AUG-02-85  Psbl scattered thunderstorms (tstms) were forcast & drg arrival, svrl cells were developing in the area. Delta flt 191 was vectored arnd a large cell, then was sequenced bhnd other acft & clrd for an ils rwy 17l apch. The flt crew & svrl preceeding crews saw lightning in a cell north of the arpt, but contd w/o rprtg it. On the apch, flt 191 encountered a microburst while passing under the cell. Initially, the 1st officer, who was flying the acft, retarded the throttles in a headwind. The acft then encountered aprx 73 kts of windshear, up/dwndfts, vortex flow & a tailwind. Go-around pwr was applied, but the acft struck the gnd aprx 6300' north of rwy 17l, hit a car & 2 water tanks, broke apart & burned.

Inv revealed that btn 1752 & 1800 cdt, the tstm cell grew fm vip lvl 1 to vip lvl 4. A center wx svc unit meteorologist was on duty, but not at the radar psn at that time & didn't obsv the cell growth. Capt's decision to cont apch didn't comply with delta's wx avoidance proc; there was a lack of specific guidance & training for avoiding escaping low Alt wndshear. Probable cause: flight into known adverse weather, pilot in command procedure inadequate..company/operator management inadequate training emergency procedure(s)) company/operator management.
