A tragic incident occurred on Singapore Airlines Flight SQ321 from London Heathrow to Singapore, resulting in the death of one passenger and injuries to several others due to severe turbulence. The Boeing 777-300ER jet was diverted to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport after the turbulent episode, which caused extensive damage to the cabin ceiling and scattered debris throughout the aircraft.
Images from the scene reveal cracks in the cabin ceiling and food, cutlery, and other items strewn across the floor, indicating the force of the turbulence. One passenger described a “dramatic drop” that launched those not wearing seatbelts into the ceiling.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of wearing seatbelts during turbulence and the crucial role of cabin crew in ensuring passenger safety. Singapore Airlines has expressed its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased passenger and is working with authorities to investigate the cause of the turbulence and provide support to affected passengers.
