Amazing how every other pilot figured out that flying through it would be a very bad idea.
This is yet another case of what I call aeronautical malpractice.
Addition, Friday, Sept. 6: I received some pushback on this post by a person in Washington, DC, who said there likely wasn't turbulence in this area.
The above is the spectrum width data from the WSR-88D located at Twin Lakes, Oklahoma. Higher values of spectrum width are associated with turbulence (something I have, unfortunately, personally experienced). Orange is moderate to severe turbulence and reds are severe or even extreme turbulence. The plane is flying in a dangerous location.
