I've heard that planes can get sucked into a thunderstorm if they are within 10 miles of one. Windshear and downdrafts pose a great risk as well.

The training you refer to is simulated. It's impossible to gather significant experience flying a convective atmosphere during training simply because these conditions are not present enough. Train in Florida from spring through fall and you'll have a better chance. What's this 20, 000 hours before they get their own plane stuff? Give us all a break please!

Wind shear and downdrafts do pose a major threat. However, there is no data on any aircraft getting sucked into a storm at anything close to that distance.
