No, wind shear exists. And +/-30 meter changes are well within the realms of wind shear drafts.

- zettabomb 3y agoNever said it didn't. I'm saying that based on the description, the degree of disturbance is far outside of the realm of what I would consider common. This is regardless of cause.
- fransje26 3y agoAh, I see where the misunderstanding came from. In my "this reads like a fairly classic inflight turbulence encounter" "classic" was not meant to say it was something necessarily common, but something that is well understood happens, with a high enough probability of being encountered in the lifetime of an airframe. Case-in-point being the Emirates flight from December, with similar ceiling damage, and similar passengers/crew injuries.
