- Singapore Airlines: What caused the turbulence that led to the death of one and injured many? Tracking data captured by Flightradar24, a live flight tracker, revealed that Flight SQ321 was flying at an altitude of 37,000 feet at the time of the incident. It sharply descended to 31,000 feet, a drop of 6,000 feet over three minutes, and remained at that altitude for under 10 minutes. The drop occurred while the flight was over the Andaman Sea near Myanmar. In this video, Captain Amit Singh explains in detail what went wrong with the aeroplane. Watch.

I was a commercial pilot for 52 years nearly every day you encounter air turbulence it is part of flying you can not blame the pilot or the airline it is nature
Is also part of flying that the plane stalls?
Yes. It is also part of flying that you dies in a crash. It is what happens when wingless humans try flying in a metal frame fixed with a engine that can fail any time. Ism actually wondering why air crashes don't happen everyday. Our airplanes are very primituve compared to birds wings. I have never seen a bird die due to wing failure.
@@sumeshs8239 I watched MayDay series over the past few months and some a hundred real life air disasters were recreated and reasons identified. Among the hundred, pilot error accounted for 42% and much of that was caused by pilot negligence and disharmony between Captain and co pilot who flew first time together. Then mechanical and design faults accounted for 26% and subsequently corrected by aircraft manufacturers.
Maintenance errors accounted for 12% such as missing out a screw and not reach out enough when replacing parts. Only 8% was due to weather conditions and the remaining 12% was all other reasons, which included uneven weight distribution for cargo holds, using unfamiliar runways to avoid bad weather conditions, runway deficiencies and midair collisions.
I now hesitate to fly as I was also told by Airlines how badly pilots are trained and their ability to handle crisis situations are very limited because they are trained by the book and in simulators which do not cover crisis handling. Let's hope the younger pilots coming out of Air Forces do a better job by forgetting their Top Guns training and chasing women.
The pilot identity is a checkwa national maybe 😂😂😂
@@sumeshs8239 and this happens when you come from a country where 60% of people live in mud huts without electricity: ""you dies"".
Other traffic in the area deviated from the huge weather build up. SIA flew right next to it. Now the blame goes to climate change.
Exactly
yes extreme weather pattern will give rise to such turbulence in future
The truth will only be revealed after the flight recorders are examined by Boeing and a full account of what happened in the cocktail will place responsibility where it belongs. Let the facts and evidence speak for themselves.
No the pilots area to be blamed , when other traffic in the are deviated from the huge weather buildup , why these pilots flew next to it ??? That's the biggest Question now !!
Pilot error or its “boeing“,what else we can expect from boeing
Why didn't the pilot announce a seat belt fastening alert and a voice alert to the passengers ? Considering the weather warning announced in that area prevalent at that time !!!!!
Didn’t they ? Why did people not moving around have their belts undone ?
PV visit of Singapore
Ok, I get it, so this captain was there onboard that plane, right?
SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) apologised on Thursday (May 23) to an injured SQ321 passenger after he complained that the national carrier had not been forthcoming with information after the severe turbulence incident.
He had claimed that he did not receive information on whether he would be able to make an insurance claim, and that his wife, who is in intensive care, needed a medical evacuation.

Australian citizen Keith Davis and his wife had been on flight SQ321 from London when it encountered sudden and extreme turbulence while flying over Myanmar on Tuesday, forcing it to make an emergency landing in Bangkok, Thailand.
One passenger died from a heart attack during the incident while many others were injured, with some in intensive care.
Speaking to media at Bangkok’s Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital from a wheelchair and with his head bandaged, Mr Davis said: "No information from Singapore at all, not a single word."
“I need to know, am I going through my insurance? I got no idea. I’m totally in limbo. My wife’s in ICU (intensive care unit), she’s in ICU, she needs a medevac (medical evacuation).”

Responding to queries from CNA, SIA on Thursday said it "apologises to Mr Keith Davis and his wife, and is providing them with the necessary support and assistance they need during this difficult time".
The airline said that a customer care representative, who is a staff volunteer trained for such situations, has been in touch with the couple to provide updates and assistance.
SIA added it has made arrangements for Mr Davis' family members and loved ones to travel to Bangkok.

A total of 211 passengers and 18 crew members were on board the Boeing 777-300ER when it hit a sudden and extreme patch of turbulence over the Irrawaddy Basin in Myanmar at 37,000 feet.

Dozens of passengers were injured, with some suffering from brain and spinal cord injuries.
A 73-year-old British passenger, Mr Geoff Kitchen, died on the flight. Neighbours told reporters that he was headed for the "holiday of a lifetime" with his wife. Mr Kitchen's wife was among those taken to hospital in Bangkok.
SIA said on Thursday evening that 46 passengers and two crew members are still in hospital receiving medical treatment.
"The well-being of our passengers and crew members remains our priority," said SIA CEO Goh Choon Phong, who met affected passengers and crew members in Bangkok.

A total of 131 passengers and 12 crew members who were on board SQ321 arrived in Singapore on a relief flight early on Wednesday morning.

On the issue of compensation, an unnamed passenger who was on the relief flight claimed in a report that an SIA staff member offered monetary compensation to passengers before the plane left Bangkok for Singapore on Wednesday. He said he received S$1,000 in a white SIA envelope.
The airline did not address CNA's queries on this matter.
One channel tell the truth thanks everyone is blaming weather and goes under the blanket happily
What's the truth, can u tell me? I also dont believe in weather or climate for this incident.
I want to say the pay lot drive excellent 👍 job keeping up and also I want to say the family of pass way condolences 😂
facts are wrong....
I think the captains were sleeping
Maybe one of them was and the co pilot had difficulty handling the situation.
Flying the shortest distance has become for cost reasons a standard airline requirement regardless of weather conditions and flight plans predetermine that.
Captain Stalling is his name ?
It will happpen as planes are now in autopilot mode
@@sumeshs8239 and autopilot, which is so stupid, rigid and one track minded did not know how to handle the situation. Under autopilot training, the first thing to do in any emergency is to turn it off and revert to manual but this pilot did not have time to do both.
Very true sometimes guys This think is just so fast so you can blame the pilot and core pilot about this situation please 🙏🙏🙏 people the pilot he do the best
It’s about time that Singapore Airlines needs to lower their fare prices in line with all the other airline carriers..
