Hindsight is 20/20 I guess, but their dispatchers would have been looking at the same satellite images JonDuke posted, among others. Looks like there were a couple other planes in the area so they weren't the only ones that tried to get through. Too early to definitively say that they shouldn't have been flying, but I tend to agree with you - somebody made a judgement call and it didn't turn out well.
