Downvote this clickbait.
Title is definitely designed to give an impression that it's the aircrafts fault, and to imply that the craft fell out of the sky, obviously to capitalize on the anti Beoing trend.
As others here have correctly pointed out, this is an ever present risk for all aircraft. Air is invisible, and you can't see pockets of turbulence before you hit them. It's a risk you should be aware of on all flights, and the reason you're asked to keep your belt on while seated even if the light is off.
Er well in this article where they spoke with the pilot, he had this to say, "Jokat said the pilot came to the back of the plane once the plane landed.
"I asked him 'what happened?' and he said to me 'I lost my instrumentation briefly and then it just came back all of a sudden'."

So yeah, it is in fact looking like it may be something with the plane.
The Dreamliner has been plagued with issues. This would just get added to the list. :/
Yeah I've been through something like this. Felt like 2-3 seconds of full weightlessness, people were floating out of their seats. The scary part was we were on approach for landing so we didn't have that much altitude to lose! Everything turned out fine, though. No injuries that i know of. Just a brief moment of terror as the magic making the plane stay in the air took a brief nap.
