ROME – Because the Delta Airlines flight – from Milan Malpensa to New York on July 24 – took off and headed towards a storm that seemed already brewing?

The question is asked by the meteorologists of a listed Swiss company (Meteomatics, based in St. Gallen) who reconstructed those dramatic moments in their dossier.

The dossier claims that a storm – with lightning and hail – it is already underway west of Malpensa airport when the Delta Airlines Boeing 767 is still stationary.

The frequency of lightning

At that point the Boeing positions itself on Malpensa runway 35R while the frequency of lightning increases and the hailstones reach, according to Meteomatics, “five centimeters in diameter”.
