Thailand medical services always very efficient. Condolences to the family of deceased . Prayers for recovery for all those injured.
The Thai people were very incredible, and they were very valiant and brave at the same time to help such an incident like this. It's such a shine and so saddening to see quite a lot of people injured at 1 died. In particular , one from britain who was seventy three years old. Resting in Peace Jeff cook.
Otherwise, thank you, Thailand, for all the help and assistance. 😢😢
As a pilot very sad to see this, very sad to see the injuries to the passengers. Excellent assistance from Thai emergency services.
And this is the reason why it's recommended you keep your seatbelt fastened at all times.
Singapore Airlines is known as the best airline but things can always happen with the fluctuations in the weather. The captain was very good at deciding to make an emergency landing in Thailand.. Seeing the good help of Thailand, I feel admired and everyone. Very country should do the same help when emergencies like this occur.
My deepest condolences to the deceased and his family.
❤ from Thailand
Wearing my seatbelt the whole flight from now on.
Always have done here. Take it off if I need to go to the toilet & once landed, that's it. Safest.
Yes, well part of the standard warning is to ALWAYS wear your seatbelt in case of anything like this happening.
steady on there billy... slight over reaction not good for you , you'll give yourself hemorrhoids
True, but What if the passenger was walking toward the restroom and it happened all of sudden? Who knew? Even the pilot couldn't see it in the radar.
Don't Fly.
On a positive note - this just shows the strength of these planes.
Boeing?
@@Michael-yy3frBoeing 777
Incidents like this also show good training and experience from the crew since they recovered the aircraft, preventing more injuries.
Correct... and a well trained crew.
Air pocket (sudden drop) can not be detected by radar, that is why it is important to keep your seatbelt on at all times!!!
Having worked for an airline, this is the exact reason I always have my seatbelt buckled the whole flight when I travel. RIP to the poor man 😢
Whenever you sit on the plane always use seabelt if you are not moving around. On my last flight Havana-Paris two months ago I was unbelted 3 minutes to go to the toilet, the rest of the time I used belt (9 hours). Most probably every passenger needs to experience heavy turbulence once, to know why. The plane I was flying with has never made a sudden big drop, but when and if it would once, I am sure I would be well prepared.
On the way to Cuba, Airfrance avoided turbulent areas over the Atlantic, what we were told and the flight was 30 minutes or more longer. But not all companies do that.
You're so smart wow.
Who would of thought seatbelts where useful 😮 I'm speeches
Have always worn seatbelt when seated
So sad RIP
Some media reports have erroneously reported the descent toward Bangkok from 37,000 feet to 31,000 feet as the turbulence event. This was a standard controlled descent to a new flight level, and was after the turbulence
This is horrible! I am so sorry to hear this.
Scary n sad...my deepest sympathys to the person who passed n his fam...speedy recovery to the other...god bless you all...🙏💕⚘🇹🇹
This is unbelievable. I’ve never heard of turbulence killing someone. 😮😮😮. This is so sad.
I agree can be heart attack because turbulence really is scary
Very Sad indeed!!! 😢
Perhaps now people will pay attention to the safety brief, including always keeping your seatbelt loosely fastened when seated.
Rip xxxx❤❤❤❤
Condolence whom family have been lost here ,with big in our heart,r.i.p,may god almighty ease whole passenger recover well better fast enough soon,honourly for all the be concern on the ground enhanced ,Thais medical aid and staff involved here now,thank you much alot for your concern priority for cooperation ER,unpredictable air technical error failure today,all passenger safety the first priority for all ingoing,the god almighty bless your all
I always do as advised...keep seat belt loosely fastenned during flight
A comparison of the normal tracks of the same flight on this route with that of the affected one, seems to suggest that this incident may have occurred just south of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta ) as the aircraft crossed into the Bay of Bengal . From there the aircraft diverts to Bangkok instead of carrying on to Singapore . Whatever , very sad . Condolences .
Have they innnvaddeddd?
My deepest condolences to the deceased and his family.
From Thailand ❤
Thai people are taught to think like this: think, speak well, act, make friends, and go to good places. You will find only good things.
Rip
Ideally, the only time you should ever take your seatbelt off is to go to the toilet or to take a few minutes of exercise.
Ohhh. No😓🤕🙏✌️
Sad news. I can never understand why people undo their belts completely unless using the loo. I loosen mine a bit but never sit there with it undone.
