Reading the story says "there were thunderstorms", and it says they took
off
"during a storm". It doesn't say they took off during a thunderstorm.

It crashed 90 miles from the airport. That doesn't sound like a problem
during takeoff to me.

That initial claim was apperently due to some mixed up satellite signal. The
plane actually crashed only 12 miles away. Engine failures or lightning are
certainly possibilities. And I'm surprised that a terrorist bomb hasn't been
mentioned...so far, since witnesses claimed hearing an explosion.
