A tragic event struck Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 from London to Singapore when the plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Bangkok after severe turbulence. The incident resulted in one death and over 50 injuries, some of them seriously. On Tuesday morning, Bangkok time, flight SQ321 was diverted after the aircraft dramatically plummeted. The Boeing 777-300ER with the registration 9V-SWM, which had 211 passengers and 18 crew members on board, was over the west coast of Myanmar when it suddenly plummeted by a depth of around 2.000 metres. The region was at the time affected by the onset of the rainy season and associated severe storms. According to Flightradar24 data, the plummeted flight occurred in an area known for its unstable weather conditions. In the tragic incident, a 73-year-old British citizen lost his life, presumably as a result of a heart attack, as the BBC reported from a press conference at Bangkok airport. In addition, 53 passengers were injured, including the deceased's wife and a crew member. Seven people are in a critical condition. The dramatic scenes on board the Boeing 777-300ER were documented by photos on social media. These showed chaotic conditions with scattered dishes and food in the cabin aisle. Eyewitnesses report that passengers who were not wearing seat belts were thrown against the ceiling of the aircraft by the violent turbulence. Reactions and support Singapore Airlines expressed its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased in a statement on Facebook and stressed that the safety and well-being of all passengers and crew is its highest priority. A team from the airline was immediately dispatched to the aircraft.
