STILL,SALUTE TO THE PILOTS.THEY HAVE THAT PRESENCE OF MIND..AND THE REST IS HISTORY..
Dude. The pilot is not the one to thank with. Reports had already came in that seatbelt sign is not on. Even after the turbulence.
People died many injured u still can call it a salute ?
@@Scambuster491 AT LEAST THE PILOT SAVE THE PLANE, unlike you saying pilots are not appreciated for and also, by law passengers should always fasten their seatbelt even if the seatbelt sign is off
@@PROXIMIAZi dude if it’s by law why the pilots switch off the seatbelt sign then? Haha 😂
@@Scambuster491 its not by law but it states that you should wear your setbelts at all times necessary
All Thanks to Thailand for Amazing Response Team on site n Medical Staff
Of course, any team in any country would do the same
@@sarahjaynescott545
Thailand has Top Notch doctors n hospitals
@@aeri878good thing they didn't end up like Malaysian airlines
Lame news nothing special
@@RDplayz lame person, don't see talent in u
To the pilots and cabin crew we salute you. Thank you for your service.
What the f? For putting people into the icu and killing an older gentleman? They need to be investigated for gross negligence
@@AlanSmith88888are you stupid? Turbulence is a normal thing and passengers weren’t wearing their seatbelt at that time so how is that the pilots fault? Also the man that passed away had heart disease so.
Good to have your seat belt on whenever possible.
Absolutely so right!! I don't even take mine off in the shower or when I go to bed.
@@alexsetterington3142 saves you from smashing your head into the ceiling (as with what happened in this instance) if you are unlucky enough to encounter clear air turbulence
You can't hv your seatbelt on if you are in the lavatory.
@@maureenkam9212 hello whenever possible he said stop trying to act like you never see
@@maureenkam921220 plus people in a toilet must have been tight in there? Hopefully this will convince to actually use a little brain power and buckle up??😊
I like this kind of report, facts only, no bs no speculation whatsoever.
But even then, there will be... Considering how much people would like to shit on Boeing that is.
@@ROBLOXGamingDavid boeing is not at fault its turbullance
@@PROXIMIAZi i know.. But like i said, there would be others who probably won't see it that way despite that this is a 777, not something they could just correlate.
Lesson learned, always wear seatbelt when seated. Hope those families with young kids listen to the cabin crew. Many at times, kids standing on the seats. Parent just don’t bother.
When you travelling on the plane it's different while travelling on the road. On the road it's the law you must wear the seatbelts throughout your journey but in the plane there will be time where passengers don't have to wear seatbelts or for them to move around on the plane. It's just tragic that the turbulence happened suddenly giving everyone no chance to prepare for it.
Thank goodness for Pilots able to stabilized the plane to not crash dive. Hoping n praying for the quick recovery of injured passengers.
Seriously, i cant imagine being one of the passengers. It must have felt an eternity on a roller coaster. Scary
thanks to the pilot and crew for handling critical situation, condolences to the decease family and fast recovery to the injury passenger.
that’s why police always asked you to always use the Seat-Belt
It's different when travelling in the plane. On the road it's the law that you must wear your seatbelt all through your journey in the car while on the plane there will be time where passengers don't have to wear seat belt and can move around on the plane. It's just tragic that the turbulence happened suddenly giving everyone no chance to prepare for it.
Ever since I saw the episode about Aloha Airlines' roof blowing off on National Geographic channel, I always keep my seat belt on throughout the flight.
Safety belt alert
It takes a lot of courage..
Bravo to the pilots
Syabas for the pilots who have had taken critical actions by landing to the nearest airport.
Let's bless the people injured due to this severe turbulence to recover smoothly!😭
Terrible news, I experienced a same situation 2 years ago. Even though it was not as bad, the trauma still with me today :(. Hope everyone else is ok
Thank you Mr. Pilot and Crews you have done a good job. I dalute you. No one want this to happen but it happen. Pray to God to strengthen your spirit.
My condolences to the relatives.
FANTASTIC PILOTS - congrats to them and also to the crew!
They flew into a thunderstorm. They messed up man
RIP for the brother frm England ..😢so sad
For what reason you want to unbuckle your seat belt unless to go toilet? .. Pls do not unbuckle them during the flight.
Go pangsai.
They are on a cruise altitude although they are approaching to Singapore... Perhaps the turbulence was sudden and severe.
