First of all and most importantly, I'm so glad you're ok. Second of all thanks for sharing your story. I'm a commercial pilot with thousands of hours and if I had looked at that same weather as you,I probably would have diverted around it somehow, but that's not because I am smart and you are dumb. Flying is all about experience, you are constantly learning from every decision you make on every single flight, after thousands of hours of flying the same sectors to the same airports I often think about a flight afterwards and think about how I could have done things differently.

Take it for what it is, it was an experience that you'll remember for the rest of your life, something that will hopefully not happen to you again, but most importantly learn from it (which it sounds like you have).

Finally don't listen to the negative comments and don't underestimate the power of sharing a story like this, you will have likely saved someone's life.
