Twenty passengers on a Singapore Airlines flight that slammed into heavy turmoil and made an emergency landing in Bangkok on Tuesday are still in intensive care, but none of them have life-threatening problems, according to clinic authorities.
” The number of patients in ICU remains the same ( as on Wednesday )”, Dr Adinun Kittiratanapaibool, director of Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, told reporters on Thursday.
The patients are in ICU because they “need near focus”, he said, but added that now there were no life- disturbing cases.
Three nearby facilities immediately admitted a full of 85 people, including 79 people and six members of the crew, following the incident on Tuesday. As of Wednesday evening, there were 58 patients still in the hospital, but 18 have since been released.
Of the 40 persons still under cure, 22 people have spinal cord injuries and six have brains and bone injuries, Dr Adinun said.
A demonstration prepared by the clinic said 41 people were still under therapy, but one individual was immediately discharged.
Ten British, nine American, seven Malaysian and four Spanish residents were among the 41 people, according to the lecture given by Dr Adinun.
He did not specify the number of team members and people.
After Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 encountered what the airport described as” rapid, extraordinary volatility” while flying over Myanmar on Tuesday evening, one customer died of a suspected heart attack, and dozens were hurt.
Countless passengers flung themselves fiercely inside the cabin, many of whom struck their heads on the overhead luggage bins. The skipper called Suvarnabhumi Airport to request permission for an emergency landing and declared an emergency.
The London- Singapore journey was carrying 211 people and 18 staff members. On Wednesday night, more than 140 people and the flight’s staff made their way to Singapore.
