an airplane is a moving object, always wear your seat belt.
so simple.
exactly... seatbelt stays on unless I'm going to the restroom. End of story
I use to be a flight attendant; you are absolutely correct.
Blows my mind how many people I hear around me unclicking their seatbelt as soon as the sign goes off. Then obviously they just stay sat in their chair? I assume their mindset is light on = must wear seatbelt. light off = must not wear seatbelt. Amazed they manage to get on the right flight.
I always do. Only time I take my seat belt off is when I use the restroom then it goes back on
Yep don’t go to the toilet on a 12 hour flight ok….
I was on a flight once and when the seat belts sign went off the guy next to me took his off while I loosened mine a bit but kept it on. He looked over at me and in a passive aggressive tone said "Nervous flyer huh...". Later on we did hit some bad turbulence, hit an air pocket and the plane dropped like a roller coaster. I watched him launch out of his seat and smack his head on the ceiling. He was OK, but left with a lump on his head. It was hard for me to keep my mouth shut...
Where u from?
Passive aggressive lol
I wouldn't be able to resist. lol
@@ceooflonelinessinc.267 . None of your business? lol
Let's not use this UNFORTUNATE incident to sell the Climate Change AGENDA! Glad to hear there are no deaths.
I travel to India from US and of course I wear my seat belt, except when I go to the bathroom. Turbulence is very much part of the journey, especially when we over the Atlantic ocean.
Don't you get scared of turbulence. Genuinely asking, i have never been in a plane, Too scared to fly
@@mustafaashraf3744 no it's usually like driving on a road full of big potholes but sometimes the plane just drops down altitude is when I get a little eerie.
@@rakeshk761 Okayyyy. I hope I get courage to board a plane one day.
I have to appreciate the efforts of the pilots, crews, passengers, Myanma and Thai radio control, and Thai emergency response team.
Singapore Airlines is the best in the world. It is an unfortunate incident.
Can't imagine that the highly regarded airline had experienced such a drastic accident.
Ppls like you talk with no brain so stupidity why not you fly yourself lols blaming the airplane you are nuts
It's the force nature that's out of any airlines control.
The fact the pilot can still land it safely still a feat
@@alx9099True that.
I always keep seat belt on
That’s definitely unfortunate for those people but I would never fly on a plane with out seatbelts doesn’t make sense
Have you ever flown internationally on a 20 hour flight? Have to use the toilet sometime during those hours.
What a trump guy that believes in seat belts? Incredible.
That was my thought exactly. This family wasn't traveling state to state. This was a very long international flight. As such you MUST spend some time out of seat belts at least every few hours. If you don't you set yourself up for bloodclots & other problems you really don't want.Yes, in general, it is a very good idea to wear your seatbelt in an airplane. Most people know that but on a international flight or attending your children 😊.2:29 2:29 international @@methemonkeyking
Unless using the restroom, ALWAYS ALWAYS have your seatbelts fastened securely. Be one with the plane. Also, if traveling overseas far away from home, investing in repatriation insurance is a good idea. Medivac flights from Asia can cost $100,000+.
My friend paid roughly $25,000 USD for a medevac flight from the Philippines to the USA. He also had to pay the cost of eight seats in economy for the space for the stretcher and two attendants. Total cost was around $35,000. I know every case is probably different, but I wanted to share my friend's experience.
@@NotExpatJoe Hey, thanks for contributing.The more information the better. When with my Thai friends I get kidded a lot because I don't ride jet skis or motorcycles while in Thailand. When I tell them it voids my insurance they don't quite understand because not a one of them has insurance for anything. It's a Buddhist thing i am sure. Lol
Never heard the family 'speak out'.
They 'typed out'
In a thai hospital with a broken neck and broken back. The last thing I'd want is to be interviewed.
"Fake news media" as Trump says
@@pkal244the content creator should not use then a title "family speaks out" people get annoyed...
Who is taking care of their children? This report is really devoid of any investigative reporting.
That's hardly newsworthy. Geez.
