This folks is why when the captain or cabin crew tells you to put your seat belt on you do it without argument.
Feeling sad to see all these.my. Condolences to the grieving family.
More climate change BS the sea hasn't risen, the weather was warmer when I was a child 50 years ago.
@@d.ch.e Yep it's really terrible.
ALWAYS WEAR A SEATBELT DURING FLIGHT ✈
Hi! Just wanted to share that this incident is very rare, apparently from reports in Singapore, passengers had just finished their inflight breakfast and some were queueing for the restrooms hence so many of them were not strapped in. And unfortunately, there wasn't any warnings from the pilots nor the crew as this was a sudden violent turbulence.
I always put on my seatbelt during the entire flight, regardless of what the seatbelt sign indicates.
You are supposed to. Some flight instructions video tells you this. The seatbelt sign when off just means you can get out of your seat to do stuff. But when seated, you should still keep the seatbelt on. When the seatbelt sign is on, it means no restroom or getting food at all.
Same. Moving at 600mph through different air densities just feels very... fragile
Same
This is devastating. ..pilots did well to land and prayers for recovery for everyone
I fly with the belt on. Take it off for the bathroom, put it back on when done.
That sums it up as simply as possible. This is a "people not wearing their seatbelt" issue and NOTHING else. This could happen on ANY type, or MANUFACTURER of aircraft.
@@PilotParticiptionTrophyWinnernah this is way bigger than that. An investigation needs to occur
Geek.
Same for me
I wear a seatbelt in my car all the time. So why shouldn't I keep my seatbelt on all the time in an airplane, too?
Right? Never understood the mindset of people needing to be unrestricted
Surely some of the injured must have been on the corridor waiting to use the washrooms or on their way to their seats?
@DM_1313 that's fair. We don't know where people were located prior to the accident. At least, I haven't researched it. If you know where they were, let us know. It looks like a few of the injuries were from sitting down since they wouldn't have hit that part of the ceiling if they were in the aisle.
@takumi2023 one passenger account said that one of the serious injuries was a man in the washroom, and another person was waiting outside. I do not know of others but from another passengers' account he helped two ladies who were seated, so yes maybe belts were loose or not not fastened. I agree though, always wear the belt when seated!
@@DM_1313 - Passengers from third world countries who defecate by squatting, are often puzzled by airplane toilets, and will actually put their feet on the toilet seat and then squat down to defecate into the toilet. Balanced precariously, they are prone to falling when even minor turbulence is encountered. Maybe that contributed to some injuries.
This is why you should wear your seatbelt. R.I.P., Jeff Kitchen.
I've been in turbulence so violent I'm amazed the plane held together. I can't imagine what terror these people went through.
I always have my lapbelt cinched.
The pilots are hero’s here,I can’t imagine how difficult it was to fly the plane
Actually not difficult at all.... do not believe all the media hysteria.
@@Q1776Qif it’s not difficult, why pilot school exist then?
@@user-uj5ly1eq5nThat was not the correct question for the point you were trying to make lol.
@Q1776Q I am in a pilot school now , and I can say it isn't easy at all, it's not like your typical car license that is easily obtainable
@@nchmusic99 I'm a pilot..and have been in moderate to severe turbulence a few times... if you are wearing your belts and harnesses..it is really no big deal... it can be a bit unnerving though.
Cabin crew should now wear helmets during food service and food trolleys should have something attached with the ground like rail line so that any turbulence occur during flight damage would be minimum
Though rail system would increase weight on a system designed for lightweight.
I can't help but cry for 73-year old Kitchen, he literally was scared to death and he was on going to australia for a holiday, I just can't help but cry. The pilots, airlines, singapore and thai authorities did really well though to handle the situation after the turbulence
I swear I’ve never this many plane incidents in my entire life. This has to be the most plane incidents we’ve had this year.
You should have seen the 1980's. That was the wild West back then.
@@WeFreestyleForeverPablo blew up a plane didn’t he?
It seems like the media now reports every incident.
@@ljacobs357It’s exactly this. Not only are we now bombarded at every turn with the coverage of certain things, now nearly everyone has a smart device that is delivering these stories instantly from around the world. It leads to the woefully uninformed believing there are dramatic increases in certain events, when in actuality, there are often statistical decreases.
Air travel has never been safer in the history of air travel.
