Thanks Thailand for taking care of our passengers. Condolence to deceased’s family. Stay safe mentally and physically for the rest of passengers.

Hat's off to the Pilot for saving the airplane and the rest of the precious lives such a crisis situation !! Very unfortunate incident..

Thailand-Samitivej hospital is very good. Surely those injured passengers are in good hands and be safe 🙌🏻

Extremely grateful to the Thailand authorities and the Thailand people for helping SQ321. May the injured speedy recovery and deepest condolences to the family of the man who had unfortunately passed away due to this freak natural disaster.

Wishing everyone injured a speedy recovery 🙏🏻 ❤

Always put on your seat belt when seated even though there is no 'Fasten Seat Belt' sign switched on

This journalist May gave a really insightful breakdown of the situation, probably the best one so far with this incident

That's why it is important to ALWAYS wear your seatbelt even if the seatbelt sign is off. Turbulence may occur at times and can be sudden.

It was a 73 year old man died of heart attack. Injury due to head hitting ceiling due to plane being rapid descent.

Speedy recovery to all the injured victims and condolence to the family of the deceased. 🙏

The pilot did his job calmly as he managed to get the plane out of the red zone.

I'm from Thailand, from the movie "The Impossible" Where British Family were found themselves in casualties and the insurance company takes them to Singapore for a secure treatment. Two decades later, SQ caught in a turbulence and the pilots lends a help towards Thailand. We have the world class medical center than before and among the best. Hopefully, any fellow Singaporeans who are returning home tomorrow, may wishes them a pleseant flight home. Stay Safe from Bangkok 🇹🇭❤🇸🇬 🤗

Thank you SQ pilots and crew as well as Thai aviation, ground and healthcare authorities for the swift action. Deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, and may those who sustained injuries recover fully and completely.

For those who fly regularly over Thailand, you will know that the turbulence in that part is always sudden and severe. I am always terrified when entering that part because you will not know what will happen. So always strap in when seated.

This professional female reporter pronounces very accurate name of Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport. She's so professional in minor details.

Singapore Airline Pilots are really,really great..👍👍👏😘..we also encountered turbulence before and i can't count how many prayers i did during the flight bec.of the turbulence but we managed to land safely..Thanks to this high trained Pilots 🙏🙏🙏😍🥰🤩..

Salah, the flight is from london to Singapore, not the other way... on site reporter must be very stressed.

Family members need to be notified first before News channel can give more info.

The female reporter outside the hospital seems to understand the nature of the incident, in contrast to the guy who talked before her. He thinks that the passengers got injured during the emergency landing, but probably the pilots decided to make an emergency landing precisely because some passengers without seat belt had already been injured or killed due to severe turbulence. The airplane was probably undamaged the whole time.

May the one who have passed on rest in peace and condolences to the family. May those who are injured have a speedy recovery and get well soon

During monsoon season, Mother Nature claims her victims. Yesterday in Bangkok, the sky sparkled and thundered, creating a scary atmosphere even on the ground. Speedy recovery to all the injured and condolences to the one who pulled out the unlucky ticket 😔

Reporter misspoke and didn't realize it, it's 6,000ft, not 60,000ft. But yeah, stay seated and keep your seatbelts on at all times. It's time to keep the seatbelt light on permanently.

Pray for all passengers and condolence to the victim who died🙏🙏🙏

I am an Ex Crew with SIA and have done this flts all the time without any incidents and I am grateful that all my flts has been smooth. It is unfortunate that this has happened and my prayers goes to all of them.

Praying for their speedy recovery ..Yogiram blessings.

This is my first time listening to this channel. The reporter gave an excellent description of the situation. (I might ad that I was impressed by the host for for her beautiful posture. I’ve never seen such an image before.). 🇨🇦

My condolences to the family of the demised and wishing all the injured victims a speedy and good recovery 🙏

Condolences to the family and speed recovery to the injured passengers.

This could have happened to any commercial plane. It would have to come from nowhere for the injuries to be so severe.

Get well soon to those affected passengers ❤❤❤

Descended from FL 370 to 310...6000' in 4 mins....probably under control @ 1500 fpm .

