Google for that discussion, but in short, the rudder was used rapidly

No Jim, I actually know that report, and the statements of both the
airline and Airbus too. The surprise is in knowing that such action,
which I think is natural, isn't automatically built into in the design
of an aircraft. Why do you think that's so? Aren't such boat-turns
normal? Should be, isn't it?