Turbulence is a natural part of flying. It might be rare that it happens but it happens. Just like when you're on a cruise ship and you enter rough seas. It happens, just expect the best and be prepared for the worst
The vast majority of people don't even understand the inherent risks of just stepping onto a plane lol, the facts are as follows: You are in a metal tube (for lack of a better term), travelling at 500 to 800mph, and with a ceiling of 30 to 40 thousand feet, engines that produce 150 to 250hp and can provide 134,300 pound force of thrust. People think we live in a perfect world where horrible things probably only happen to other people than themselves, but as soon as you step onto a plane, the odds of something going wrong is greatly increased, even when planes are parked on the gate with grooming and maintenance, there are still risks too, I would know, I work at an Internation Airport. People also don't know how immensely crazy it is to keep airports functional and free of delay, the turn around time on planes is crazy bro, like 60 mins to get bags and cargo off, to the carousels, through the maze and pops out into baggage claim, then you have maintenance, then you have grooming, them you have to get all the bags onto carts and load them onto the plane, while the fuelers fuel the plane, mechanics checking over things, bags are put in the belly of the place, the places pushes back and taxi's to the runway, people...at any given time, there are between 25 to 30 thousand planes in the air at once...lots of hard working people keeping the airports functional and operational. People bitch about things they know nothing about, they demand clean planes, every desire must be met or else they complain like children online. People actually try sneaking into the lounges at the airport lol, and probably the most retarded thing the airport has done is provide the men's room with a tampon machine.....bruh, I am not joking, and they provide a special garbage bin for said tampons....shits like living in a waking version of South Park.
@@jamesglandon3737 You're talking nonsense. Commercial flying is the safest form of transport ever.
Driving: 11.3 deaths per billion vehicle miles traveled.
Flying: 0.07 deaths per billion passenger miles.
You are 12 times more likely to die from a vending machine than die from a commercial plane crash... How many people are scared of vending machines?
please keep your seat belts fastened at all times.
False title. The family did not speak out, at least on THIS video.
We did see Strahan's silly smile
More fake news.
They did speak out by posting on Facebook.
And the Climate Change scaremonger is mandatory it seems.
Taught the same they never showed any speak out
Singapore Airlines is one of the world’s safest, that’s why it landed safely!
You’re from Singapore and paid to say that. Do not trust this foreign plant, folks
Huge shout out to the Pilots..Dam that's a strong plane
As a frequent flyer I am blessed to not be in this situation. The fact that everyone (almost) got safely to the ground is testament on the safety of the aircraft and skillful of the pilot. God speed and good recovery for everyone.
Yes,we all knw tt we predict the earthquake,hurricane etc.
Why you are so flying so frequently?
@@ceooflonelinessinc.267 family visitation, sometimes for leisure. twice a year overseas.
@@ceooflonelinessinc.267 leisure travel and family visitation overseas. Twice year. Been at it the past 8 years now.
@@ceooflonelinessinc.267been trying to reply but UA-cam keeps removing it!
Family visitation and leisure travel twice a year overseas. Been at it the past 8 years now
Why is the most basic fact missing? Was this man and his wife wear their seat belts or did they ignore the advise given at the start of every flight?
Probably totally ignored all the crews advice and safety announcements- like a lot of dumbasses!
I wonder how many people wh were injured were wearing their seat belts. As the pilots and flight attendants say, always keep your seat belt on. Unless, of course, you need to use the restroom.
Wish them a speedy recovery ❤
KEEP. YOUR. SEAT. BELTS. ON.
I’m curious since it wasn’t mentioned, but were the parents not wearing their seatbelt? It’s absolutely awful hearing about their situation, but I’m wondering how they ended up that way if they were buckled up.
They weren't.
Wear your seatbelts. I've always worn mine when I'm not using the restroom. It's too risky.
Singapore airline is one of the safest if not the safest airline. It's just an unfortunate accident..
Singapore Airlines is rated the best in the world for meals, in-flight entertainment, and hostesses. They are ranked #13th for safety.
@@NotExpatJoethat's still in the list of one of the safest airlines in the world.
Keep seat belt on at all times. I started doing this decades ago after reading about how turbulence can happen quickly and unexpectedly.
I don’t remember an international flight that I have been in, that did not have turbulence. Every single time I fly over pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean.
Everyone on that plane should be paid millions of dollars for that terrifying experience
Bro said energy into the atmosphere like that's supposed to make sense
He could've said heat, though energy could be equated with heat in physics. Much more heat interacting with naturally cold temperatures tens of thousands of feet in the air is the issue.
Solar storms cause a lot of atmospheric disturbance.
