I traveled many times in 23 years working abroad i never released my seat belt while on board except when going to rest room for unexpected scenario like this, some passengers are not following the crew advised keep on your belt fastened at all times. Lucky for those seat belt fastened and very good job done by the pilot managing a sudden drop of 6000 feet god bless all flights,

Miss beautiful The spokesperson for FlightRadar 24 said regarding data showing a drop in height, "our initial thinking is the turbulence event is prior to the standard descent from 37,000 to 31,000 feet. That appears to just be a flight level change in preparation for landing. Turbulence-related airline accidents are the most common type, according to a 2021 study by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.

Firstly, it did NOT "drop" 6000ft. That was the controlled descent by the pilots AFTER the turbulence occurred. The real turbulence incident happened at 37,000ft with a variation of not more than a few 100ft within a few seconds before returning back to 37,000ft. The pilots after learning of the severity, decided to descend down 6000ft for clearer or smoother air or in preparation to divert to Bangkok. Secondly, it was NOT in thai Airspace. It was in Yangon's FIR when this happened, so it was in Myanmar airspace Thirdly, not exactly over the Andaman Sea but over the Irrawaddy basin in Myanmar. Such shoddy work and no research. You have a responsibility as a media outlet to deliver true, FACTUAL information to the audience, not just half-baked information you get from your sources, don't you double check and verify your sources before delivering the news?

And it was not for five minutes or even 15, it lasted for more than 20 minutes, at one point i can feel the sensation of falling, and the shaking. Was outright disturbing. Now I’m well travelled and used to flying to various parts of the world, but that was the only time that reminded me of my mortality. And i never went near Singapore airline’s ever again.

On long flights, in clear weather, passengers are allowed to move around. Can you sit strapped for 15+ hrs? However, if cloudy, bumpy wx was felt, then the crew could've warned the passengers to 'return to seats and strap up.'