Maybe because your wife giving u massage and u unbuckled for the happy ending
@@ROBLOXGamingDavid probably
@@ROBLOXGamingDavid but you should always fasten your seatbelt at all times deemed necessary
That was a really good summary, thank you
May the injured passengers have a speedy recovery.💐
Thank you Pilot for saving all passengers...rest in peace to the departed
It doesn't look like only turbulence. It looks like the plane just stopped flying . It was stalling and falling. There might be several reasons for that
RIP to the man that passed away 🙏🏻
So many news outlets mentioned the one person who died, those injured, the turbulence. The passengers interviewed also didn’t even thanked the pilots and crew. ☹️
That’s why I keep my seatbelt on for the entire flight regardless if they’re one hour or the 12 hours turbulence is always unexpected
this just shows that how durable a plane is even after experiencing heavy turbulence. the plane will not break mid air.
i was on an a330 last month and during the climb we encountered turbulence and dropped 3000ft, my stomach legit dropped for like 10 seconds. it happens a lot tbh but after that it was fine
Pitch up before drop sounds fishy to me unless they tried to climb out before turbulence but I'd say better to defend myself as was at 37000 already
I travel extensively and notice how the majority of passengers ignore the suggestions to have your seat belts fastened while seated. The airline will be held accountable as the modern person is incapable of being accountable for their own actions.
I think that what saved everyone (except 1) on board was the first few seconds that tilted the plane upwards. Or else if the plane started to nosedive during the air pocket, there was very little the pilot or autopilot could do even after they exited the air pocket.
*Need to interview those passengers and crew onboard to get their first hand experience*
This happened to a Boeing 787 plane just this march of 2024, Australia to New Zealand route. The plane suddenly dipped violently, and people got injured same with the people on this flight
heard that a FA went in the cockpit and hit the trim
That is why my parents always said, fasten your seat belts at all time! doesnt matter if the seatbelt sign is off.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Better than the 'actual' mainstream news media.
Just the facts and data... This is what News should be like.
Fortunetely the aircraft not broken into two...
Turbulence will never brake aircraft into two parts, however it can do some minor damage to its engines.
The planes are designed to withstand turbulence, although for those not seated, any unsecured object could be dangerous and people could get hurled or thrown upwards...
Almost, because it's a Boeing.
@@mecx7322 Turbulence *CAN* break aircraft apart if it's severe enough. Take BOAC 911 for example. A Boeing 707 that broke up after hitting extreme turbulence near the Fiji Mountains. No one survived.
No, Not even in the history of aviation.
RIP😢
This is more than air-pocket. The region is without air ,six thousand feet height and 20 miles wide. Aeroplane get no control because of no upthrust.
Get away from the highest temperature regions underneath.
This is by far the most complete detail…
Low quality reporting, aweful voice.
I always use belt. I had turbulence in a380..knocked water off my tray.
Comprehensive report.
*Why seat belt sign not in On mode also any intercom announcement made to request passenger to put on seat belt ?*
pilot busy doing engine check etc, crew tending to passengers
If it tilted upwards then could be due to some type of mechanical malfunction right?
Updrafts can also pitch planes up.
not always, it can be updrafts or stall
53 passengers and only 1 crew member were hurt? The rest of cabin crew were seated with seat belt fasten when severe in flight turbulence occurs?
Since it's a Boeing 777-300ER, I'm going to take the turbulence narrative with a pinch of salt.
According to Taylor Rains, in a January complaint to aviation regulators that was publicly released for the first time on Tuesday, Sam Salehpour, a veteran Boeing employee and 40-year aerospace engineer, said parts of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Boeing 777 were misaligned during assembly and could pose safety threats. (Source: Business Insider, 9 April 2024).
Your discription matches a stall not turbulence
shoot that is so sad and crazy
A 7000 ft drop is turbulence?
Exactly. How much of this was due to bad turbulence, and how much of it was due to some sort of defect in the 777 (which was produced by Boeing)
Media overdramatization. The pilot descend 6000 feet after turbulence.
@@strykergryphus0207there are no defects in the 777 series. Quit the act and shut up about Boeing. This incident is an act by god (turbulence). Boeing has nothing to do with it. You’re focusing too much on non-educated people who know nothing about aircrafts.
@@hydrazine799 is it though? You sound like you're trying to downplay the incident! You don't work for Boeing do you?
@@mightyhabib1182 It is standard operating procedure for pilots to change altitude after experiencing turbulence of that nature. And nope, would never work with Boeing.
Please when you are sitted always fasten your seat belt, turbulence has no warning air pocket is like this aircraft will suddenly rise upside then drop, I was a victim of Domestic flight turbulence but luckily that time happened my seatbelt is fasten.
It was a horrible experience in the life
And the explanation is very detailed
Boring is now in another crisis. Pity them. !!!
Sounds like a stall rather than turbulence. Pilot error?
traumatic experience to tje passengers . i cant imagine if i'm one of them inside the plane 😢😭
I almost always have seatbelt fastened when in plane, guess i do it for cases like that in most. Seatbelt is not discomfort for me in any case, beside i play with it often when im bored. Rest in peace for this man and many wishes of health to injured passangers.
