True. Noticed some interesting data on flight aware that sort of backs up the claim. Wasn't sure if anyone heard what might have happened.

"I was afraid we were going to crash! We told each other that we loved each other!"
This does not necessarily mean the airplane almost crashed. In fact, it doesn't even mean there was a possibility of crashing.

Information compiled from online sources show that the aircraft passed near a Boeing 757 before Issues began. The 757 due to design defects is known to have particularly nasty wake vortices. Experts say it's quite possible the Boeing vortices might have confused the flight control computers on the Airbus causing them to fail. The US senate has already announced a congressional investigation on the 757. Senator Ted Cruz announced the committee will follow all leads no matter which way they twist and turn us. He further added that the requirement for US senators to go through security prior to flying might be a contributing factor they will throughly investigate.
