Default Heathrow report

At 1250 (the accident was at 1242)

EGLL 171250Z 20013KT 9999 BKN008 10/08 Q0996 BECMG 24018G28KT SCT012
BKN020

so clearly the weather wasn't a factor.

Are there precise met circumstances where you do and don't get wind shear or
CAT ? I wonder if it was due to vortex shedding by previous craft like that
USA crash 5 years or so ago, packing them in too close.
