Recently I was in a 737 about 20 minutes from landing when the plane rolled about 30 degrees to the left in half a second. The plane quickly (3 secs) corrected and then 10 seconds after that rolled to the right. Same deal. Yelps, screams and calls to deity filled the cabin.
I've taken literally hundreds of flights and have never experienced that. I guessed wake turbulence but what do I know? No announcement was made.
Upon landing I asked the captain and he confirmed it was wake turbulence. I asked him who put the aircraft too close together and he told me the planes were spaced appropriately.
Can any of you aviation buffs tell me if the captain was being honest regarding the proximity of the planes?
