Turbulence normally would not kill you. It's heart attack that will kill you.

Pre-condition...so no need to pay?

Passenger describes 'surreal' horror on board flight​

A passenger on board the Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 told BBC 5 Live that a "perfectly normal" trip descended into terror.
Andrew, from London, said the plane "suddenly dropped" moments after the signs instructing passengers to put their seatbelts on lit up, sending objects flying around the cabin and leaving him covered in coffee.
He described the turbulence as "incredibly severe" and unlike anything he has experienced during his years of flying for business.
While the plane's fall only seemed to last for a few seconds, the scene afterwards was "surreal", Andrew said.
He recalled seeing an "elderly lady with an awful gash on her head covered in blood", while another woman was "screaming in agony with a bad back".
Andrew said he was sitting close to the British man who died of a suspected heart attack, and saw another man who was so badly injured he had to lie on the floor for the remainder of the flight.

Passengers tell of horror aboard turbulence-hit flight​

Passenger describes moment turbulence hit Singapore flight
Passengers have recounted scenes of "absolute terror" when severe turbulence hit their Singapore Airlines flight, launching people and objects across the cabin.
A 73-year-old British man, Geoff Kitchen, died from a suspected heart attack, while more than 30 people were injured when the London-Singapore flight suffered a sudden drop as a meal service was under way.
Briton Andrew Davis described “awful screaming and what sounded like a thud" in the first few seconds of the incident.
"The thing I remember the most is seeing objects and things flying through the air.
"I was covered in coffee. It was incredibly severe turbulence," he told the BBC.

Another passenger said the aircraft suddenly started "tilting up” and “shaking".
"I started bracing for what was happening, and very suddenly there was a very dramatic drop, so everyone seated and not wearing a seatbelt was launched immediately into the ceiling," 28-year-old student Dzafran Azmir told Reuters.
"Some people hit their heads on the baggage cabins overhead and dented it, they hit the places where lights and masks are and broke straight through it," he added.

The Singapore-bound Boeing 777-300ER diverted to Bangkok following the mid-air incident, making an emergency landing at 15:45 local time (08:45 GMT) with some 211 passengers and 18 crew aboard.
Singapore Airlines said 31 people on board were taken to hospital and the airline offered its deepest condolences to Mr Kitchen's family.
The Thornbury Musical Theatre Group, a local theatre company he helped run in South Gloucestershire, called him "a gentleman with the utmost honesty and integrity".
An airline official said that about 10 hours into its flight, the plane had encountered "sudden extreme turbulence" over Myanmar's Irrawaddy Basin at 37,000 feet.
The company said it was working with Thai authorities to provide medical assistance to passengers, and was sending a team to Bangkok to provide any additional help needed.

'People who had been standing did somersaults'​

Singapore Airlines also provided details on the nationalities of those on the flight, which included 47 from the UK.
Allison Barker said she received a message from her son, Josh, who was on the plane en route to Bali: "I don't want to scare you, but I'm on a crazy flight. The plane is making an emergency landing... I love you all."
After that message, she waited for a "petrifying" two hours before hearing from him again.
"One minute, he was just sitting down wearing a seatbelt, the next minute, he must have blacked out because he found himself on the floor with other people," she told the BBC.
Josh, she said, sustained minor injuries - but she is concerned that coming close to death could have a lasting impact on him.
Another Briton, Jerry, 68, was travelling to Australia for his son's wedding. He said there was no warning before the "plane plunged".
"I hit my head on the ceiling, my wife did - some poor people who were walking around ended up doing somersaults," he recalled.
A British man with a neck injury said he and his family were “lucky enough” none of them had died.
“It went from no turbulence... no plane shaking at all and then I was hitting the roof. All of a sudden, I was up like that.
“My son was thrown down on the floor two rows behind me. I heard that there was a guy hitting the roof in the toilet and he was injured quite badly, too,” he said, speaking from a Thai hospital.

• Flight turbulence increasing as planet heats up - study

Singapore's Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said the government would provide assistance to the passengers and their families.
"I am deeply saddened to learn about the incident on board Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 from London Heathrow to Singapore," he posted in a statement on Facebook.

Turbulence is most commonly caused by aircraft flying through cloud, but there is also "clear air" turbulence which is not visible on a jet's weather radar.
“Injuries from severe turbulence are relatively rare in the context of millions of flights operated," aviation expert John Strickland told the BBC.
"However, severe turbulence can be dramatic and lead to severe injuries or sadly in this case a fatality."
Flight crews are also trained in how to respond to turbulence, he said.
"It is not for nothing that airlines recommend keeping seatbelts loosely fastened throughout a flight, be it long or short," he added.
Aviation journalist Sally Gethin said wearing a seatbelt could be the "difference between life and death", explaining that anything not bolted down is at risk during severe turbulence.
Research has shown that climate change will make severe turbulence more likely in the future.

1 dead, dozens injured in SQ321 turbulence​

Ian Petchenik

• Updated: May 22, 2024

• Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 encountered severe turbulence
• 1 person has reportedly died, with dozens injured
• The flight diverted to Bangkok

One person is dead and dozens have been injured after Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 experienced severe turbulence over Myanmar. The Boeing 777-300ER was operating from London to Singapore when it encountered turbulence at approximately 07:49 UTC on 21 May (14:19 local time). There were thunderstorms, some severe, in the area at the time.

The flight departed London at 21:38 UTC (22:38 local time) on 20 May proceeding southeast toward Singapore. Based on ADS-B data sent directly from the aircraft, at approximately 07:49 UTC on 21 May, the flight encountered a rapid change in vertical rate, consistent with a sudden turbulence event. At 08:03 UTC the aircraft changed course and began a diversion to Bangkok. SQ321 landed in Bangkok at 08:45 UTC (15:15 local time), where it was met by medical personnel.

Flightradar24 data​

After processing the high-frequency ADS-B data for SQ321 and correlating the possible event time with media reports, we believe the turbulence event occurred at 07:49 UTC. In normal flight, some small variation in vertical rate is expected, however, at 07:49:24Z.824 the first ADS-B frame with an increased vertical rate is received by our network. There are unexpected changes to the vertical rate for nearly one minute before returning to 0 feet per minute.

Some media reports have erroneously reported the pilots’ initial descent toward Bangkok from 37,000 feet to 31,000 feet as the turbulence event. While the aircraft may have continued to experience turbulence during that descent, it was a standard descent to a new flight level controlled by altitude selection in the aircraft’s autopilot.

Data available for download​

Three separate files are available for download. The standard format CSV and KML files each contain data for the entire flight at our standard reporting frequencies. The granular CSV contains all network processed data from 07:00 UTC until the aircraft turned off its transponder in Bangkok.

Aircraft information​

Flight SQ321 was operated by a Boeing 777-300ER registered 9V-SWM (MSN 34578). It is powered by two GE90-115B engines. The aircraft was delivered new to Singapore Airlines in February 2008.

The damage is all over the place in the plane, including business class section. However, SIA protects the damage by censoring business class pictures and we do not know the details of business class section.
