Except Nash Roberts. Pretty much immediately, he said, you know, there’s this thing that we don’t really know a lot about. It’s called a microburst.. And it takes a very unique set of circumstances to occur and doesn’t last long, but this looks like it could be it.
Dr. Leigh Orf has a good talk/presentation on microbursts where he covers a good bit of Dr. Ted Fujita's research on them. It is a good talk if anyone is interested and goes into a bit of detail about how they impacted flights before Fujita discovered and named them. The first half is background and a bit of historical synopsis. The second half pertains to the impacts on modern structures and wind engineering.
