Leave the debate to Mach E and Horatio. (Funny bastards to boot- oh you "supercilious ass" !) It is a fact that these two know what they are talking about (unlike the troll who should not be airing his ignorance here at all). Because I flew commercially for 30 years out of Hobart and Cambridge I too know, first hand, how severe the denture dislodging turbulence can be. (How about a cabin fire extinguisher - in a Heron - dislodged from it's parcel shelf attachment bracket, to then bounce about the cabin as the two drivers are holding onto the base of their seats with white knuckles with one hand , while the other is gripping the controls praying to get on the ground with some semblance of control?) Yes, my son - if you have not been there , then with all due respect , you know SFA about it.

Surely the ATSB can tell us, even now, whether it was a structural failure or a CFIT?
