A two dimensional hydrodynamic study indicates that convectively unstable gradients which develop during core collapse and bounce give rise to large scale core overturn. It is also shown that the concomitant release of neutrini can deposit large amounts of energy and momentum in the infalling envelope and give rise to a powerful supernova explosion.
