I think I can see now, a "unique event". No one would believe it could happen. How could it happen? How do all the other airliners fly without this happening? Answers to Wg Cdr Spry please.....
Hmmnn... The released report is disturbing from many aspects. Seems to me that they were seconds away from losing the aircraft. I estimate they must have reached approx 20 degrees of dive in about 10sec to achieve the 15,000'/min descent quoted within the 27sec event. Thank God the co-pilot was not in the loo, or further "down the back".
No mention of actual G or IAS/Mach ?

OAP
