Sudden wind shear problems while landing I understand.

"Turbulence" in the case of the link below is where my complaint is. Now, if some one knows better then me (specially if they are in the industry and knowledgeable) by all means batter in with sarcasm, wit, and what ever else is needed to reassure the public that I am just some armchair nutball who knows nothing. To be honest I could stand that kind of humor.

btw. I do understand rare events. If you have one million take offs and landings, you should not be surprised to see a one in a million type problem occurring.

Despite a lack of hard physical evidence, the NTSB said last week that
uncommanded rudder movement was the probable cause for the fatal crashes
of United Flight 585 in 1991 and USAir Flight 427 in 1994. According to
its findings, an extremely rare malfunction in a hydraulic valve could
cause the rudder to move in a direction opposite that commanded by the
pilot. The board recommended that all existing and future 737s have a
"reliably redundant" system
