Maybe due to turbulence and cargo shift, maybe not?

Lets for argument sake say they lost a generator or a bus, so that the aircraft was dumped in the hands of PF without any warning!
All it takes is a few seconds of zero or negative G and it becomes critical, THEN depending if they have all displays , You have to be quick and correct in the recovery.
This would also explain why the Transponder stopped working.
Did they loose the transponder?
Where does the transponder get power from on the 767?
On the NG the transponder will work even when you are down to battery power. Is the 767 different?
