Turbulence could take down a plane if the pilot was not experienced to deal with the turbulence properly.

All pilots flying commercial aircraft are well trained to handle the plane as well as deal with any weather conditions and the turbulence.

Since the airline pilot is very well trained and experienced with the plane and the turbulence the turbulence is not dangerous and cannot take down the plane.

The airline pilot would slow the plane down and then the turbulence will eventually go away.

Turbulence can seem scary and feel like the plane is gonna crash.

However the turbulence will not cause the plane to crash.

Now if you were to fly an airplane and were not experienced or trained then the plane could crash.

But on commercial airlines you have nothing to worry about and the plane will fly safely and you should reach your destination safely as well.
