Not even 1000 fpm. Aside from the initial pitch down, its hardly anything. But how many pax weren't wearing their seatbelts? If they were in their seats, serves them right imho - you'll get 600fpm drop with some mod/heavy chop.

Apparently he was trying to avoid Venus!!!

Given the apparent push in order to injure passengers (had to be negative g), the rate of descent wasn't much???

Best regards,
Vulcan.