Thrown in the air when they were not strapped in? How the hell were they not strapped in during that kind of turbulence? 🤷🏻♂️😳
RIP 🎉🎉🎉. So sorry.😢😢
why you sorry ? did you know the person , or you just searching for virtue likes to make you feel better ?
Always go to bathroom in terminal just before flight to minimise toilet usage and minimise walking around in plane. Always put seat belt on. They always advise this even when seat belt sign off but I suspect many don't bother listening to that warning. Also, wearing a padded Bluetooth headphones will protect your head and side of face in event of objects flying
Tragic as it is one man died, at least the rest all survived and the plane didn't crash. It must have been horribly traumatizing.
Someone probably filmed the whole thing.
RIP to him.
In 144 resolution.
The older man had a HEART ATTACK
Yes they did mention that. Nevertheless the heart attack was caused by the plane and he was probably scared shitless. Don't make it sound like just because he had a heart attack like it had nothing to do with the plane making a fucking nosedive!
7 of those 64 injured have critical injuries from being thrown out of their seats ffs. You're making it sound like it's all a fuss over nothing because an old guy had a heart attack.
@rhungwei I would have died myself, of sheer fright. I hate flying...unless absolutely necessary.
@@rhungweiThe person you are responding to so forcefully is not saying that the victim's heart attack had nothing to do with the nose dive.
@@yasminbarry7941oh…in which case I apologise!
Finnair crew members are very critical if you start to wander around and not sitting . They will soon come and put you sitting again and seat belt fastened. End of this month I will have a flight to Helsinki and hopefully all passenger will have their seat belt fastened when not using the toilet.
Why would anyone with a braincell be walking around on a plane. Unless you are going to the toilet.
@jake751 have seen such passengers. Yes, they like to just get up for stretching or something. Especially on a long flight
Heart attack it is those turbulences can be very fearful yet a Singapore Airlines flight is supposed to be more reliable than Raisi helicopter
Uncommanded slats deployment will cause the aircraft to yo-yo in the way described, not turbulence.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, let your perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace. Amen. VIVA CHRISTO REY!!! ✝️⚓️❤️🙏
Since when did children present the news
Since we got old?
LMFAO you mad because you're old??? Or because you were too busy being useless at their age???
😂😂😂@@Randomequestrian-pm4hl
Well, how old are you, OP?
Don't care about their age but why are news companies no longer employing professionals? Um, ah, ah erm, ah, um, ook, tut, ah, ah, um.
Is it possible to take a boat from the UK to other countries?
Or is plane the only means, since it's an Island technically.
You can travel by ships/cruises but it takes a lot longer than the plane.
Jet travel is nine times safer than just 35 years ago.
Helicopters are 40 times more dangerous than cars per mile.
What's the plans make. .. Lots of whistle boats keep getting killed in the USA
Bay of bengal is the world's most dangerous ares ti fly over font know why thry fly over it or bypadd it
My prayers for the deceased passenger and also for the severely and moderately injured for a speedy recovery physical ally and mentally from this tragedy
It was near Myanmar not Bay of Bengal
Average GB news viewer: Pilot was foreign?, Enriching us with his piloting skills. Deport deport deport
You’d hate to be in the toilet when the turbulence happened !
My comment was censored. Outrageous censorship. All I said that it was the best place to be for fucks sake.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised because it isn't very common knowledge amongst the general population, exactly how many people die in the air every year. Ask any international Long haul flight attendant that you happen to know they will tell you at least one or two stories, And those are just individuals who all have different stories. So people dying of old age and heart attacks and strokes etc is not as uncommon as you'd think. These don't get reported on because believe it or not the airline expects this to happen from time to time and they have procedures in place. For example they usually just leave the person sitting there in place as if they are sleeping, they wait for everybody to disembark and then have medical personnel and authorities board.. And the public is none the wiser.
avoid bad weather, why not?
Mayday, Mayday - Gerard Butler film about a plane going over Malaysia? The plane hits turbulence, A passenger gets thrown about and hits his head. dies, and a flight attendant too. Its a bit weird this played out in real life. in MAY?
Many Hollywood films do play out into life. bee happening for decades.
@@sjbict yep , the xfiles had a spin off show, the lone gunman? and in that a plane flies into the twin towers a year before it happened.
Michael Crichton's book 'Airframe' describes a fictional incident exactly like this, whilst it is fiction the aircraft detail and description of how a large passenger jet functions is accurate. Warning, if you read it you may never fly again.
