Overhead airport runway approach zone from 8 pm till midnight. Severe hydroplaning more than half inch standing water wind shear wind 130/37 kts . Runway is 12000 feet long I’m sure autospoilers did not deploy anti skid could not work . Poor CRM CAPTAIN COPILOT . THE FAR AIM BOOK STATES DO NOT LAND IN THUNDERSTORM . HOLD DIVERT PERIOD . THIS B747400 could not STOP ended off the END OF RUNWAY PERIOD . FROM, B747400/757/777/L1011 Pilot 25 years worldwide Palermo, Sicily. Read the 10 commandments in the FAR AIM CONCERNING THUNDERSTORM FLYING RULES

SUPERB POST WITH CERTAIN AUTHORITY OF EXPERIENCE AND THE FAR AIM. YES!!!!!!!
