pieces and at least one killed.
First 737-700 hull loss ,I believe.

Wasn't Kenyan 737 the first 700 loss?
Re: Aires 737-700 crashes on landing in San Andres
Kenyan (YL301) was a -800.
I see a total of seven -800s and one -600 out of service in the records.

I suspect its at the pilots' discretion, but what guidelines/rules apply to the decision to go around or not after a windshear alert on finals?

It all depends on the pilot, situation, altitude, spool up time, fuel situtation, ect... There are always W/S alert in Hong Kong for lateral W/S.
Every one of these passengers are very lucky they were on a BOEING instead of an airplane that would have cracked open like a cheap composite crackerbox.

You suspect correctly with respect to a windshear alert. A windshear warning, however, is a mandatory go-around.I suspect its at the pilots' discretion, but what guidelines/rules apply to the decision to go around or not after a windshear alert on finals?

You sure weren't going to pick up much speed on that emergency slide. Looks like something from a kid's birthday party.

Re: Aires 737-700 crashes on landing in San Andres
A lot of newspapers (in Spanish) are saying that the airplane was hit by lightning, and that this was the problem. Also, they say that the lightning broke the airplane in 2 parts.
What is the posibility of this happening? I just don't buy the idea.

Can lightning brake an aircraft in 2 parts?
If I have to put money on this, I would bet for the microburst.

Re: Aires 737-700 crashes on landing in San Andres
That is a warning. When the PFD flashes Windshear in amber with Bitchin' Betty (in our case Bitchin' Bob) staying quiet, that is an alert (or in our case caution).so when bitchin' betty announciates "windshear! windshear!" is that an alert or warning?
thanks!

not reasonableand that this was the problem
Preposterous.. Also, they say that the lightning broke the airplane in 2 parts.
NilWhat is the posibility of this happening?
Good, because it's about as valuable as a pet rock.I just don't buy the idea.
No. It can't break it, either.Can lightning brake an aircraft in 2 parts?
That's a better investment than the pet rock, anyway.If I have to put money on this, I would bet for the microburst.
