A full investigation is still onging. A Microburst or Windhear phenomenon looks more & more as the possible cause of the Lion Air Crash.

This phenomenon of turbulent winds is common in equatorial Southeast Asia. A Lion Air pilot of a new Boeing 737 passenger jet that crashed off Bali only last month told investigators how his plane was "dragged down" by wind into the sea just short of the runway. Remarkably, no-one died.

"There are quite violent thunderstorms that are huge. You can easily exceed the capability of the airplane in severe wind shear," said Richard Woodward, a Qantas captain who flies A380s.

The Lion Air budget carrier that crashed last month was caught in an unexpected downdraft in a rain cloud even as the airport reported clear weather, said a source who was briefed on the investigations, declining to be identified because the findings are not yet public.