That can happen to any airline
Can you imagine the flight that the door that flew off & the people who were next to it thought having to sit there until they could get to a airport & land?????😳😱
Please never it should happen.😭😭😭😭🙏
Yeah I was thinking if I was the one near the hole, would I sit tight and belted or try to unbelt and move away from the hole. Might get sucked out while trying to move but might get sucked out stil in your seat ….
Worse, you got to pee or poop.
Nah just do it in your seat if you already decided to stick it out there.
You must be female
So so sad. My mom was in a really bad one last year with turbulence and a storm. She said everyone was crying and praying. She doesn’t scare easily but was definitely scared for the first time when flying.
The Alaska plane that lost its door plug has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the story (about deadly turbulence). The story has nothing to do with Boeing either.
I was thinking the same thing. Probably Airbus is paying them to blame Boeing.
@@raymahone5600 Why? Because 'Murka is gud, whila ALL them thar furrigners is bad?" Irrelevant dumbness.
This is exactly why I don't fly.
I don't fly either, no thank u. 🚗 or 🚂 only.
@@NjD.... I want through turbulence once. I don't know how the plane held together. And that was it for me. Thanks for your reply and have a great day!
I fly. I just don't go into cheaply made submarines 😂😂😂
Me either
@@NjD.... but then you’re stuck on one continent for your whole life. That’s not good enough for me.
Clear air turbulence. Keep your seat belt on.
Sad the "expert" doesnt mention how rare a 100ft drop in turbulence is, the worst is generally 30ft.
I just realized that the headrest on Airbus can be bend on the edges. The seats for long distance doesn't look comfortable
It's up to the airline to chose what kinds of seats go in their planes, not Boeing or Airbus.
Hope everyone will be ok what a traumatic experience
Singapore airlines are one of the best airlines in the world it’s turbulence that made it very difficult to encounter thanks to the pilots to land safely
“Travel like never before” was an actual thing
In 1989 I was returning home to Massachusetts from Orlando with a friend on a Delta. The plane was old, from the mid 70s I believe, seats were ripped and cabinets were hanging off hinges. There was rough turbulance the entire time and I spent the flight with my seatbelt on, gripping the arms.
The best video made about this incident. Well explained.
Prayers and condolences to family and friends of the deceased individual, so sorry for your loss. Prayers for those injured in this incident for healing and a full and complete recovery. 🙏
Pray for all passenger
Rip grandpa❤❤

1:06 that's not where Bangkok is. That's probably around Siemreap, Cambodia. :P
I thought having a plane drop 100ft, you almost have a zero gravity feel, isnt not?
Maybe at higher altitudes. Their body was still moving at the same speed and height so they flew into the ceiling.
It’s the same reason that a motorcycle rider can fly after being hit.
When I fly I always keep my seatbelt on during the flight unless I have to use the lavatory.
This is why you’re supposed to wear your seatbelt when seated during your flight……..
If I'd been on that plane going through this, I'd have literally sh*t my pants faster than DJT.
At this point we are all very afraid to use newer Boeing planes
Old ones too
Nothing to do with Qantas or airplane type. Such turbulence has always been happening.
Not seat belts or climate! The Boeing is consistently having major problems around the world. A little critical thinking here would help save lives! DEI should be considered here & Boeing's policy changes in part year.
It’s not about the plane. People will find any way to hate on the company 😂
It's over the Bay of Bengal, it's an error prone area for turbulence.
I'm praying for the families.
ABC News, you made use of so much ancient stock footage of Singapore Airlines in this report! Kai Tak Airport long gone and the Queen of the Skies SQ retired ages ago! Trying to make the report longer than necessary?
I experienced the same issue from Kenya to Dubai.
Were you visiting Starvin' Marvin?
Have airline confirmed whether it was happened due to engine stopping or air pocket?
Yack yack yack the safety record of air travel is amazing & miraculous really a true human achievement 🙄
지진이나 화산 활동이 빈번한 지역 통과시 대기가 불안정하고 진공이 형성된 지역으로 들어설때 일어난건 아닐까요 ? 인공위성과 비행기에 대기 밀도를 실시간 관측하고 비행경로를 가이드할수 있는 시스템 구축이 필요하지 않을까요 ?
There must be a whistle blower on board.
Wind shear is the killer. In 16 years of flying, I've experienced some harsh CAT. Nothing compares to hitting a wind shear situation. It can feel and sound like a midair collision with a violent altitude shift.
Love how they twisted this story into being about global warming LOL
They can't let a good tragedy go to waste.
They can't let a good tragedy go to waste.
