Within 16 mins the pilots managed to divert and start descending to Bangkok. And by the time they landed all was ready for the emergency. This speedy coordination surely is only made possible by existing relationships between countries, airlines, airports, public services, and international protocols. Great job, all who were involved and all who prepared for these kinds of situations.

I always buckle up even if i’m eating or just stationary. I only remove my seat belt when i need to go to the toilet…

The entire cabin crew and pilots need to be given a hero’s welcome. The pilots have done extremely well under extreme pressure. Well done🫡🫡. For the passengers injured during this flight, speedy recovery. God bless.

A small detail for the animators, but a big detail for aviation enthusiasts. The Singapore Airlines B777-300ER involved in this incident had a special Star Alliance livery and not the usual Singapore Airlines livery.

Those who likes to travel also must take risks no matter what mode of travel, that's the meaning of travel of course.

It’s not the airline’s fault for accidents

The pilots flew into the top of an imbedded thunderstorm through incompetence. They failed to accurately interrogate the weather returns with their radar. As an active international Airline Captain with 30 years in command of Heavies and Supers, your primary job is to avoid storms. Don’t expect an open and honest investigation.

Thank you Thailand for the speedy response.

If the seat belt sign was on, the unbelted passengers need to take some personal responsibility. Do we need the constant beeping on unbelted seats?

It's just a split second but the impact was extraordinary inside

Seriously, who doesn't wear seatbelts the entire time they're on the plane? This isn't the 1950s anymore.

Hitting the ceiling must have been painful...😮

I've flown countless number of flights in my life. Surprisingly, I also experienced some of my worst turbulence in this area when I flew from Singapore to Myanmar! It was a on a Jetstar flight and I've never been on a plane that bucked up and down that much. I remember looking outside the window and I could see dark/thick thunder clouds!

That’s why i always wear seatbelts 💺 throughout the flight, because you’ll never know when turbulence hits. Applause 👏🏻 for the pilot to stabilize the condition
