I’m Thai. I can translate a few:
1 passenger dies (at the aircraft) British nationality. The airport director said the doctor will give information but what he’s know more less is probably heart attack because the passenger have heart disease.
7 passengers = critical condition like head injuries etc.
23 passengers + 1 crew = medium injuries
16 passengers = small injuries

This is why I keep my seatbelt on every minute I am in my seat and minimize being out of the seat as much as possible. So tragic :(

He's saying the plane bounced like pogo stick on steroids.

Clean air turbulence is very difficult to detect or predict. And it can be severe. Short but severe.

[@BrandyHeng007]

Airlines filthy rich , quickly submit your personal injury claims

[@dizonovsky2000]

Bless the Thai people....

[@buddhidev7877]

My deepest condolences to the deceased and his family.

[@gumballdarwin2330]

Already confirmed one died who had the heart problems.

[@keithduffield5239]

Beverage carts are dangerous weapons in turbulence.

[@Boediprasetya]

must lock into place

[@lin90210]

the title says London-Bangkok. Another news channel says London to Singapore. Your description says London to Singapore...which is it? jeezzzzzz

[@airs1234]

It was flying to Singapore but was redirected to Bangkok. So it’s sort of both.

[@kaixuanlee8057]

London-Singapore. The plane was diverted to Bangkok for an emergency landing.

[@ngwei2255]

No is flying off frm sg to london

[@lin90210]

OK got ya. They changed the video title in the end

[@lin90210]

It just wasn't stacking up at first. Poor people will want to know clear information in case their loved ones are on that flight

[@samuelodonovan]

Someone had passed away during this flight

[@Matt-sb3zo]

It’s all about profit and fuel efficiency. They do not care at all about passengers safety. Most flight companies

[@jonnypity5013]

just easy way for safty don't always go abroad

[@ZABD306]

Singapore Airlines pilots are sub standard. Too many close calls.

[@AZ-ze5xb]

This old man never rode the london buses 🤔

[@willowsloughdx]

The passenger got stir flied.

[@hitalia2000]

The weather is more extreme than before. Flight traffic is higher. Pilots and air controllers don't care about passengers safety or comfort.
