Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 was scheduled to hit passengers on Tuesday ( May 21 ), but there was little warning of the chaos.
Indonesian student Dzafran Azmir had the impression that the Boeing 777-300R aircraft was tilting upward and beginning to tremble with about three days left on the trip from London to Singapore.
The 28-year-old checked his belt on and braced himself. He did. Many of the other people did no, he said.
” Abruptly there was a very dramatic drop, and people seated and those without seatbelts were immediately slammed into the roof,” Azmir told Reuters. Some folks hit their heads on the bag compartments overhead, dented it, and then struck the areas where lighting and veils are, and then slammed straight through it.”
” Citizens dropped to the ground, my telephone flew out of my hand and went a few aisles to the side, women’s shoes flung about”.
