To: The Magical Mischief Tour
Can't watch it at work. But I can tell you that in spirited street driving you regularly achieve .3 - .5 Gs.
If what you reported is true (sorry) then this is pure poppycock. I don't know what the A300 is rated to, but I bet it is easily +5 and -3 G's.
Hogwash and balderdash (to be polite)

Someone want to notify the press? I sure do!

You were discussing this crash with some others who seemed pretty knowledgeable about aircraft on another thread today. Can you ping them? I don't know the names.

I don't know what the A300 is rated to, but I bet it is easily +5 and -3 G's. Probably something like that, but that would be in the longitudnal plane, ie "up and down" in the aircraft's own axes. Lateral rating is probably somewhat less I would think, since one doesn't normal skid to turn, although it can be done.
