BANGKOK, May 21 — A Singapore Airlines flight from London made an emergency landing in Bangkok today due to severe turbulence, officials said, with one passenger on board dead and local media reporting multiple injuries.
It was not immediately clear at what point during the flight the injuries and death took place.
Thai media reports said there were 30 injuries, while Singapore Airlines did not specify how many people were injured.
Video clips shared on social media by reporters at the scene showed emergency vehicles lined up at the airport.
Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport official confirmed one death but did not confirm the total injured.
The Boeing 777-300ER plane with 211 passengers and 18 crew was headed to Singapore when it made the emergency landing, the airline said in a statement.
“Our priority is to provide all possible assistance to all passengers and crew on board the aircraft,” the airline said.
“We are working with the local authorities in Thailand to provide the necessary medical assistance.”
The last Singapore Airlines fatalities were in October 2000 when a plane crashed on a closed runway during takeoff at Taiwan and 83 people died.
Singapore Airlines has had 7 accidents according to records by the Aviation Safety Network.
Thai immigration police said that medical personnel have boarded the plane to assess injuries but cannot confirm the number and some uninjured passengers were deplaned. — Reuters

Always strap yourself on a flight.
ReplyDeleteHowever , on a long flight, you can't avoid having to go to the toilet and stretching your legs a bit.
So there will always be some people in the aisle or in the toilet, who may nbe injured during turbulence.
One of the picture show one bloodied crew member.
ReplyDeletePilot do not not have some kind of advance warning of turbulence, unless really very sudden negative impact to react. And a sudden 7000ft dropped?

Who was on that plane?
(NB: plane crash as a tool for assin4tion tool. The rest are collateral. Do pickup stuffs when lurking in anonymous board)
There were actually at least 3 deaths on the flight, Not just 1 as offIcially reported it just 2 in the MF post above .
ReplyDeleteSenior Israeli intelligence official was on board the plane, so the entire flight was targeted by Hamas .
The man was flying on a US passport, so you will never know from the passenger manifest.
Wakakakaka..
They were lucky the plane didn't just disappear like MH370.
ReplyDeleteAnother Boeing plane in trouble in the news

How does turbulence cause a plane to drop 6,000 Ft?
Or was it just Boeing being Boeing again?
Condolence to the family of the deceased passenger.
ReplyDeleteWakakakaka…
ReplyDeleteHow about a sinister intention in manipulating weather pattern going haywired?
cf: crashing of the Iranian President helicopter!
Does these kind of news impact people's decision to fly? Saw an interview clip in apnews yt channel where one of the injured person of SQ321 was remarking he won't be flying for awhile to come...do wonder...

SHOCK REPORT: ⚠️ New FAA notice reveals 300 Boeing planes used by American and United Airlines have potentially FATAL FLAW that may cause jets to EXPLODE mid-air...
Earlier this year, a new series of Boeing jets were discovered to have a potentially deadly defect..
The problem was identified as an electrical fault in the company's 777 jets that could lead to the fuel tanks in the plane's wings igniting and exploding.
The finding indicates that nearly 300 additional aircraft might be at risk, including jets operated by United and American Airlines, as stated in a notice by the Federal Aviation Administration.

A potential issue made public over a year ago, corrected by Boeing, on existing and future planes, that never resulted in a problem. The FAA issued this AD in March to ensure no plane is built in the future with the same potential issue.
