Nearly one year after their aircraft struck turbulence, 34 Singapore Airlines passengers are still in the hospital in Bangkok, which highlights the seriousness of the incident.
According to an update released late on Monday, the aircraft reported that 50 passengers traveling from London to Singapore on May 21 are still in the Thai funds, including those who are receiving medical care. All the staff from aircraft SQ321 have returned to Singapore.
More than a few people required surgery, according to Thai authorities, and the majority of the injuries occurred in the head or spine. Singapore Airlines has since tightened the seat belt requirements for people during turbulent air travel, but it has n’t required them to do so for the entire trip.
The airline stated that it is fully cooperating with the authorities in the investigation into the affair, which resulted in the death of one man. The aircraft made an emergency landing at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Even though such incidents are uncommon, a Qatar Airways aircraft over Turkey on Sunday also experienced severe turmoil before setting foot in Dublin as planned. Twelve passengers were hurt, total.