Because it is. Maybe you’ll begin learning more about it when you reach middle school.
Those seat belts are not there for just take offs & landings, ya know ?
Always keep your seat belt on!! Pilots and Flight Attendants are heros!!
Not only did the passengers have the bad luck to encounter such turbulence, as fate would have it, they had to be in Boeing plane. They're lucky the doors and windows didn't blow out.
It isnt 737
What, no actual video of the event?
Inside of the plane looks so bad. The passengers must have gone through hell but they survived except for one (RIP). Its a miracle. The captain did a good job by diverting and landing the plane safely. May this be a lesson for everyone to keep their seatbelts tied until they land.
Did the crew helped? All the reports did not mention the crew nor the pilots. Just the turbulence, the man who died, those who were injured.
This could have happened to any airline. Singapore Airlines textbook response….is exactly why they are ranked no1 👏🏽👏🏽 well done.
Why do people taking video in portrait mode keep surviving 😥
What happened??
Always wear your seat belts.... 😂
Put your freaking seat belt on. And I know damn well planes have them. 🤔
سبحان الله ضل من تدعون إلا إياه
Congratulations now you know what the seat belt is for. Even though it's a little too late. 🤔
I’m confused other sources said 6000 ft… BOEING NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
What does this have to do with Boeing?
Tell me u don't have a brain without telling me u don't have a brain:
What did Boeing do? And you cant investigate Air. Nobody did anything wrong.
@@frmerrin2 Boeing is already being investigated. Unfortunately, businesses rarely allow for an investigation that they can't control the outcome to. What we have learned so far from the inspectors and whistleblowers regarding Boeing, is that similar to other businesses, they have been sacrificing the quality of their products, to make more money. Contrary to the popular thought that the best businesses are the last ones standing, sadly what really happens is that the most profitable business, is the last one standing. that is a big difference. to make more money, a business must constantly make their products worse, by using cheaper ingredients. Also, by firing workers and forcing the remaining employees to do the job of 3 or more people at a time. this too sacrifices quality at the expense of the worker and the consumer. Many flight attendants have gone on strike to protest these inhumane working conditions. not surprisingly, pilots have recently been joining the flight attendants to protest the horrible working conditions. Bad quality planes and overwork. All in the name of making the shareholders at Boeing more money.
@@frmerrin2It’s a Boeing plane owned by Singapore Airlines
New aircraft have gotten so good at using weather forecasting and radar to avoid 90% of turbulence that it's caused complacency among passengers. Back in the 1960s only the worst turbulence could be avoided and that was mostly based on reports from other aircraft on the same routing and very basic weather forecasting. As a result passengers learned to expect it at any time and were careful to keep their seatbelts on. I remember flying back from Hawaii in 1967 in a Super DC-8 when we encountered what was around 45 minutes of severe turbulence (2-3 seconds of freefall and then being slammed in our seats) yet there were no serious injuries despite the coach food service just being handed out. Food did end up everywhere and the gentleman next to me got red wine all over his white shirt but that was it. At 9 years old it was almost kind of fun for me and I wasn't too worried as my DC-8 pilot father said that it was all going to be ok.
People forget the grace and mercy God has on us.
He takes care of all people.
May We glorify and thank Him at all times. Everything is in His hands ✝️❤️🙏✨️🕊✈️
Protect and look and look after us, Lord 🕊✨️🙏❤️✝️✈️
It doesnt matter what kind of weather condition are actually during the flight.
Fasten your seat belt every time when you sit until the aircraft arrived the parking position.
What a nonsense report!
What on earth does the cargo door problem of a 737 have to do with turbulence?!
I can't imagine, I think I would have fainted
Thank You Thai people ❤
don't EVER FLY INTO the HIMALAYAS
But you can walk into the Himalayas 😂
I got an idea ...if you are afraid of flying then don't.
Im 54 and don't ride on commercial airlines for a reason
You are confusing FEAR with actual danger...driving in a car is thousands of times more dangerous.
I put on seat belts from start to finish line...Partly being scared of flying !
I should probably use a car for now
4:32 why is that unhinged woman hitting that man?
That's why I keep my seatbelt loosely buckled all the time.
Part of what seems like increased instances of severe turbulence is something to do with Climate Change. Should seat belts be compulsory at all times?
🤣🤣
...more people fly... more turbulence... action, injury...
0:50 1:08 2:35 3:28 5:27 5:37
Why did the pilot release the oxygen masks?
