On December 28, 2014, Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501 tragically goes down in the Java Sea while navigating a severe thunderstorm, resulting in the loss of all 155 passengers and 7 crew members aboard. Investigations reveal that the crash was attributed to a failure in the rudder travel limiter unit, compounded by the pilots' inadequate reaction to the emergency situation.
