Looks like maybe an A119. They said lots of lurching side to side so I'm wondering if violent rudder inputs would do that. Don't think I'd like to be on a "vomitorium" at all. So how many redundant systems are there these days?

i don't know what that means, "yellow hydraulics".
but i'd bet $100 that in the end, it comes down to a maintenance issue.

The Yellow Hydraulics refers to 1 of the 3 Hydraulic systems, the other 2 being the Blue and Green Systems. It sounds like they lost the Yellow and Green systems leaving only the Blue Electric Pump powering the emergency flight controls. The Green is the system used by the steering on the A320.
