Air India flight lost control during 300-foot plunge, report says

Air India flight lost control during 300-foot plunge, report says

An airplane flying from Phuket to Delhi suddenly dropped very fast in the sky.

The drop was about 300 feet, which is almost as tall as a big building.

Some people on the plane got hurt, and a few had to go to the hospital.

The plane did not crash, and everyone arrived safely.

Air India said nobody had very serious injuries.

A report says the plane briefly lost control of some important systems.

The plane has parts called hydraulic systems, and all three of them had problems at the same time.

That is very unusual and makes the plane hard to control.

Experts are now investigating what happened to make sure it does not happen again.
