1 Dead After Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 Hits Severe Turbulence

One person has died after a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 hit severe turbulence. The aircraft, flying from London to Singapore as SQ321, was forced to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, squawking 7700, the code for a general emergency.
Horrifying images of the cabin damage show the severity of the turbulence, and one can only imagine the distress experienced by the passengers onboard…

Keep your seatbelts on at all times, even when it’s cruising. You never know when things like this will suddenly happen

[@A380_Flyer]

What about when you need to go to the toilet or stretch your legs?

[@USGBCLIGREENSCHOOLS]

I do both on the ground. Even if my body aches in flight, I don’t get up and just deal with it.

[@marleneissexy]

“Suddenly” Boeings are dropping out of the sky these days, there’s no suddenly about it 😂😂

[@magical_catgirl]

@@A380_Flyer If the airline is using the signs correctly, the seat belt signs should only be on during take off, landing and when weather/turbulence is expected.
When the signs are on, you should be in your seat with the seat belt fastened.
When the signs are off, you can move around, but should still keep the belt fastened whenever you are seated (because of something like this or some other unforeseen issue requiring rapid movements).
The problem is that many airlines don't use the signs correctly and leave them on during periods of flight when they aren't needed, thus leading to people ignoring them.

[@killerbees177]

Reason why the crew always tell passengers this

[@friesguy2403]

now don't get confused. The plane has no problem handling most of the turbulence. the people inside are not guaranteed.
Just use the seatbelt function and you should be fine

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@AluminumOxide]

This is why I always keep my belt buckled throught the entire flight. Sometimes these air pockets are unpredictable and undetectable even with current technology, so there are times where one is encountered and generates negative g forces.

[@magical_catgirl]

This just shows why people need to keep their seat belts fastened, even when the sign is off.
However, the issue comes from many airlines not using the seat belt signs correctly, which leads to them getting ignored.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

That’s not true at all. Airlines use the seatbelts correctly.

Wear your seatbelt at all times.

Dude literally was scared to death

Condolences to all people and family effected, and please wait and let the investigation fully done before anyone starting to make conclusions of reason behind accident, because now is going to be too much of possibility to be point at to why suddenly it has violence turbulence.
(After edit)
Idk why many people start to point any possible reason why it has violence turbulence and some blaming the plane.

Apparantly it was not CAT ( Clear Air Turbulence) case. I will wait for the investigation’s result

[@cabottaxi]

773 is one tough aircraft. Wondering what would have been the outcome on other types of planes ?

[@yodaas7902]

For smaller aircraft it likely would have felt more severe

[@henrychan720]

All commercial airliners have been designed and tested to withstand 150% expected load. No more, no less. So to answer your question, the plane would have withstood it in the exact same way. Smaller planes will obviously shake more but structurally it would still have the same safety factor.

[@magical_catgirl]

The same. All modern aircraft are designed to handle this sort of thing. The only damage the aircraft has is internal due to impacts from lose items and people not using seat belts.

[@nschlaak]

I think that this bird exceeded its flying parameters and it might not be airworthy anymore due to the severe stresses on its wings and fuselage.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Not the case.

Was it known there could be turbulence?

U think if the pilots had known about the terbulence this would happen?

[@LeeAviation]

This particular turbulence is undetectable. It’s called clear air turbulence.