Wear your seatbelts at all times
Good to hear thier children didn't hurt thanks God thier angel take care of them
Many passengers are not wearing seatbelt when anounced to wear or removing it once the staff leaves.
Would this happen if youre buckled in??
In reply to your comment, no for the passengers who were buckled in would have remained in their seats (though mentally it would be a terrifying experience.) For the unfortunate passengers who were not buckled in will have been thrown up into the air when the aircraft dropped so suddenly. I fly frequently and i always take note of the safety briefing before take off. Which states that it is always recommended to stay buckled in whenever you are seated. I know that the seatbelt sign is switched off after takeoff but in all honesty i think that it should be left on. I know that you are always going to get those who are not buckled in no matter what. Always better to be safe than sorry. I think that it's a miracle there weren't more fatalities 🙏
@dawnphillipsonallen16 I used to fly for a living, traveling service tech. I also always remained buckled in, no reason not to. I was just shocked to see how many people apparently weren't. And there's probably a great possibility that one or both parents could be paralyzed.
Someting as simple as wearing your seat belt and still people can't figure it out.
The title has nothing to do with the content, the thing is after this incident, i will not be surprised if all airlines will implement seatbelts at all time to be ON apart from using toilet or other reasons
Always buckle up when you’re on board.
If USA has a network of high speed rails; atmospheric turbulence will be less of a problem. People will just take trains between Nashville and Raleigh-Durham, or Charlotte and Pittsburgh. We will see if air travels in domestic USA, will still be viable in the next 150 years.
😂I won't be here..neither will you.
So use this incident to emphasis the reason YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT WHEN FLYING.
Always be seated and wear seatbelt in the air. Turbulence are unpredictable and can be dangerous. This incident is an example and warning for air traveler.
At first they reported storms over Myanmarr then they said clear air turbulence. So which is it?
God Bless Everyone ❤
Keep your seat belt tied. When you walk to the bathroom, wear a helmet
Can’t believe no one on the flight recorded during the actual turbulence.
probably the last thing on their minds when they think they’re plummeting to imminent death….
Their hps were thrown up too.
I think that says how bad it was that there were no phone recordings. It also was fast and very bad. I’ve seen pictures of blood on the ceiling, and carpet areas of the aircraft. I believe it happened during meal service thus why you see broken plates all over. I heard of at least one person getting burnt from hot water, coffee, or tea. Poor flight attendants that were up serving people their breakfast.
It should show nervous flyers how strong a plane really is. Very rarely does a plane crash from turbulence. It happened once in the 80’s, but that was due to a special weather phenomenon that caused extreme turbulence. If people are curious about turbulence and planes, I highly recommend Mentour pilots UA-cam channel. He has a great video about turbulence.
so those that were buckled up didnt get harmed by the turbulence? aside from objects flying around and hitting them perhaps
Bay of Bengal / Andaman Sea is a very rough sea, I have experienced turbulence quite often when the airplane flies over this patch.
How American News exaggerated on their report ☺️ it was an unfortunate incident and i will still fly with Singapore Airlines.
there was death and broken back, broken necks. that's horrific.. all within TWO MINUTES flight. jeez zero empathy and proud of having no sympathy, so weird
@@ino7440 yes saying death and broken backs and broken necks is EXAGGERATED in this vid, is this person way of being cringe and an attention seeker
I was on a domestic flight of half an hour journey. The plane encountered with an air pocket and dropped a few hundreds meters. Cups and plates went flying. Fortunately no one was hurt but very scary.
The captain has no made any public declaration so far..
It's not for the pilot to make a public declaration. There's an investigation underway now and we will know what transpired from the investigating team once investigations are complete.
Sorry for he people injured and the gentleman who lost his life. I think seatbelts should not be undone except when u go to the washroom. It would prevent much.
Wear your seatbelts people!!!! And I bet they will sue the airline
Of course, in this litigious world. You can't sue God (act of God) so sue the airline. I've already seen Aussie media where lawyers are talking about suing. I'm sure they want their pot of gold.