The question is simple Are they wearing a seatbelt during a heavy Turbulence? Or maybe that person dies from heart issue when the aircraft is dropped down.

That would be quite a few headaches after the flight

😢RIP to the family of the dead passenger, 😮hope the injured get well soon

from thai local news agency, there are 7-8 pp in severe condition now😢 May all the holy beings in Thailand help the injured to safety and return to their hometowns to see their beloved families.

Thank you!

Air turbulence is primarily caused by atmospheric conditions and weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, jet streams, and wind shear. These factors can create unstable air pockets or sudden changes in wind speed and direction, leading to turbulence that can affect aircraft in flight. In the case of Singapore Airlines Flight SQ 321, the severe turbulence encountered was likely due to thunderstorm activity or strong wind shear along the flight path. While turbulence is not uncommon during flights, the sudden drop of 6,000 feet suggests an extreme encounter with severe turbulence. Wearing seat belts is crucial during turbulence as it prevents passengers from being thrown around the cabin, reducing the risk of serious injuries or fatalities. However, in cases of extreme turbulence, even secured passengers can sustain injuries from the violent shaking and abrupt altitude changes experienced by the aircraft. The tragic loss of life on SQ 321 and injuries highlights the potential dangers of severe turbulence, despite following proper safety protocols.

Wishing all injured passengers speedy recovery. I am impressed with the preparations of Thai government in anticipation of the emergency landing. They looked very organized with a lot of paramedics around. Thanks a lot for all who have helped out.

I pray all the injured recover as soon as possible ❤

Deepest condolences to the families affected due to this unfortunate circumstance. To the fellow who passed a way, a best wish to their family, those injured, a speedy recovery.

SO SORRY 😢

Horrible to hear of this; well done to the pilots and crew; I have flown that route many times and always with SIA & Lufthansa; it is a bumpy part Bay of Bengal. I wish all a fast recovery - mentally and physically.

60,000 ??? Are you sure ? Someone needs to correct the reporter. it's a 6000 feet drop. A plane's cruising altitude is 35,000 feet.

Super speedy recovery

Sad, deepest sympathies, Get well soon.

My deepest sympathies to the family of the deceased as well to all the injured in this incident. Some thought has to also be given to the cabin crew that were very likely on their feet perhaps in the process of their duties. It’s quite obvious that the pilots had no pre-warning of this turbulence so the cabin crew would not be told to suspend any activity and be themselves securely seated.

Sad to hear about these ... Always traveling SQ from AMS to Singapore... Love SQ always...

Praying for all passengers

Singapore airlines have a bit of history. They dropped 6000 feet in 3 minutes which was probably a controlled decent to avoid turbulence after the sudden drop.

What a class! Highly professional reporting indeed. The second - the woman reporter - went the extra yard to dig out valuable information. Liked the decision not to reveal identities of the injured.

Not 60 thousands .. it's 6 thousands dropped in just a few minutes. Imagine if it dropped 6 thousands feet in a few seconds .. even more casualties.

The SIA plane is tough and sturdy enough to withstand the turbulence and made an emergency landing at Thailand in one piece.

Sad to hear but well presented newscast, very articulate and professional.

SAD !!! RIP !! FOR THAT 1 SOUL.

condolences to the dearly departed

2:40 Did he say aircraft had a steep drop of 60,000 feet ?? The approved maximum altitude for most commercial aircraft is 42,000 feet. Must be a mistake.

Error at 6:23 the plane was not flying Singapore to London. It was London to Singapore.

Can chk with singapore airline the lists of passenger on board

Pray for all passengers and Condolence to the victim who died 😭🙏🙏🙏

Deepest condolences to the family

Same experinced with me was turbulence in this area…..and the weather so clear that time, the plane felt drop, the coffee on table just hit the roop the cabin a people just shocked ….and shout loudly, from Europe to Sing / KL i can’t remember…was couple mounths ago thought should authorities more attention to that spot ? My condolences to the one was pass away and wish all the injures speed recovery 🙏🏼

Wear your seatbelts

2:42 Steep drop of 60000 feet? Maximum altitude ceiling is 42000 feet? A lot of explaining needs to be done and corrected pronto

Can I make a public proposal? Lots of people think seat belts aren't cool, so to make it cool again, how about we think of a way to link the seatbelt to the entertainment system? No seatbelt, no movie for you buddy. It'll surely cost a bit of money to retrofit every passenger seat in the world, but it's all in the name of safety.