The plane probably tilting upwards because the pilots were trying to climb out of the air pocket.
standard procedure to save the plane or could be stall
So they knew the turbulence was there
Sounds like a midair microburst - a mass of cold air descending from very high altitude at high speed. Be very interested in seeing the flight recorder data!
air pocket is suspected
I think Boeing has question to answer, sudden drop like this tells me something is wrong
I’m praying you’re joking 🤦♂️
Does Boeing create the turbulence that is common over The Bay of Bengal during Monsoon season?
Apparently, there is a design flaw that causes this specific circumstance. Check out the report from John Oliver
When there is a heavy down pour, I think you will blame the local govt.
Don’t be a conspiracy theorist. The 777 is a solid aircraft, built before the latest issues with Boeing ie 737 max / 787.
Not sure if its smart, but maybe they can add some cushion like material for the cabins roof to help prevent bad injuries.
Singapore government need to answer for this
0:14. Thats the cause. Its Boeing aircraft
bro relax lah, if u make a aircraft the aircraft not even gonna fly. Not like u can do anything right
agree
C supporter?
16yr old aircraft survived the worst turbulance experienced by some of the crew in 30yrs shows how strong it was
After all the things have happened, just disregard any severe turbulence and say it is all their fault.
Zero confidence in Boeing at this point.
I was think about passengers in the toilet its a horrible thought, imagine being a number two and that happened
he seemed like a nice guy
Captain chose Bangkok to land. Good move and good choice. What if he chose to land in Myanmar
weather radar switched off?
😢
Now people know that attendants are not taking the piss when asking you to keep your seatbelt on when seated, and that's the one question I'd ask when they stick their claims in.
Pilots flew into a thunderstorm man. they should be in jail
Always feel safe when I fly with our national carrier 🙏
Why aren’t the sit belt sign on instantly? Could have save more tragic!
All the signage in the world will do squat if people do not buckle up or do it fast enough.
Investigation result haven't out yet. Why so sure it's definitely weather? It can be human error or mechanical failure! Besides apologising & rendering help to injured passengers. SIA should also refund & compensate to all the passengers on board!
then you go refund lah! talk so much, must have investigation for weeks lah
The thought of being in the loo whenthis happened 😢
According to FlightRadar24, the plane did not fly over the Irrawaddy basin.
Flying First Class in a private suite is not as much fun, when belted down. I will take my chances!
.
More than turbulence at play. Nose up stall by sounds of it.
Could also be a CAT (Clear Air Turbulence). These can be severe, and can cause updrafts and downdrafts.
If you take a look at the altitude chart shown on the BBC video, the airplane has been increasing its flight altitude for quite a long while before experiencing the adverse event. I suspect that the pilot might have tried to fly *above* the storms or turbulence but the airplane had to reduce its altitude to land.
@@solconcordia4315 probably standard procedure to lower attitude in case of emergency landing.
It tilted upwards prior to the event? Seems like a stall.
Meaning that the Singapore plane and its pilots are amazing. The pilots managed to level the plane before it could crash. This shows how well trained our pilots and planes are🇸🇬
Who is the pilots?
I feel so bad
Why ?
Are you the pilot or you built that tofu made plane.
@@Paul-H-Wolfram6608 i think he means he feel bad for the everyone on the plane for their traumatic experience
So many questions! What about the equipment which recognizes the turbulence ahead of time and alerts the pilots? They always announce when it hits.
Lots of videos from pilots and ex-pilots explaining this. Currently, there is no technology to identify clear air turbulence
how to detect air pockets ahead of time? at the most is predicting and estimating based on weather patterns, however it is not 100% accuracy, not to mention global warming does change weather patterns. If you think you are so smart then why don't you develop such equipment and sell them?
weather radar
@@someguyoninternet7542 which type? which brand? detect what?
Clear air turbulence cannot be detected like turbulence due to storms and other weather events.
Dropping 6000 feet...must be hitting the mother of all turbulence...
something sus here
1. earlier news, tell that turbulence causing the problem. Thus, we assume the plane going to some thick cloud of sorts but it doesn't seem the case
2. there is no warning of turbulence ahead. Thus, passengers have no seat belts. If the plane expecting turbulence, the pilot would announce it and most passengers will sit down and wear seat belt. Thus, less people hit the ceiling when it happened
3. The witness didn't mention about bad weather but the plane is taking height. It should have been quite steep since he can notice the difference
It seems like the plane is the problem here.
not boeings fault.if u put the a350 there it wouldve suffered more since turbulence effects heavier aircrafts less so if u put any other plane in production in that situation it wouldve had more deaths. and in clean air u cant detect turbulence
@@ninjamemelord3839 I never say it is boeing. I don't even know about it.
