SQ321 incident: Relief flight arrives at Changi Airport with passengers, crew shaken
A total of 131 passengers and 12 crew members from flight SQ321 arrived in Singapore from Bangkok on a specially arranged flight. It touched down at about 5am on Wednesday (May 22). The original Singapore Airlines flight was forced to divert to Bangkok after extreme turbulence, which resulted in one death and multiple injuries. Aslam Shah reports from Changi Airport.

Due to my medical history, I'm kind of afraid of flying. But every time I have to, whether I'm in business or economy, the crew takes the best care of me when bad things happen and I'm sure it's no different here. Respect to SIA's crew members who do their very best every day to give us a peace of mind while traveling by air. And you do it effortlessly with class. Truly grateful. Huge huge props.
Highest respect to the skillful and experience SIA flight crew for bring the plane down safely.
Really hats off to the pilots to bring back the rest of the passengers safe to bangkok❤❤❤❤
now you know how serious the safety demonstration is ... everytime i am on flight while the crew is doing the safety demonstration, almost all the passengers never pay attention to them ... busy with their handphone, talking and laughing ... when it really happen to you then you start screaming and shaken ... so please pay attention to their safety demonstration

I wish the Thai medical doctors do their best to treat the patients so that healing come about and that they can reveal more information to the news media in time to come.

However, you may have noticed the Australian middle-aged injured male passenger who got interviewed via videocam with the international news media kept speaking out about the initial non-contact by the airline staff, then the paralysis of his wife from the waist down, etc... The Thai hospital staff tried to refrain him from revealing too many details about his and his wife's severe spinal cord injuries for fear of poor Public Relations (PR) resulting in his family's potential compensation claims exceeding the stipulated Singapore Airlines' travel insurer's maximum payout per severely-injured passenger as per agreed clause stated in the T&Cs at the point upon purchase of the air tickets. If all the passengers in the turbulent flight on board SQ321 decide under either arbitration or mediation to claim travel group insurance from Singapore Airlines' insurer, rather than separately as individuals, the payout claim per passenger, regardless of whether one was severely-injured then warded in ICU, required surgeries and hospitalised for days OR were merely treated for wounds such as lacerations and discharged within a few days, should be far lower.

Those affected passengers in the toilet cabins sustained some of the worst injuries, I believe. Their relatives mentioned them landing back on the ground in very awkward positions.
??? Still in air ?
😢ya Allah😢
Looking at the pictures of the food on the floor. It seem like the cabin crew are serving meals when the disaster struck at breakfast hour. Normally during meal time, people are more relax and will remove their seat belt. Some will go to toilet. May be that's why so many are caught unprepared and injured. Hope the injured will have a speedy recovery. Based on latest expert analysis of the weather satellite photo. there are 3 storm cells at the area of the flight path. Due to the limitation of weather radar onboard the plane, the pilot cannot see the 3rd storm cell behind the 1st two storm cell and didn't avoid the 3rd storm cell. Causing this disaster.

I think sa nees to revise what routes they take to singapore. That area around southern asia is known for turbulence. Why not simply avoid it by taking another route ? I flew with china eastern to singapore vis shanghai in feb, an extra 5 hrs on the journey time than flying direct from London but the fare price was cheaper than flying with sa. Mild turbulence over russia and chinese airspaces but nothing on the scale this flight experienced. Will definetly take note if i head out to asia in the future.
