The turbulence analogy is the closest "similar event" available. And the reason it's pertinent is no one complained. The average passenger, and the typical airline pilot can't tell the difference between 1.5 or 2 Gs, or 2 to 3. I flew a plane for years that had two G meters in it, and I would routinely pull first, then look at the meter to see where I was as compared to where I wanted to be. Doing it on a regular basis I could not tell the difference between 1.5 to 2, or 2 to 3. And I had a digital readout to help. If someone who does acro type maneuvers in a plane on a regular basis can't tell, then I'm pretty sure most everyone else is in the same boat.
The amount of excitement over how many Gs were pulled is out of proportion to the fact that they found themselves in an Undesirable Aircraft State.
There are a few folks on here that are missing the point entirely.

I have no doubt there were people on board afraid for their lives. You could take a half full 737 that went through anything worse than light chop & find a handful of people that legitimately thought they were going down. Having said that, we can’t really know what the pax were experiencing. If an upset in zero viz & heavy turbulence is disorienting for pilots in the cockpit, imagine what it’s like sitting in the back.
