## Where it stands

**Disputed** None pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The ridge geometry and wind speed produce a vortex street at infrasound frequencies capable of physiological effect.
- Infrasound at such levels produces panic in healthy adults.

## What would rule it out

- Acoustic modelling showing no such effect at plausible wind speeds, or the injuries being shown to predate the flight.
