Variables my friend, way too much to consider. I was actually discussing that accident with a buddies dad of mine who is an FAA safety inspector. What he thought was interesting was that the vertical fin was composite material. And the 787 is pretty much a huge chunk of carbon fiber, hopefully the boeing engineers have taken that all into account. Either way, it seems a lot of people changed the way they handle turbulence after that accident.
