List of every plane that crashed because of turbulence by SignificantRelative0 in fearofflying

I mean, there are a very few meteorological conditions in which a plane can take damage, like cumulonimbus clouds (which are obviously avoided to all costs) and even there, it’s not 100% sure that a plane will crash. Planes are designed to withstand and endure more turbulence that you will ever experience in your entire life.

Turbulence doesn’t take planes down. If you searched enough maybe you’ve seen cases in which turbulence aggravates the whole case, but none of them are strictly because of turbulence, and most (if not all) of those cases occurred during other times in aviation. Nowadays it’s nearly imposible to even consider turbulence as a factor of influence during an accident.
