They also said that a smaller storm had blocked the radar from seeing the larger storm by that time it was to late.

So, what could the pilot have done to save the plane?

there is a difference between a thunderstorm cell and "weather". You do not fly into thunderstorms, you can fly into "weather".

Pretty sure I know what lightning looks like.
Pretty sure the weather on the tv in the waiting lounge that showed thunderstorms up the entire eastern coast of Australia was correct.
Pretty sure when they said they had to delay the flight by 1.5 hours because of the storm in Melbourne they meant it.
Pretty sure when I'm on the plane and the pilot said a few times "we're entering a thunderstorm, everyone remain seated until the seatbelt light is switched off" means it is a thunderstorm.
Pretty sure when we look out the window and saw flashes of lightning...

Herp derp.

nope, airlines have radar on them for the explicit purpose of avoiding thunderstorms. You did not fly into "several storms". You skirted them, and felt the turbulence rain etc, but you did not fly into a thunderstorm

you know why you had a flight delay? Because you did not fly into a thunderstorm, you waited until it past by.

You can see lightening form hundred of miles in a plane

your seatbelt sigh was on due to turbulence


you did not fly into a thunderstorm.