Did they wear seatbelt? If not, that's their own fault
It's a very rare and sad case for SQ. Besides confirming that there certainly will be huge lump sum payouts from claims on the insurance policies of those affected passengers/victims of SQ Flight 321, will Singapore Airlines Ltd, the CEO and its Management settle this potentially expensive Class Action dispute via 'Out of Court settlement' if the families of those who died, got hospitalised and warded in ICU who underwent intensive surgeries for their spinal cord injuries and/or head injuries, yet end up paralyzed with consequences such as paraplegia (no sensation below the waist), comatose, semi-vegetative state, PTSD, memory loss, anxiety-depression, etc, require all the long-term future family, nursing, psychological and social work support for the rest of their lives?
When the light goes off you always immediately hear clicking of the seat belts. I guess if it doesn't click in your head...
I was on plane to London SQ A380 it was severe turbulence
the airfare includes 1 complimentary ride to "Six flags in the air"
speedy recovery to all however guess the kids are okay because they did what 'clever' mom &dad didn't, sit in their seats and wear a seat belt
What’s “TURB-OH-LANCE”?
Was their seat belt on?
Absolutely not
Airlines are negligent- they need to keep the fasten seat belt sign on the entire flight…sue the airlines so they take responsibility! No brainer!
Deadly turbulence? The guy died of a heart attack! That’s misleading, Deadly turbulence implies he died from injury as the direct result of the turbulence. This is like saying a man died of stroke in a car crash resulting a minor paint scratch a “deadly crash” technically he died in the car but its not deadly crash. Geez.
I think its fair to say its a 'deadly turbulence'...Would he had a heart attack if the turbulence did't occur though ?
@@ryanyounes8162true. But the guy, apparently had undergone heart surgery as he had been suffering from heart issues, according to his neigbours and friends.
What was deadly?
@@MrAlexwilburI believe it was a man who died..wife injured.
An elderly man had a heart attack. Loose items, equipment, and people in the cabin got thrown around in the cabin during the rough turbulence. It's not a good feeling, I know. Back in 2003 I experienced the same thing on an Alaska airlines from Anchorage to San Francisco. Only difference is, my plane shut off completely and fell more than 1 mile.
How did the avionics miss the turbulence ahead?
There's currently no technology to detect clear air turbulence, the most dangerous, which is suspected in this case.
@@eduardoking8402 From: h tt ps : / w ww . reut ers . c om/graphics/SINGAPOREAIRLINES-THAILAND/movaqnmeava/
There were severe thunderstorms in the area.
Save soil, mother of all life
*better than going missing in MH370. Think again!*
Let me ask you all a question: this is for all passengers in road vehicles in all countries in the world: USA, UK, Asia, North America, South America, Australisia, All African Nations:
Question:
you enter a vehicle and secure your seat belt in accordance with the laws, the vehicle moves ahead and your journey begins, do you then undo your seatbelt just because your journey has begun?
If so, why?
I never understand why some people don't keep their seat belts buckled when in their seats. 🤦🏽
I hear so many people unbuckling and just sitting there once the seat-belt sign is switched off.
It's as if they want to show some act of defiance.
Just keep your belts on unless you're about to move around.
Why is that so difficult for some people to understand.
The injuries can be very severe
I think it's time that airlines required passengers to wear their seat belts at all times while seated; I've done so for years. And the industry should do more research into possibly designing cockpit displays that will allow pilots to see areas of clear-air turbulence and thus warn passengers and cabin crews to remain seated.
In this day and age, do you think it would be possible to mandate? It would be considered authoritarian and there might be outrage from those who don't like to follow rules.
@@eduardoking8402 In most jurisdictions in this country, it is required for drivers and passengers in cars to wear seat belts. So why should airliners be any different?
@@eduardoking8402unless.you gotta pee...yes, I would like to see a mandate
Because,.well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
Starts with s headline sbout the Singapore airlines turbelence event but quickly changes to pages and psges about incidents in the USA. Poor reporting.
There was no mention of many passengers that were injured. How many were wearing seat belts? You have to be as dumb as a red gum fence post
Not to be wearing a seat belt.
Thanks for the positive comments about Singapore airlines ❤️❤️❤️please bulk up always 🙏
What can they say, that they irresponsibly unbuckled their seat belts? Besides that, nothing is important. Boeing is not responsible for anything that happened.
1:36 dude was laughing his a££ off
Seat belts work
Absolutely false that this is uncommon-these carriers file thru harsh weather because it is more direct.
omg this is very scary
This is why they tell you to keep your seatbelt fastened when seated.
