BOAC
It may be losing sight of the wood for the trees but to dismiss the aircraft entering turbulent weather as not relevant is rather rash. The fact that the crew of AF447 did not deviate round the weather front is highly significant. The pitot tube failure whilst clearly a contributory factor is not the reason for the accident. The actions of the flight crew in responding to the situation and entering the thunderstorm when others didn't are. I am not assigning any value judgment here just noting an event.
