Air France Flight 447

Air France Flight 447 was a scheduled passenger flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris that tragically crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1, 2009. It faced severe turbulence and entered a stall due to inconsistent airspeed readings caused by ice crystals in the plane's pitot tubes. The pilots struggled to regain control, and the aircraft ultimately went down, resulting in the loss of all 228 passengers and crew. Investigations revealed issues with pilot training, automated systems, and communication, leading to significant changes in aviation safety regulations and cockpit protocols to prevent similar incidents.
