(Unusually) I am not certain that this has not been posted here earlier.
Vertical acceleration analysis I guess from the flightradar24 (or similar) data. Done a few days ago (27 Feb 2019) by Peter Lemme, satcom.guru. More than -1.5g. Quite a lot more seems likely. Presumably done by differentiating the altitude twice. Interesting discussion on Peter's page.
