Logan is not moving anything until 5:15pm...

Check out all the planes in a holding pattern.

Was just going to post that as well. Wonder if any planes went into it while landing. There have been many terrible large casualty accidents with planes landing and encountering microburst's.

Though I think now they must have some sophisticated technology to avoid it. Like onboard radar or something.

The TDWR program started after a downburst took down a plane at DFW airport 8/2/85 killing 125 people.  The narrow beam they have was chosen to sense localized azimuthal shear.  But the planes themselves do not have on board weather radar.

Would be nice to have a TDWR (or similar) at BDL.
