Perhaps journo/drivel, but very early on, an "AF" person was quoted as "saying" that as well as lightning reports, they had received a comm from 447 that the Pilot had reported "Turbulences Forte".
This came in staccato fashion, as the Press was white hot, and reporting a blizzard of "Information".
Then again, it may have been "real", as the Public Face of AF was grasping for ways to immediately blame anything but themselves or the Bus. Gourgeon is in there somewhere.
Perhaps the time is right to introduce one of my new words. In honor of the French........ "Jourdrivelle"
