Part 4/8:

As they descended towards Bangkok, the visible rain and the potential for wind shear raised caution flags. The first officer struggled with maintaining speed, unable to reduce it to the necessary limit. Meanwhile, the second officer overheard communication regarding heavy rain at the airport but failed to inform the others, causing critical information to slip through the cracks.

Catastrophe at Touchdown

Upon nearing the runway, the aircraft entered heavy rain, severely reducing visibility. The first officer found it increasingly challenging to control the descent speed and followed through on an incorrect decision. He attempted to execute a go-around, but just as the aircraft touched the runway slick from heavy rainfall, instinctual mistakes compounded the crew’s confusion.
