AI2379 Mystery Deepens: Hydraulic Failure, Dope Tests Questioned

AI2379 Mystery Deepens: Hydraulic Failure, Dope Tests Questioned

An airplane called AI2379 was flying when the ride suddenly became very rough.

The rough ride, called turbulence, was so strong that 17 people on the plane got hurt.

At first, everyone thought the turbulence was the only problem.

Now, some reports say the plane may have had a bigger mechanical issue.

The plane may have lost power in three important systems that help it move up and down.

That kind of problem could have made the plane drop suddenly in the sky.

The company that built the plane, Airbus, is now helping with the investigation.

People are also asking questions about the rules for testing pilots, including drug tests.

Everyone wants to understand why this happened and whether India's aviation rules need to change.