Fly\ing is a RISK - irrespective the airline. SIA over the years has had an impeccable,record - the incident is unfortunate, it should however be investigated though to,pre-empt and to prevent future occurrences!
When you're taking off, and after a couple of minutes when the plane gets to the cruising line, the pilots are allowing you to take off your seat belts, not to keep them off the entire time, but have the permission to go to the toilet, then return to your seat and loosely put back your seat belt, or if you want to stretch a little, if the flight is too long and seating too much is making your back hurt, you can stretch for 1 min or 2 and then get back in your seat and put your seat belt back on. It's so important and some people are so ignorant, it frustrates me, because they will get hurt, and then ask themselves, why the hell are they hurt??? And end up blaming the pilots for not doing their job properly, when in fact they had to keep their seat belts on!
But at least the result shows that the airplane wasnt in danger to fail or crash.
So fasten seat belts.
The crazy thing is all the people who obeyed the warning of always wear your seatbelt while seated were fine. Hmmm, wonder why?
Speaks out??? It's not a conspiracy!! Your flying in a plane. The reason the aircraft safety is so extensive is because of the severe risks of Turbulence on ANY flight.
Que trizte. Y que lastima. No debieron volar en esos lugares que están serca l las gerras. Las explosiones delos missiles. Vuelan en la distancia.
Howvis this even the airline's fault
Hope no class action suit. Western world if sue will be very powerful. Did pilot warned passengers when aware of turbulence? Passengers may not understand the seriousness of turbulence if not strapped in. Minor turbulence without strapping in is still ok right? If kids in a school bus were told to be strapped in but they dont due to ignorance, is the teacher 100% excused? Who is the enforcer, for the lack of a better word?
Lets face it , people are getting dumber and quality of everything , even something important like the safety of lives , is fading 😂
Yeah 💩happens .. thats the chance you take when you get on a plane.. moving fwd already... why you ppl dragging this story out 🙄😮💨
El lino n la nina around, it's time for everyone to watch n learn to listen to authorities...buckle seat when seated....
Here we go with the script again. Can't let a crisis go to waste on a sensational story.
Praise for Singapore Airlines pilot to control and manage to handle plane very well, this have to lesson to remember safety belt always have to wear all times when are you remain seated, think for your safety and for children and baby on board, inside plane everything can happen anytime.
If the seatbelt light is off, nobody will fatten it
From what I heard from passengers who were interviewed, the seatbelt sign came on.
A year ago I wanted to go to the Aviation School to become a Pilot, unfortunately, I could not do it due to medical issues. I love aviation since I was a little kid and I've always been interested in the way the planes function and learned a lot about turbulences also. I always knew that at 40.000 ft the air can get rough at any time and cause the plane to shake and go through a lot of aggressive motion, which is why, even if you think you're cooler than other passengers, or you are the kind of person to 'break the rules' by not wearing the seat belt during flight, does not make you more safe. That puts you in a lot of danger, or worse, end your life if you hit yourself too badly. We all have to remember that we are sitting at 40.000 ft above the ground in a metal tube with wings and 2 or 4 engines dragging us. The air is not to be messed with, especially when there is a climate changing situation. Some turbulences can successfully be avoided and some not, because the pilots cannot see on the radar, what's gonna happen next. This type of turbulence dangerous and unexpected. Stay safe out there and don't forget to keep your seat belts on at all times.
Only media will be biased about Aviation! How much they paid to these Passengers to speak out?!
I stubbed my toe getting out of bed last week.....that was also due to climate change.....AND racism.....AND because of white supremacists......yeah.....that's definitely why. ;-)
Every single flight attendant has told everybody numerous times to keep your seatbelt fastened at all times but why listen to them they only know 100% of what they’re talking about. You’re not on a family cruise you’re on an airplane flying through the air which is already dangerous enough listen to the flight attendants that is their job. They know what they’re talking about.
All they had to do was wear a seatbelt and none of this would have happened
did the reporter say they try to look into the cause? what cause? it was the severe turbulence
Why is he reporting live from LaGuardia for a Singapore flight that happened in Europe?
Didn't you hear him referring to turbulence on U.S routes?
They put Trevor at the ramp of La Guardia airport because that's where you get the most up to date reports.. ...from Singapore.
Not that much Pain, if they are talking to the Lame Stream Media.
Crazy!
