I saw the NTSB gal Marion Blakely say the same thing this morning, interviewed on FNC.
But I wonder......

Me too.
I saw her on "Oprah" today (Oprah had Mary Schiavo as her in-studio guest).
Blakely (the Southern-accented lady, right?) was talking about how the Japanese 747
was fully loaded with fuel and passenger...AND...(sorry I can't remember her exact words)
but she seemed to be making the case that this fully-burdened 747 would
create the maximal amount of turbulence (I guess as oppossed to an unloaded 747 running
on fumes).

I hope I didn't mis-understand the lady, but as I'm not an aeronautical engineer,
I'm loath to push me suspicion that the amount of passengers/luggage/fuel aboard has
anything to do with the turbulence a plane creates.

Any lurkers have an opinion...even if you blow my suspicion out of the water...
