On July 2, 1994, US Air Flight 1016 encountered heavy thunderstorms and microburst induced wind shear while attempting to land and crashed into heavy trees. There were 37 fatalities and 20 injured.
The flight crew failed to recognize wind shear quick enough. There was also a failure of the flight crew to establish proper pitch and engine power that would have brought them out of the wind shear.
With US Air Flight 1016
We can learn a lot from the scene
Landing approach that was not the norm
Struggling through a grave thunderstorm
Outside the windows came pelting rain
Altitude was hard to maintain
Intense thunderstorm was so severe
With microburst induced wind shear
Trapped in the storm, feeling the squeeze
Sudden downdraft pushed into trees
Flight 1016 fell out of the sky
Some would survive but more would die
But there's some lessons we can learn
Serious warnings we should discern
When your life is in a storm immersed
Hidden can be these microbursts
And in our lives we must be aware
Microbursts appear out of nowhere
Disrupting us before we land
Microbursts do not go as planned
Downdraft drafts try to push us down
Striving to crush us into the ground
There's something we can do in this hour
When these occur we must add power
We must pray fervently to gain lift
We cannot allow ourselves to drift
Throughout these downward drafts of life
In these blustering winds of strife
We must keep ourselves up in the air
Adding intensity to our prayers
The enemy seeks to take us out
He targets us with arrows of doubt
But when you observe the lightning flash
Trust in Him who will not let you crash
One day the intense storm will be done
And you will emerge back into the sun
