I'm kinda shocked there isn't any forward camera for accountability. Planes are mostly flown by instrument readings so there's not usually a lot to see up there.
Can any weather experts confirm that a cloud can explode in size as quickly as this pilot is describing?  Typically you only see this with time lapse photography or sped up video. >

I've seen clouds grow in unreal looking ways in Florida, like billowing smoke forming a massive stratocumulus in pretty short order. But not in a couple seconds. >

Maybe not upwards anyway >

A rapidly developing thunderstorm sure can climb quickly. >

Don't they have dash cams for commercial aircraft?
