  "Dutch Roll is a coupled out of phase movement of the aircraft as result of weakened directional stability (provided by the vertical tail and rudder), in which the aircraft oscillates around its vertical as well as longitudinal axis (coupled yaw and roll)."
That sounds pretty scary. I wonder why it wasn't bigger news when it happened last month?
