- A Singapore Airlines flight hit severe turbulence over the Indian Ocean and descended 6,000 feet in a span of about three minutes, the carrier said Tuesday, leaving a British man dead and more than two dozen other passengers injured.
The flight was then diverted and landed in stormy weather in Bangkok.
Authorities said the 73-year-old British man may have suffered a heart attack, though that has not been confirmed. His name was not immediately released.

If you’re not using the toilet, stay in your seat and keep buckled in.
My thoughts exactly. And I will use the toilet only when I see there is no lineup as I don't want to be standing in a line in case of turbulence.
I'm experiencing turbulence on the toilet right now
Those seatbelt lights aren't just decorative. Who knew?
As a flight attendant this is why i say wear your seatbelt. I wear mine whenever im in my seat
I was on a flight from Hong Kong to Japan about 2 weeks ago. We went through turbulence that lasted over an hour. I can hear some passenger(s) were vomiting. While the PA announcement warned passengers to buckle in, passengers got up and moved around part way through that time period. Some used the washroom. Some got up to stretch their legs. Stewart's and stewardess warned passengers to buckle in but not all listened. Therefore I can see how unseated and unbuckled passengers can get hurt or die during a violent air turbulent event. It is unfortunate, but some just do not take the warnings seriously.
Seat belts on at all times.
I'm afraid to even go to the bathroom for a minute as you never know when turbulence can start.
why weren't they wearing seatbelts?
you are missing the new reality of flying
because the light wasn't on.
There is always someone not wearing a seatbelt when the seatbelt light isn't on. People tend to forget turbulence can come without warning and be quite severe.
Suddenness or arrogance combined with bad luck, I'd guess
It's not cool wearing a seat belt..I am a Jet setter😅
Wear your fucking seatbelts people. You keep it on doing 60 miles down the highway. Why wouldn’t you wear it going 600 miles an hour through the sky.
A tragic incident. I hope that the injured passengers and crew members have full recoveries. May the deceased man Rest In Peace.
Don’t worry. Thailand medical very advanced
I always wear my seatbelt, even when the light is off. Saved me from injury 15 years ago, we hit turbulence hard, dropped hundreds of feet in seconds, several people flew out of their seats and broke limbs, various injuries. I was perfectly fine... cus I had MY SEATBELT ON.
Looks like they may not be paying out those bonuses....
I was on an EVA air flight from Toronto to Taipei. Many times when the seat belt sign was on, I would still see people going to the washroom, walk to talk to their friend in another seat, etc. Just flabbergasted me.
I was on a 16 hours flight from Pearson International Airport to Manila Airport and I was wearing my seatbelt on at all times. We had a pretty bad turbulence especially over the Pacific Ocean. Wear your seatbelt. Airplanes go about 800 km./hour.
The pilot being interviewed sounds like he's piloting.
Boeing?
Yes it's a Boeing 777 but it's not a Boeing issue. Simply, turbulence occurs in almost all flights in the air. And that is why there are seatbelts signs and why stewardess stop/pause serving during turbulence. safely store large items. Still what a tragedy.
@@ScotchOnyxBoeing hits more turbulence than all others
Everything is a conspiracy theory now 😂. Ya'll are paranoid weirdos.
@@StuMarston no... it doesnt.

Me: A priest, a rabbi and a duck walk into a bar.
You: What? Why would a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar with a duck?. Have you ever seen that happen? Of course you haven't. And even if they did, I'm quite certain there are laws which prohibit animals in establishments which serve food and alcohol and they would be promptly ordered to leave. What you say makes no sense.
Imagine your the first British person to die from Turbulence and some guy named Phil Dirty explains why.
When they say keep your seatbelt fastened at all times when seated, this is why.
I now understand the feeling of indifference
That's sad.
2000 ft per minute is normal descending speed
That's correct during training pilots often practice between 2000-3000ft per minute.
Lol guys...it's turbulence. These were probably massive spikes in altitude over seconds, taking place over minutes. Take off your tinfoil hats and use your brains.
@wat2875 the vast majority of yt commenters live in those hats
@@wat2875 what are you even saying?
@@elena6516grow a brain, he’s saying that it more than likely wasn’t a smooth decent over 3 minutes. They went through 3 minutes of turbulence and ended up 6000ft lower. 🤦
Phil Dirty?
Oh man, what is it about that region of the world and planes? Did she say the expert's last name was Dirty? I hope it's spelled differently.
They had a heart attack. Click bait title.
and the other 30 passengers?
@@elena6516didn’t die
@@jasonrussell5265 amazing
Freaking scary!
You are told to wear your seatbelt. If you don't, it's your own fault.
Luckily it’s a Boeing, so it’s a very strong aircraft that can survive a rough weather like this. Boeing aircraft are overbuilt and a very strong, reliable aircraft.
Agreed. If only AA587 was a Boeing the entire tail wouldn't have just snapped off due to rudder movements resulting in a crash...
That man not wearing the seatbelt
Funny how airlines have been telling passengers for decades, decades of telling people to keep the belts on during flight. Well here are the results of not listening and pure stupidity
Ive experienced severe turbulence on a flight to Dubai, people passing out / throwing up. Ever since that day I wear my seatbelt 101% of the time lmao shit is no joke
The guy who died likely had a heart attack
Person either hit something or something hit the person in JUST the wrong way. Very sad either way
RIP SIR.
