incident....not accident

Must have been a terrifying experience. Probably worse than getting caught in a storm which one can fly around.A reminder to all, that keeping seat belts on during the flight may be uncomfortable but worth it.For a craft the size of a B777 it must have been a whopping G force. Glad it passed of as an incident.
Glad every body was ok.
Kinda one of the signatures of CAT, hard to see it comin.
