Wake Turbulence Discounted

Ha ha ha. It is an inconvenient fact that he brushes away as a coincidence Wake turbulence is likely an irrelevant fact. This article is the most plausible explanation I have seen. Having flown for many years I just don't buy the WT explanation. Planes fly through WT every day. For a little plane flying through WT from a big plane, it can be a problem (rapid rolling motion). But for planes of similar size, it is no big deal.