Yes people why not use seat belt since I am travelling since my teenage yrs I always wear seat belt, it's for our own safety
I always wear my seatbelr the entire flight. Turbulence, Wibdow breaks
Wear seatbelts ppl!!!
Aint cool wearing a seat belt inflight..want everyone to see i am a Jet setter😅
Phil Dirty..... Nice.
due to ever worsening weather conditions, i dont plan to fly again......this is the future of flying
Ahhhh yes. Climate change... 🙄
@@goldminer83not sure what the eye roll is for. You can debate whether we're having a significant impact, as ignorant as that view is imo, but the rising temperature makes extreme weather events much harder to predict.
@rockyevans1584 drinking the Kool aid I see... 🙄. I have my pilot license and know that climate change has nothing to do with jets streams of gusting air!!
@rockyevans1584 the eye roll is for all the dunces that believe climate change makes the jet stream winds be more erratic. They are wind, they are erratic!
@@goldminer83 hope you aren't one of the many drunk driving pilots, but your statement indicates you're drinking some spiked kool-aid. Ease up on the vodka, drunk boy. The rising temperatures create much more volatile weather patterns, it's making things harder to predict when they were never able to predict totally accurately to begin with. Genuine question here: how do you feel so confident about a global phenomenon when you have no education or experience in the field? That you can be so dismissive on such a nuanced topic that zero people on earth fully understand really speaks to how ignorant you are bro. Good thing your job is just sitting in a chair making boring comments to the passengers while the computers do their thing
😢😢
6000 feet in 3 minutes is nothing I’ve been in planes that lost more in a split second
Too much weed, broski
@@rockyevans1584 guessing you don’t fly over 100 times a year like I do not even that long ago on way to LAX our plane dropped 3000 feet I. Matter of seconds sent the stewardess and her cart to the roof and dumped it on the seats. Sorry but 6000 feet in 3 minutes isn’t a drop it’s normal decent 😂😂😂too much being a poor idiot who doesn’t travel for you broski
6000 feet in 3 minutes is literally what every plane does when descending now… “A commercial aircraft will typically descend at between 1,500 and 3,000 feet per minute”
@gasad01374 and the stewards usually hit the planes roof during those descents too, right? A controlled descent is totally the same as turbulence, you've really solved what wasn't even an issue. My man
@@rockyevans1584 guess you missed the part of the report that it’s said the descended 6000 in 3 minutes that’s normal defending speed. It wouldn’t do that but thanks for proving you don’t pay attention or know what you are talking about
Could it be due to el nino getting more extreme.
Not in that location it couldn't. El Nino occurs over the Pacific Ocean. This happened over the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, several thousand kilometers distant.
buckle up
what a pathetic set of questions to ask an "expert" LOL
Average Boeing experience
Who had power and control of the turbulence by Spirit not by flesh and blood or science? 😂
should we believe the reporting when the expert is dirty?... ;P
I'm,😡
It looks like the overhead luggage compartments might have opened and hit people with belts on in their seats. 6,000 feet in five minutes is a drop rate of nearly 100 mph, no wonder there are so many injuries. It is the Rainy Season in SE Asia and there are many huge storms around.
Actually the unbelted pax hit the compartments so hard that the compartments opened and some airbags dropped...that's what I heard from other newscasts.
6000 feet descent in 3 minutes is well within the normal ranges… “A commercial aircraft will typically descend at between 1,500 and 3,000 feet per minute”
Died from fear. 😢
He probably did. He had a heart attack. I probably would have, as I have this great fear of flying. When I'm on a long haul flight, I spent lots of time praying, especially when there's a slightest bit of turbulence and during takeoff and landing.
NGL fam. I've seen every episode of Mayday. From my end this doesn't sound like an accurate report. Hang tight on this one.
That's adorable. Do you want to be a pilot when you grow up? There is a reason TV drama is called fiction. The reason is that it isn't true.
@@ronsmyth2005 you were born in 2005 little homie.
@ronsmyth2005 you just sound moronic. You do realize mayday uses accident Investigations to tell the real story of a plane crashing. 🙄
@@user-id7oq2ps6b I was born in 1952, not 2005. Don't let the handle fool you. I'm 72 today in fact.
@@ronsmyth2005 you're 72 years old and commenting online calling people "adorable" as an insult and insinuating that they'll never grow up to be what they want to be?
Let me ask you, what did you want to be when you grew up? Did you achieve it?
If this happened on Air Canada, they'd be suing the passengers for denting the ceiling of the plane with their heads
🤣😂
Damn you Justin Trudeau
Boeing hearing this news must be shaking in their boots
Why? Nothing to do with them.
At this point it's all shade.
Didn’t the people have power and control of themselves or were they overpowered by a Spirit? 😂
one word….Boeing
Trudeau did it
Is turbulence what they’re calling Boeing issues now? (Boeing 777 from an initial google search)
If they we’re wearing their seat belts this wouldn’t have happened
lol chineses
Pilot Error...
