My thoughts and prayers go out to their famalies. We saw that weather pass by us this morning in MSN, it sure looked nasty and left quite a few bumps. Fly safe everyone.

ATC recording of the incident

The windshear reports were at another airport nearby at the end of the report. They were landing on rwy 31. Looks like a late go around attempt hearing other sites. Sad event.
