A passenger on board the Singapore Airlines flight that experienced severe turbulence, leading to one fatality, has shared their account of the terrifying incident.

The Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300ER was en route from London to Singapore when it had to divert to Bangkok, Thailand. The plane rapidly dropped from 37,000 feet to 31,000 feet within just five minutes, causing chaos and injuries on board.

The passenger, Andrew Davies, took to social media to describe the harrowing experience. He expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased and shared his sympathies for the injured.

Davies commended the air stewards’ bravery and the rapid response of the emergency services in Bangkok. He emphasized the importance of wearing seatbelts at all times, as those who were injured were not wearing them.

According to Singapore Airlines, 30 passengers are currently being treated in hospitals, with 7 in critical condition and 23 with moderate injuries. The airline has set up a hotline for relatives seeking information and is providing all necessary assistance during this difficult time. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office, as well as Singapore Airlines and Suvarnabhumi International Airport, are being contacted for further comments.

Turbulence is a common occurrence during air travel, but this incident serves as a reminder of its potential dangers. It is crucial for passengers to follow safety guidelines and listen to the instructions of cabin crew members. Singapore Airlines will be working with authorities in Thailand to investigate the incident further and ensure the safety of future flights.
