Sounds kinda fishy. Maybe an urban myth or something??

Sounds very fishy. Even if you do bump the yoke and it disengages the autopilot, what keeps the FO from regaining control? Sounds like an Indian "Northwest Airlines missed MSP" to me...

ive never heard of bumping the controls and sending a jetliner into a 7000 foot dive at 26 degrees. There's more to this than what is being told. The pilot wasnt in the cockpit....i think he was and them jokers was sleep....somebody drooled, the controls got bumped and pushed the plane from his cruise alt. 7000ft later after having the cabin door bashed on and ATC curse'in them out, they woke up and leveled off.
And what's really fishy is......the story is about a 737 and THEY SHOW A PIC OF AN AIRBUS A310!!!!