@@54000biker i don't have a passport, no intention of ever flying. I do not see why people want to travel to some foreign land?
not my thing.
@@paultimson6674that’s fine, it’s your choice - as long as you realise you’re way in the minority of people throughout the planet.
One person died due to a technical problem. Sad indeed.
Let us mention the uncounted women and children who died in the wars they never subscribed to.
What is going on with Boeing planes?????? 😱
I forgot that only Boeing planes can experience turbulence
I lose someone I love in an airliner due to their failures? Someones going to lose ALOT of planes.
LMFAO OK kid go back to keyboard warrioring.... Can't predict turbulence and the passengers are told to keep your belts on unless you need to get up!
Every airliner tells you to wear your seat belt while seated for this very reason.
I never take my seatbelt off!
Going to be interesting to see if the pilots used the tools they have to try and avoid the turbulence and passengers should always wear their seat belts when not up going to the restroom
This happened during daylight hours so it will most likely have been clear air turbulence. Commercial airplanes are not equipped to discover clear air turbulence in time.
The number of injured seems to indicate that the fasten seatbelt signs were not on simply because there was no sign of turbulence until it hit. Some people would mostly likely have been in line at the toilets which is normal.
Clear air turbulence hits out of nowhere like a hammer. If the airplane drops out of the flight altitude, the people not strapped in will have experienced a zero G event which means they will have violently hit the ceiling in the cabin etc.
Unless, you are strapped in, clear air turbulence can be a very violent event.
The airplane will not fall out of the sky and can take a lot more punishment than any passenger so the airplane was structurally never in danger.
Pilots could only avoid severe precipitation in clouds by looking at their weather radar but no way they could know there was going to be a severe turbulence. As soon as they felt the airplane was shaking , the seat belt sign would come on. Passengers must heed the sign if they also felt the plane was starting to shake.
To say there was no way they could have avoided the turbulence is only partially true..in my response I said “use all” the tools available to them..and maybe they did..the use of radar weather reports notams and other pilots reporting clear turbulence and of course the pilots of this aircraft calling other pilots to see if anyone else in the area experienced severe turbulence
Sq pilots are not the smartest to make proactive calls to identify turbulence threats , usually the weather monitoring system are quite good nowadays can pre want passengers to wear seat belts etc.,
Woops. Turns out they didn't have their seatbelts on. It could be the crews fault for not warning folks to keep on their seatbelts.. or it could be passengers disregarding instructions to stay strapped in.
61 folks weren't strapped in... it could be the crews fault because thats a lot of people who must have been caught off-guard by the turbulence. If they were prepared.. surely they'd be strapped in.
It was clear air turbulence, which the pilots have no way of detecting.
Warnings are ALWAYS given to keep your seat belt buckled at all times. Common sense really, but there are always some who chose to ignore it. In no way is that the airline's fault.
@@tonywoodhouse6988they don't tell you to keep your seat belts on at all time
they said it's around the time lunch was served. And many were not seated, apparently?
@@Witcher14they do. It's aways suggested to keep seat belts on when seated regardless of the seat belt sign as it's always too late/delay for the sign to be put up before majority of damage is done. Rmb turbulence can only predicted to certain extend and it hits like rogue wave. Unfortunately everyone just conveniently take it lightly or just ignoring it. All is good when no issue arrise, but when things go south. People likes to start throwing blames before reflecting on they own action. Typical human being.
Dont go on aeroplanes....
Wear a seatbelt
That should teach them a lesson!! Keep your seat belt on if u are seated!!! Is basic common sense!!! 🙄🤦🏻♀️😒 when they switch off the belt signal is just for you to be able to go toilet. 🙄🤷🏻♀️
I’ve seen people stand around chatting all the way on an 8 hour flight except when they sat to eat their meals!!!
They do say to keep your seatbelt on during the flight; no one knows what a day may bring, knowing God is our only real security, seek the Lord while He may be found, and call upon Him while He is yet near.
Why is it always Singapore or Malaysia?
Yes. No other airlines had any air crashes. Dumb comment
@@somethingisbaking2401 where did I say no other airlines had any air crashes?
fail and fail! Again and again!
@@Tj-km7ps then why single out singapore and Malaysia? What is your agenda?
@@somethingisbaking2401 because it’s always them, it must be a coordination issue with their dna
Wow theres a baby..
Thats why i Always wear setbealts
Rhe presenter sounds so fake when he announced tbe death of the Brit
Very sad incident. But attributing this to climate change is an insult to the intelligence.
