One person died and several others were injured after a Singapore Airlines plane was hit by severe turbulence as it was traveling from London.
The Boeing 777-300ER, which was traveling to Singapore, made an emergency landing in Bangkok after it was diverted to the city.
In a statement, Singapore Airlines expressed its condolences and said it was working with the authorities to provide the necessary assistance to the passengers.
It also noted that it was sending a team to the airport in Bangkok to provide additional help.
The government of Singapore will do whatever it can to help the passengers and their families after learning about the incident involving the plane, which was traveling from London to Singapore.
Chee Hong Tat, the country’s Transport Minister, released a statement regarding the incident. The exact details of the incident are still unclear.
Although severe turbulence is relatively rare in most cases, it can still lead to severe injuries and even cause a fatality.
According to John Strickland, an aviation expert, flight crews have the necessary resources to predict when and how severe the weather will be. However, in some parts of the world, especially in the middle of the country, it is more common.
Besides being well-equipped to handle the weather, flight crews also have the necessary training to respond to the effects of turbulence. One of the most important steps that airlines can take to prevent injuries is by keeping the seat belts loosely fastened.
