First time I heard of someone died due turbulence. I thought all are strapped in?. I never unbuckle my seat belt during flight.

[@mikewood8695]

that kind of thing could easily bring on a heart attack, so if the guy had been tripple jabbed, as many millions are, then that kind of sudden shock and rise in stress levels could be enough to set off a heart attack - millions around the world all now have myocarditis or pericarditis thanks to the clot shots

[@pustakarileks7404]

30 injured, probably hit the massive storm, look at inside cabin, it's so messed

[@PChan-yt4uf]

You do not. But many do.

[@kaiserlow652]

heart attack

[@isDatBoi]

Cancel booking 😢

[@lfah610]

RIP 🙏

[@speedbird-777]

That's why it is always recommended to wear seat belts, even during comfortable cruise phase

[@mikewood8695]

that's quite some turbulence!

[@collin_mmarshall1655]

I'm curious on how the person is dead. Was he not on the seat belt or hit by loose luggage or heart attack.

[@dallasyap3064]

Trauma wounds from blunt force probably

[@mikewood8695]

sometimes turbulence hits without warning and before folk can return to their seats and put on belts - many times I've been thrown around whilst walking down the aisle and with no warning from the cockpit - there are some large air pockets that can suddenly drop the plane fast

[@Videosforboredpeople-bt3np]

He died from a heart attack he was 70yo

[@verypleasantguy]

Kudos to the pilot for saving the whole plane !
Air turbulence like that could toss an airplane like toddle tossing a plastic toy
The question thus, why didn't Singapore Airline divert their planes *_AWAY_* from that awful storm ?

[@jessicaregina1956]

Kudos to me for making a RUclips comment!

[@jessicaregina1956]

Planes really can make big flight deviations. They have a lot of fuel to do so.

[@Asuraunl]

I think boeing problem again prob some avionics issue related tot he radar

[@jessicaregina1956]

U should make more tube comments

[@mohdariff1619]

I also wonder why..not divert

[@user_cv8wysmstt]

That is why when flight attendant ask you to fasten your seat belt, *THEY ARE NOT KIDDING!*

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Better check the guy that died wasn’t another whistleblower, Boeing might be getting creative with its disposals.

[@OneSixSun]

Try telling that joke to the family of the deceased on this flight.

[@KIMMIUNA]

ok i will just wear seatbelt the whole flight. 😣

[@Lithiumplays]

2024 is out of hand

[@gts6536]

Any airline in the world will similarly face the possibility of this wrath of mother nature. So, there is no such thing as the Best Airline here or there in the world. Get well soon for those unfortunates in this trip.

[@teofilol2666]

Boing Boing

[@hadzr5446]

ofc its boeing

[@orderpac]

boeing suck....

[@tazboy1934]

Israel and usa is to blame

[@tanmingqiang8613]

God, I swear yall Palestine supporters are more extremist than Israeli supporters themselves. Why do you think they are both to blame? It literally says right there in the title, "turbulence".

[@jsohyp]

pap is to blame

[@a.rahmanhassan7982]

Rambo has to blame too

[@Sunny-yh3vf]

​@@jsohyp>>>Lu Ciak Sai la.😂😂😂

[@brianliew5901]

You'll never know; those people will create chaos wherever they've an opportunity. The more distractions the more opportunities to implement their evil plans. 😢😢😢😢

[@azrulaznizan]

Yikes Singapore Airlines is just so bad lately , not a good look tbh

[@ExplodingVolcano777]

Cant blame them when a sudden air pocket causes turbulence that forces them to drop several thousand feet in a matter of minutes.. the issue is why did the people not listen to put seatbelts on..
