Flight problems, not turbulence, found in death of former White House official
The flight that left a former White House official dead earlier this month was marked by a series of missteps, alerts and system issues before the plane lurched violently in the sky, according to a preliminary report Friday from the National Transportation Safety Board.

WA Post is a gutter rag not fit to wrap fish in.
Trim runaway is an emergency procedure practiced in recurrent PC12 training. We used to joke about how that would never happen...
Had it happen in a King Air - pretty exciting LOL!
Well for a reasoned and thoughtful analysis see Blancolirio's post:

It was not turbulence, but appears to be pilot error resulting in a series of abrupt pitch up/down moves, with +4.2 g and -2.3 g accelerations. The pitch up/down could easily snap the neck of someone, even if seatbelt was on. (basal skull fracture like Dale Earnhart)

Should read flight control system related issues contributed to passengers death…