I always have my seatbelt on when I fly
Turbulence is very common now and getting stronger - this is why people should buy insurance for air travel.
Wake up call for the whole world. 😢
I like how people speculate about things like this. I wonder if any of these commenters were on that plane? Were you a pilot? If you dont know what you are talking about, you are better off shutting up.
Keyboards warriors on board what else!
You don’t have to be a pilot to understand the dynamics involved. If you can’t understand why flying over the Tibetan Plateau is much more dangerous in ANY airplane than flying over, say, Kansas, then it’s not because you aren’t a pilot it’s because you flunked high school physics.
That's why I keep my seat belt on no matter what.
So sad
I don't why to fly near a storm. I'd rather wait. I'd have a heart attack.
I mainly keep the seat belt on the entire flight no matter what the sign says unless I go to the restroom. This is cus I don’t want to sit on the buckle or having to dig it out from under someone’s butt if it slips out of my seat onto someone’s else chair or dangling in the aisle. These seats are small, no place to put that giant buckle besides on top of me. Now Sudden turbulence is now an added reason to keep it on.
This turbulence nothing to effect passanger... If turbulence heavy captain will inform to atc to permission to flight high level... Every passenger need seat belt n site probably it enough
Did AI write this story? It starts with turbulence, and ends with the door plug again? How are those related in any way? No wonder I don't miss watching "the news" anymore - it's been dumbed down beyond belief
If it's Boeing, I'm not going.
It’s a 777
@@user-if9rk1kb9fget on that plane, you’re on the way to heaven

It’s turbulence. It can happen to ANY airplane Boeing or Airbus.
This is my greatest fear. Which is why I’m heavily medicated while flying!!
The aircraft is a 777 but the A350 is used in the animation... classic poor journalism
Animation uses A380....
@@timkono5645 I was referring to the flight track that started roughly at 0:53
@@solotrippin09 ah gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
“Climate change/global warming” please.
I've probably been on 70-something flights in my life, and I couldn't wait to unlock my seat belt when the Fasten Seat Belts light was turned off. I will be keeping my seat belt on at all times now. Only once did I experience turbulence strong enough to knock a person's full tumbler of water out of their hand, and it landed all over me in the back of the plane. Of course I had no clothes in my carry-on to change into. I won't make that mistake again, either.
Great video thanks for the upload hit that like button and great news
And thats why i always keep my belt on at all time while flying
Because posibli the pilots cant predict when are they going to hit bad weather
If it wasnt Singapore Airlines there would have been more fatalities.
Please wear your seat belts at all time.
Is this bird Boeing 777?
OK people. WEAR your seat belt at all times while in your seat. Don't go wandering around the plane while it's in flight. WEATHER is NOT the "fault" of the AIRLINES. Stay in your seat and ALWAYS wear your seat belt........ Geeeeezzzzzzz
No amount of god was going to save you! Those pilots did 😂
Exactly! God won’t even bother to protect children from being assaulted when they come to his churches.
God was behind them though
@@trashtvinternational hiding in the cargo bay?
How many of badly injured were not wearing seatbelts???? Should have only been a small number ie going to toilet, up having a stretch or crew up and working. When someone tells the horror of being woken up and being thrown across the cabin 🤦🤦 Zero sympathy. Considering others with zero injuries saying they glad they had seat belts on
Ive been flying for 23 years and i can tell you the 2 absolute worse airlines for turbulence are Alaska and American Airlines. Stay off of those at all costs.
Not having your seat built on means you get injured or you DIE!
Its extreme turbulence, why blame the pilots? There is no travelling without risks. Why Spore Airlines has to apologies for turbulence i do not understand.
During extreme turbulence keep your seat belt fastened and watch the show as the flight attendants go weightless. During the confusion steal whisky from the booze cart when it sails by.
😂😂😂🎉
when pilot saying use your seat belt then use it! nature and weather is out of human control
My husband is a pilot, and he thinks that the pilot went to sleep and fell on the stick and the copilot must’ve been out of his seat at the time, my husband and all his years of flying never experienced any turbulence
No turbulence that severe did he experience
LOL. Ya, sure! LOL
Makes me wonder why the pilot could not foresee as bad weather was ahead. Anyway, flying on Singapore airlines while typing this. This does not take away from the fact that Singapore Airlines is by far the best airlines that exists in 2024. And I flew 80 flights this year' with over 25 different airlines. Wish others could emulate the service, yes that includes Emirates, Qatar etc.