Since it is boeing.
Last time the accident happened similar thing. The plane was tilting up then go down. It is similar thing happened here. It is tilting up. I think luckily the pilot can override the auto mode this time
It is more sus
@@nahrubish that problem was about mcas and it was on the max which has been fixed already
@@ninjamemelord3839 understand. Boeing now has problem with its planes. lack of QA.
I will be more cautious with Boeing plane
@@nahrubish u should probably only be cautious on the 737-max since its the only aircraft of boeing with problems
wear your seatbelts everybody
So what is the root cause of the fall? Mere "turbulence"?
Seat belt
@@bobafett5757 the plane fell 6000 ft due to some of the passengers not wearing seatbelts?
@@TheWinstonHan yeah, hard to believe isn't it? thats the truth
Not turbulence. Severe turbulence which was caught off guard
omg...imagine the shit from the toilet bowl floated. The mess is...
Unless you were on way to the loo there was no reason to have your seatbelt off -no sympathy
You may want to remove the word HONEY from your profile name because I don’t detect anything sweet about you having no sympathy for people experiencing a terrifying event like this buckled in or not.
@@user-ll3yx7tx3w he has a point, by right you are to fasten your seatbelt at all times
Taking insurance is very important when you fly ..you never know what can happen
SQ321 = QF72
Seem like this is a great case of taking civil aviation safety for granted.
The rest is just justification and avoidance of it
Nature is unpredictable
turbulence?
Praise God 🙏that most of the passengers lived through this event. Did that older gentleman die from a medical condition?
They say the poor gentleman had a previous heart complaint. He had stents put in, a fairly normal operation but this situation was obviously too much for him. RIP.
Condolenced to his family.
Lesson learn, fasten seatbelt at all times
The queries of the incident would be into:
1. Did the weather radar switch-on? If it was on, did the radar show any heavy cloud ahead?
2. Did the pilot try his best to detour and stay a way from the turbulence cloud or air space? IF it is unavoidable, then 3 below
3. Did the pilot announce to the cabin, alerting every passenger and crew members to return to the seat and fasten the seat belt?
All injuries could be avoided if everyone was seated and fasten the seat belt.
Nothing wrong with the aircraft.
1) Current weather radar technology is NOT able to detect CAT (Clear Air Turbulence) yet as of now. It is able to detect clouds, but NOT CAT.
2) Refer to answer 1
3) This is definitely CAT, and you are not able to detect it until you are in it. This is most likely what happened. Pilots follow a rule mainly:
- Aviate
- Navigate
- Communicate
In that order. As you can see communication is the least of their concerns, after the incident, they will definitely inform ATC and the passengers & cabin crew, only once they aviate the plane, and navigate.
@@styren2815 #1. is subject to the investigation. Agree with you that CAT is not visible to the radar.
My point is, if the incident was not due to CAT, the pilot has the responsibility to make the announce alerting the coming turbulence, and get everyone to fasten the seat belt. Most injuries or death could be avoided if the passenger follow the instruction from the pilot.
I have no comment on the after event. Airlines and govt have done whatever they needed to do.
@@cheuman1 This is almost definitely due to CAT. Pilots are not dumb enough to penetrate cumulonimbus clouds especially that they are magenta coloured on the weather radar.
The fact that there are people in lavatories and standing up means that the seatbelt sign is not lit
Did the pilot have seven hours of sleep and drink enough water?
@@jessicaregina1956Long haul flight has more than 2 pilots. Sleep bunker for pilot to rest is also available in B777. Every pilot has to get recertification for license to fly every 6 months on proper flight simulator, testing on various emergency flight situation.
This is why humanity has failed to urged the learn the errors of their ways, be it Boeing and the passengers breaching passenger laws. Shame on those who have carelessly forgot their seatbelts on.
Let's pray for all Singaporeans for all of this disturbance involved. Thank you Thailand and terimah kasim 😢❤🙏
Wishing the injured a speedy recovery ... and may the soul of the deceased pax RIP ...
damn, it crashed 6 days after my birthday
I'd say again...its bad omen. Lawrence wong took over PM post on 15 May then immediately the next day on 16 May a young promising fire fighter died while fighting a fire on board a china vessel berthed on our Spore water. Then followed by our national pride SIA flight"s turbulence accident which had a passenger killed n many others critically injured on 21 May. Why why why!!! Why all these happened soon after lawrence became prime minister??? OMG let's hope no more disaster happening again!!!
mocking the pm? better watch what you say ah
I always think ...stop spending on finding new weapons and rather spend money in new innovation for safe flying medical health.
