I am more than happy to give the benefit of the doubt when airlines or airline emloyees make harmless or honest mistakes. That being said, the flew into A FRICKIN HAIL SHAFT. These weather formations take at least a minute or two to form. Apparently the radar didn't work prior to the airplane encountering hail. Otherwise, they wouldn't have flown any where near A FRICKING HAIL SHAFT.
