the Caravan pilot had a much bigger problem on her hands.

I'm not convinced anything at all happened, except she got disoriented
trying to make sense of her failed instruments, and then "recovered" from
stable, level flight into a diving, screaming series of over reactions and
recoveries. (Ask me how I know. And then tell me how is it you were spared