It was a diversion landing not an “emergency landing”. Get it correct next time.

2:39 No way it dropped 60,000 feet. It would be underground if it did.

the last reporter need to get her information right before reporting, flight from London to Singapore not reversed, and also asking the hospital to reveal patient identities is just wrong and illegal in most countries. What kind of reporting is this sounds like TMZ

A drop of 6k feet or 60k feet in altitude? a commercial jet doesnt even fly that high. Better get your facts checked

It dropped suddenly to 6000 feet and not 60000 as the reporter said mistakenly - the plane was said to be flying at an altitude of 37000 feet initially..

what is the exact location/area where turbulence occurred?

Speedy recovery and hope the victim well, accident is unfortunate, however what is the best is learn from mistake, get well soon

Scary

Thumb up S.Captain! ❤❤ Mother Nature plays hard. Praying for all . Sorry for family’s loss.

Frightening. Just flew that route on Qantas with some minor turbulence . .

is it turbulence or turboeing?

But SQ has already released the list and numbers of the various nationalities onboard? Why is May Wong saying otherwise?

Wish everyone involved a quick recovery and can fly back home to their families. I feel traumatised!

Deeply sorrow n condolences on victims of tubulances sir. Condolences.... Thanks

Saksith,it’s 6000ft drop, not 60,000ft. Condolences to the family of the deceased passenger. For those who have not encountered serious in flight turbulence, let me tell you- it’s bloody scary. You’re mid air, the plane is jolted up and down. The shaking and vibrating can be felt and heard. The whole cabin is rattling due to the vibration. Not sure how many feet but the drop is felt and it’s quite violent. This was during my Singapore to Manchester flight, transit Bangkok before landing. Women were crying and screaming. It really felt like the plane was going to drop from the sky. Obviously, we made it. I was on Emirates Airlines.

At 2:43, reporter says plane drops 60,000 feet. Really?

Major error in the report here at 2:44 there is no way possible the plane can drop 60,000 feet. No commercial jet even fiies that high - around 42,000 would be the maximun alt that plane flew. Flight tracking data actually showed a drop of abt 2,000 feet over a rapid duration.

this just shows that how durable a plane is even after experiencing heavy turbulence. the plane will not break mid flight.

Boeing plane trustworty? C'mon Mae...

I flew many times to and fro Singapore and Yangon with SQ. I didn't experience much turbulence throughout that area. it is not a monsoon season yet. Boeing again.. is there any issue with the plane itself?

yes, it is important to wear a seat belt when you are seated. From this incident, you can now see what could happen.

It's terrible and I am glad to know that there is no more injuried persons. Congratulations to the pilots and the crew members to bring to take care of the passengers. However the woman journalist that comment that boieng 777 is reliable, of course it is. But authorities will have to investigate about this plane particularly, it's nothing about Boeing experience in the aviation.

Move on. We don’t need a mini series.

The reporter in Bangkok seems to confuse many things there, even stating the flight was from SG to LDN. Also, there are no such things as "air pockets", the atmosphere air flow and turbulence does not work that way.

Great support for keeping seatbelts as advised by airlines. I hope the airline is not blamed for his death

What is really actually happened?

May all the passenger recover from the shock & be safe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Surprise and alarming how weather changes. Strong turbulence above 60k ft height ?

Hopefully all safety

The cruising altitude of a Boeing 777-300er is only 35,000 feet. How can it dropped 60,000 feet??

Why did the reporter used the word "killed" at 2:00?

B777-300ER maximum cruise altitude is 43,000ft and not 60,000.

That’s why I don’t remove my seatbelt even when seatbelt sign is off. You can do the same things with or without the seatbelt. I only take off my seatbelt when going to the lavatory.

Stay strong ❤

god bless everyone, BTW CNA reporters are good.

Wait they died AFTER they made the emergency landing?
