I think this article and the people who wrote it and edited it are fear mongers.

The article is from Fox News. Their motto is "We're Fox News, Not Some Commie Organization".
Fox news? They all sound the same. But you are right, I realized it right when I hit the button, but they don't have a way of editing your post.
Is that the flight track?

I can see a sudden speed drop ("sudden 600ft climb??") upon crossing about 30,000 ft. The upslope of the Altitude is also steeper at this point!
