Ever wonder how planes are tested to keep us safe way up at 37,000 feet? It’s actually pretty wild! Engineers put planes through insane tests, like bending their wings almost to the breaking point to make sure they can handle turbulence. They also simulate extreme weather—think freezing temperatures, scorching heat, and even fake lightning strikes—to ensure nothing goes wrong in real-life conditio...

The plane had been in the air for a mere 25 seconds when the pilots noticed weird noises and vibrations. They tried several ways to improve the situation, but nothing worked. And just over a minute into the flight, when the plane reached 3,000 feet, both engines failed: first, the right one; two seconds later, the left one. It seemed like only a miracle could save the passengers. And then, one of...

Turbulence is no longer just a bumpy patch in the sky — it’s becoming more frequent, more intense, and more dangerous. But what’s causing this global rise in rough air?
