Bangkok officials said that it was a UK man who had died of a heart attack.
Right now,there are thousands of passengers seated on a Flight, watching a movie, eating or sleeping without their seatbelts fastened, even loosely. On most flights, you are advised to do so even during the cruise.

United Airlines tells you to keep seatbelt on when seated.
What happened was passengers had been told to please keep your seatbelt fastened whenever you are seated and they decided , ( I do what I want ! ) Then when turbulence happened suddenly they got a no seatbelt on knot on their head and then called out , help me , help me . Next !
Passengers should be wearing their seatbelts at all time whilst seated, even on the toilet seat.

This is why I've always kept my seatbelt fastened. Through hundreds of flights, I've only seen bad turbulence twice, and had 1 engine explode during takeoff (on a twin engine turbo prop commercial flight). After watching all these debrief videos, i feel fortunate that's all I've encountered.

When a weather vortex hits ground level it's called a tornado. They are lucky the plane held together under the stress it was exposed to.
When you fly, here is what you need to know: You are in a pressurized aluminum can, 6 miles in the sky, going over 500 mph in air that is -50 F. Yet, people act as if it's their bedroom.
“Tilted up, started shaking, then a dramatic drop”. Sounds like a high altitude stall to me.

It’s often worse because of wind speeds coming from different directions.
This sounds exactly like the incident in the book airframe
They say it on every flight that I have been on, "If you are not moving about the Cabin even when the seat belt sign is off, still keep your seat belt on if seated at all times." I never take mine off unless I have to get up for any reason when "cruising" at high altitudes.
My wife is a flight attendant always wear your seat belt. Turbulence can come out of no where and if your sitting and your not with a seat belt then your body posture and the way your head is located is going to force your head to an object that is in place and it’s going to be a very hard hit
Also surprised is that the media weren’t quick to mention that it was boring and not due to turbulence. Bravo
2024 is just a terrible year for airliners
Why not emergency land at Yangon International Airport, which is closer to the aircraft meet airpocket. Fly to another 1 hour to Bangkok?
I can't imagine how the survivals will fly to Singapore, whether the shocked passengers may suffer from aerophobia or not.
wear your seatbelt
Passengers even sleep without belt specially if the next seat is open I am amazed everytime
It’s amazing to see all the utterly ignorant comments about this somehow being a Boeing issue. Please, just stop. Stop proving your gullibility to media hype. Rather be amazed that an airplane can withstand such a violent natural event and bring everyone, who actually listened to the pilot’s directions to keep their seatbelts on, home safely.

Usually, turbulence accidents rarely happen in the aeroplane. There is a reason why seatbelts are in place even, in midst of turbulence. It’s for your own safety. Those who got injured will need to learn their lesson.
Wear your seatbelt when seated at all times.
Sorry for the loss, seatbelt are there for a reason but often it is ignored for comfort. I will make sure my co-passengers are always buckled up.

ARROGANCE EVERYWHERE! the plane “FELL/PLUNGED 6000 feet in 3 minutes”. That = 2000 feet a minute. A NORMAL descent from that altitude will often start at around is 3500 feet…. which means in 3 minutes a normal descent would be closer to 11500 feet.
Wear a seatbelt. Its been advised for a reason.

Normally turbulence is associated with moisture raising and sinking in a weather system. Clear air turbulence is just raising and sinking air with no moisture. An airplane’s modern weather radar can detect water droplets using Doppler radar to detect weather turbulence, but not clear air turbulence.
