We spoke with the passenger’s father who has just returned from a Taiwanese airport earlier.
Chiew says his 22-year-old child was in London on vacation visiting his roommate, who was studying there on an change initiative. When turmoil struck the couple as they flew back to Singapore on SQ321.
He told the BBC:” My brother was on his approach to the room, while his partner was seated. Both are cool.
” He said he was n’t injured, he was all right- but he’s a bit bruised, he was thrown all over the place. “
He claimed that his brother had informed him that his journey had been diverted and that he had landed in Bangkok yesterday afternoon.
” When he told us we were shocked, we did n’t know the severity of his injuries. I told him to get a check-up, to examine his nose for possible injuries. “
He claimed he was anticipating seeing his brother.
” We’re blessed that he’s well and so is his partner. But when something like this happens, you do n’t know until you look at him physically. We’re going immediately house, he needs the remainder. “
