Saturn -it would help if you would lay your cards on the table with all this back and forth stuff - most indications we have so far.are that we have NO evidemce that the crew penetrated an active CB, either from a 'separated' armchair or anywhere. You obviously believe they did. Why not state so and declare your evidence please?
I think 'turbulence forte' was discussed extensively on thread 1. I believe it was said to be a non-'standard' grading and thus thought to be subjective. I also think the report was sent well before the LOC. Had it been 'severe' (in your words) the a/c would most probably have been forced to turn back or descend to avoid LOC at that point and/or structural damage and injury to crew and pax. Even your quote from your 'armchair expert' did not consider the weather conditions there to be exceptionally bad.
So - let's hear your facts?