Shaken not stirred
Still plane is more safety then helicopter plane can land safety
" Airways are safest mode of transport" ,
They says 😂
Incompetent pilots or flying over tge Bay of bengal the world's most dangerous area to fly ovrr
Plus old people should nit be flying 73 is too old to fly mean old man was hoing to die anyways
Boeing?
Yes, a 16 year old Boeing 777, why?
@@JayJayAviation They make shoddy planes (and spare parts), so not a shock.
@@dyausium2709 what does that have to do with turbulence?
@@JayJayAviation That's like claiming a car doesn't have anything to do with the amount of bumpiness you feel while in it. Sure the main cause is the road, but how the machine handles that stress is also to note.
It has a whole lot to do with Boeing being Boeing.
non news event story
I should say the male anchor is extremely handsome
Best go to specsavers. He's gross
@@jake751I am sorry and I deeply apologize what I have said. I show my deepest sorrow for the past person.
Deport. Deport. Deport.
Was he British or a passport pretender?
What is a passport pretender
@@Lilly2023K what a dumb way to say illegal then
terribly sad.... this aircraft has only 2 engines.... perhaps it would not have dropped 6,000 feet if the aircraft had 4 engines ..... and the turbulence drops are ALL VERY SUDDEN DROPS .... MOSTLY UNPREDICTABLE !!! BUT if the Aircraft had 4 engines, the power and thrust of the 4 engines could have prevented a 6,000 foot drop...... sadly these days, they like to design aeroplanes with SKINNY WINGS which do not have much lift and to make matters worse, they install only 2 engines......so it is not surprising that in Turbulence, the aircraft may drop 6,000 feet !!!! but they want to have SKINNY WINGS and LESSER ENGINES to be more Fuel Efficient.... after all ....they all fly at 45,000 feet..... and a 6,000 foot drop is just a fraction of the height that you fall in Turbulence.....During the Boeing 747 days... you seldom hear of Turbulence Dropping over 800 feet !!!! This will happen to All Airlines using these Twin Engine airplanes with Skinny Wings....
The so called “skinny” wings are good for turbulence. They can flex to relieve stresses caused by the turbulent forces… pretty sure you would rather a sudden drop (which is safe wearing a seatbelt) over a a wing failure.
Sorry but your wrong
I’d like to believe this is a joke
@@TECHN0FARMER SKINNY THIN WINGS dont have as much LIFT as Broader Wings.....
@@vincentowyong The amount of lift produced by the wings is hardly a factor, during flight at cruising altitude. Both styles of wings produce much greater forces of lift during takeoff and landing. During flight they only use a proportion of the lift they could theoretically produce.

Lack of safety measurements
Free Palestine
yes not enough velvet soft loo roll
In what way was there a lack of safety measures?
What? These people were careless! Not sorry at all
@@fnaticmatt20 The good protestors support Palestine and humanity
as usual everyone gets complacent and think flying is safe , now this should be a wake up call to do your own duty for your safety and sit down and buckle up unless needed to be up IE : toilet and such like ... condolences to family of lost soul onboard ...
Free Palestine from the hatred of Rishi Sunak, Borish Johnson, Michael Gove
@@LonLon-zu6qoFree the UK from you.
Unless they are treated for the Benz. But totally agree, complacency kills, not the automated device.
Couldn't even get to or on a flight, the results/effects of the infected blood inquiry is more important personally!
These are completely separate things.
There are different news events that are important to different people. The families of the people on that plane probably don't care about the infected blood inquiry right now.
Was the person who died black?
No…
No one cares then.
Free Gaza from the hatred of the English goverment. This man died for Palestine
fucking hell man, Palestine has nothing to do with this.
Aww you jealous
Free us from your tantrums on matters you just discovered. Like these passengers, sit tight, and you won't get hurt.

lonlon, buy a one way ticket to guzza, but please keep us updated on how you are doing in the land of brainless Eye slam nutjobs.
This is a reality check. Whilst on a plane and wearing no seat belt, EVERYONE THINKS THEY ARE PERFECTLY SAFE. After seeing this, the seat belt is staying on.
I don't think of traveling by airplanes anymore, maybe only on trusted airlines.
It's real horror story ✈️🛫🧳🤔
I can tell you’re not a traveller - Singapore Airlines definitely counts as a trusted airline if you check their record.
Klaus is delighted you feel that way.
