This a/c is equipped with Wind Shear Detection system... Was it on Deferral, or the the crew just blew it... All pilots are trained on Wind Shear Awareness and how to handle it...
RIP to those who lost their lives and prayers out to the surviving families.

Well, if it wasn't showing and just hit them out of the blue, just bad luck and their time. RIP
How sad, about to land and getting pushed by a sudden gust of stormy wind !

Bodies Recovered From Lao Airlines Crash
Rescuers in small fishing boats and inflatable rafts were combing through the murky waters of Mekong River on Thursday after the Lao Airlines Crash. Officials fear the worst and have ruled out the possibility of finding survivors, killing all 49 people from 11 countries.
“Eight bodies have been found”, some as far as 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the crash site according to Yakao Lopangkao director-general of Lao’s Department of Civil Aviation. The plane however, hasn’t been found as it is assumed to be underwater. ”We’re trying to use divers to locate it.” Thailand, which boarders Laos, sent as many as 30 divers to help with the search.

Maybe.
Once they actually find the wreckage and remove the black boxes, we'll have a more definite info and can determine a causal chain.
