What else he had to do having 100 people injured, including a dead man? There is a protocol, he literally followed the protocol. Not saying there is a tower control that is on the line nonstop, an dthey also consult and decide. There are many people involved in the decisions, but there is also a very obvious rule to follow: a person with open wound is a reason for emergency landing, and he had half of the plane with blood! There was no other decision ever possible. He ordered emergency landing, the closest region control discussed internally and decided to bring them to Bangkok, because all nearby cities are small and the aircraft was on a high position to descend there, the plane needed the drop of a high and so, it was anyway Bangkok after all calculation. More questions are coming to the tower control who guided the flight on the rout, were that ppl from Thai or Myanmar, who had some unclear situation with the air condition and that resulted in incident. A big investigation is definitely to take palce there, and high chance details will never be shared to the public.

My son traveled to Thailand and I’m praying for these people also! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I just made a comment about the Bay of Bengal. Years ago, I was travelling via Qantas to Mumbai and I've noticed that the turbulence was so bad. Then, over the years with my travels with different airlines, I've noticed that it was the same.

The 10-second actual event was an immediate vertical drop, likely from a significant downdraft. It doesn’t glide down, it drops. I experienced this while on approach to Newark NJ. The plane, in clear skies, suddenly dropped 1500 feet. Passengers had seatbelts on, but several flight attendants sustained injuries. It is a terrifying experience. My heart goes out to all on board.

Actually it happens fairly often...my Father once told me his beer and himself hit the ceiling..He landed in the aisle ..his beer left a froth ring on the ceiling.

7000ft in 6 min (1166ft/pm) is within normal rates of descent. (As described by this reporter) When a passenger goes from sitting to hitting his head on the overhead bulkhead or another does a somersault in his seat is when forces on the wings are higher enough to briefly accelerate it downwards at a rate higher than the acceleration of gravity. Simply said, if you are not strapped to your seat, the ceiling will come down on you faster than you can free fall. There is only a couple of feet of space between your head and the planes ceiling, so it doesn't take a lot of downward movement to bang your head pretty hard. The FDR (not CVR) will tell us exactly the altitude drop that the aircraft experienced flying into severe turbulence that was not known or reported beforehand. Depending on location, mountain wave turbulence could have also affected the aircraft quite severely. Until we have actual data, I will fly any day at a descent of 1166ft/pm with a cigar and a drink in my hands.

It might be sudden drop due to turbulence but not captured by flight radar 24 then control descend of 6000 or 7000 feet which was captured by flight radar.

It's not unusual to have no warning of turbulence, I've flown over the top of a cyclone returning to Australia from Bali, the cyclone was tracking over the North West coast of Australia. The whole aircraft was tossed around like a rag doll, from memory it was a Jetstar 737, and turbulence is always worse in a smaller aircraft. I only found out about the cause of the turbulence from the Singapore based stewardess. Don't worry about turbulence jets are built to easily withstand any type of turbulence. Turbulence is very common in the convergence zone between Australia and SE Asia as are severe thunderstorms and high altitude hail and torrential tropical downfall.

My sincere condolences to the passenger who passed away because of this incident. Reports from Thailand say that there might be another fatality. Fingers crossed that that is not accurate. I just have some questions to clarify about this news report. How is a 6000 feet descent in 5 minutes considered to be doing this much damage? For the metric users, it means 1200 feet per minute, or 366m per minute. For an aircraft that was travelling at an altitude of 37,000 feet, at 930km/h...how is a descent of 366m per min detrimental? Furthermore, on Flightradar24, the plane was shown to be facing BKK when it descended at that rate, in line with how pilots descend for an emergency. So it makes me think if the emergency was faced earlier and the pilots intentionally descended accordingly to make BKK. Secondly, reporter says that plane is no older than 15 years old. This aircraft was indeed 16 years old according to Flighradar24 that she had cited earlier on. That is definitely an error unless it involves receivership of the aircraft and maybe delayed usage of it. I would like to caveat that I am no expert and I am not implying whatever I shared to be accurate. These are questions that raised up and I would like to clarify with anyone who might be knowledgeable in this field. My sincere condolences to the deceased again. Hope you will Rest In Peace, Sir.

