Not to be Debbie Downer, but..wasn't the 2001 AA crash out of JFK determined to be due to pilot error (excessive rudder movement) and structural failure, overreacting to wake turbulence?

Preliminary AF data seems to indicate icing of the pitot tubes, causing the pilots to not know their actual airspeed. Reports I've read say the plane was intact at impact.

I have found that turning my head 90 degrees helps alleviate the sensations of turbulence and associated motion sickness. My theory is the our bodies are used to g forces in the fore/aft and up/down directions based on walking, driving, etc. but the side to side motions from turbulence are not normal. Turning my head to the side (and thus, the motion sensors in the ears), the side-to-side is turned to fore/aft, and turbulence rarely causes changes in the speed of the aircraft (now side-to-side).

Or it's just psychological. But it works for me.