Can be it took place earlier, but still was air pocket...maybe there is some trouble with controllers...some need to show the event taking place later, so the previous zone under one controller will be out of scandal...

I did know a flight attendant who told me she hit her head during a sudden drop. I was horrified and told her I'd never fly agin if that happened to me.

I think video’s expert pilot entirely missed explaining rate of descent aspect. Yeah, plane might have dropped 7,000ft over 6 minutes, its rate of descent during turbulence WAS NOT however 1000 fpm. That’s a really confusing statement, where to make things worse, he elaborates even further it was not THAT much. Common! That was only AVERAGE descent rate over 6 minutes. Turbulence according to witnesses lasted about 10 seconds and descent rate during that time must have been many fold if not tens of times bigger than 1000 fpm. Cracked ceiling panels are best testimony to that. People were experiencing vertical negative Gs and hitting ceiling with their heads. Descent rate during turbulence was nothing short of brutal - that what he should have said.

in a progressively ungreen world...keep the seat belts on...

"Very unusual to be no warning". Very unusual indeed. Maybe there WAS a warning, but it wasn`t heeded. Maybe it was heeded, but the plane`s systems malfunctioned. There has been no confirmation of what caused this incident and everyone talks like they know exactly what happened on that flight as if they were in its cockpit. On top of that there is this insane notion that the people who didn`t wear seatbelts (with the fasten your seatbelts sing off) are somehow responsible for the turbulence.

I make absolutely sure to chk weather patterns and weather expectations before I even start planning a trip. I know this is not always possible in last minute unexpected travel, but no way am I flying during monsoon, rainy, or hurricane season. I learned my lesson flying in rainy season to the NE coast of Brazil, and had the most horrendous experience with turbulence; I thought we were not going to make it. The 2nd most horrifying turbulence experience happened from NYC to Caracas during an Atlantic hurricane and the 3rd one was from SIN to BKK...I see them vertical cumulus clouds and I tremble! Of course, wearing a seat belt at ALL times!

There’s nothing more scarier then a 0 gravity drop On a short flight from Joburgh to Durban (45 mins flight) just started dropping and everyone went flying BA was our carrier and they said Notning no why no when nothing After that flight we wrote our wills

This is why SQ is my airline of choice and why I try to pick flights on the 777-300ER. SQ is a great airline with great pilots. This also proves the Boeing 777-300ER can handle a lot! I wouldn't want to be on any other flight / plane in a situation like this...

Its the monsoon season in that region and flights csn get very unpredictable South of the Himalayas, esp flying over Myanmar

Yes, keeping seat belts on whilst seated should mitigate the worst of these occurrences . That cannot protect completely against any heavy baggage that may get released from the overhead compartments . Should the on-board weight and size limits be reassessed ? The cabin crew will be particularly exposed to this situation . For my own confidence : can anyone confirm (my belief) that there is no record of a passenger plane being downed by turbulence ?...

Give the pilots a word! Saved the plane and even though this happened! And people hurt! Pilots are controlling this as skilled pilots

Search on KZread: The university is hostile to computers. It basically explains how cosmic radiation can cause bit flipping in computer chips. There's been a few incidents now where aircraft have suffered from this phenomena.

Weather radar shows areas of turbulance ahead of aircraft, provided radar is switched on?

No. Weather radar only shows turbulence related to clouds and thunderstorms. Clear Air Turbulence is not detectable

Fast AND gradual? If it is fast, it is not gradual. If it is gradual, it is not fast. It cannot be fast and gradual.

The changing weather is becoming extreme and it's may not safe to travel in air in the future

More likely 6 seconds, not 6 minutes .

No. Look at the data. Pretty normal decent after the turbulence happened.

The 6000 ft drop was the initial approach. It looks like.

a heart attack is not killer turbulance

I was on a C-130 flying from walter reed to shaw AFB, SC in the 70's and we got hitwith a downdraft. It felt like a giant hammer hitting the plane and we dropped instantly. I couldnt tell you how far down we went but everything hit the ceiling that wasnt strapped down everyone had seatbelts on as we were starting to descend. Most of the people had just come from medical procedures so there were people on gurneys. The sound was deafening like a massive explosion. Nobody was hurt but everyone was pretty shaken.

it was most likely "wake turbulence". Thats when you fly in the same air where a large aircraft just flew. It has no warning and can be very dangerous.

How sensationalist do you want it? Reporter: Yes

Turbulence may harm you but wont harm the plane ....

Rubbish. It descended 6,000 feet in 3 minutes after a sudden drop where there was a prior seat belt warning in order to avoid any further turbulence.

A controlled descent! Yet again, the media trying to gaslight the situation.

He is not answering the question as to what the plane was physically doing during this drop.

Weather phenomenon. 777's have an amazing safety record.

We all know that we obviously can not predict this specific kind of deadly turbulence yet, so it was of course “no warning”😅 Be sure to fasten your seatbelt every time no matter what! Apparently not all of them followed this rule!

Not unusual to have no warning. I am an experienced flyer through that corridor. Turbulence over the Bay of Bengal is common. Sometimes planes drop with no warning.

what are you talking about? The destinationof this flight was Singapore. what do you mean by saying that they were about to land or descent. All after all, why do you even talk about Clear Air Turbulence as obviously there was nothing to do with it. According to weather image which was captured in Flight Radar. There were tons of thunderstorms in the region unless the image was mistaken. So what causes the incidence was observable.

Nobody during this interview says the aircraft was coming into land. I think you don’t understand English very well. He was saying that 7000 feet in 6 minutes is comparable to (perhaps even slower than) the rate of descent when a plane is landing, and that some of the descent in this instance may well have been intentional by the pilot in order to go with the air pocket rather than against it and possibly to reach a lower altitude where there was less turbulence. Although it was a fairly sudden dive initially, there was prior warning, but there are always idiots who ignore safety instructions and think they know better. I was on a British Airways flight a couple of days ago, where there was a lot of turbulence in very hot, sunny, clear weather crossing the Italian Alps, which continued as we made our way over the Greek Islands to the north coast of Africa, and even when the seatbelt signs were on, there were morons getting up to go to the loo and acting all surprised when the stewards and stewardesses told them off and ordered them politely back to their seats. The whole reason turbulence is unsafe is because it can be abrupt, so seatbelt signs should never be ignored, and obviously if you’re not strapped in and even walking around, an otherwise non-event where the air current suddenly directs the plane downwards becomes an event.

Terry said turbulence is not uncommon but such turbulence is very unusual because you out get warning from planes in front of you and weather reports. That statement in itself should cause further investigation. To see if other aircraft’s after this one experienced anything similar. O I hate turbulence, I hate turbulence, I hate turbulence. In fact I try not to fly unless I have to.

Its almost certainly the food trolleys flying around...ally frames..weighty and have wheels until airborne inside a cabin. They are suppose 2b locked in after use...but perhaps the turbulence was encountered during a food serving etc...and they were out being used.???

6000 ft drop in a matter of minutes, that is some Final Destination horror. If its a long haul flight it's undetstandble if some passingers are walking around to stretch, and some to use the loo. Most times there are people standing outside the loo as well waiting for their turn. The officials will most likely not release the name of the person inside the loo, if there is any, to not embarass the passenger.

The plane flew between 2 tunderstorms which hiding a thirdand plane hit what called the rear flank downdraft.

Its Boeing's right? R they sure its not another part or door fell out of the plane?

This region has experienced such events many times in the last few years R

7 thousand feet in 6 minutes is not an overly excessive rate of descent 1,160 fpm, what are you people talking about, !!

Wrong it is

She is an excellent presenter..

Closing to south east asia turbulence quite a lot, fly a lot to there. Always strap yourself cause the turbul nice quite strong there. Just always wear strap

" A commercial aircraft will typically descend at between 1,500 and 3,000 feet per minute." Where is the drama at 7000 feet descent per 6 minutes?

@hugostiglitz6914

I think it's probably because the rate of descent was uncommanded. And I mean over that 6 minutes I'm sure the pilot was trying to maintain level flight and it was descending for whatever reason.

You do not remove seat belt when in a car, why some are so fast to remove seat belt after takeoff

I have only ever flown once, that was back in 1986 and have never flown since. I simply cannot stand the feeling of not being in control, the eerie sensation of there being nothing between my butt and terra firms and the sense of impending doom. Still have nightmares about it to this day.

Was there any point of having this man on?
