Severe turbulence on Singapore Airlines flight recounted by passengers 

Feeling sad to see all these.my. Condolences to the grieving family.

More climate change BS the sea hasn't risen, the weather was warmer when I was a child 50 years ago.

​@@d.ch.e Yep it's really terrible.

ALWAYS WEAR A SEATBELT DURING FLIGHT ✈

Hi! Just wanted to share that this incident is very rare, apparently from reports in Singapore, passengers had just finished their inflight breakfast and some were queueing for the restrooms hence so many of them were not strapped in. And unfortunately, there wasn't any warnings from the pilots nor the crew as this was a sudden violent turbulence.

You are supposed to. Some flight instructions video tells you this. The seatbelt sign when off just means you can get out of your seat to do stuff. But when seated, you should still keep the seatbelt on. When the seatbelt sign is on, it means no restroom or getting food at all.

Same. Moving at 600mph through different air densities just feels very... fragile

Same

That sums it up as simply as possible. This is a "people not wearing their seatbelt" issue and NOTHING else. This could happen on ANY type, or MANUFACTURER of aircraft.

@@PilotParticiptionTrophyWinnernah this is way bigger than that. An investigation needs to occur

Geek.

Same for me

Right? Never understood the mindset of people needing to be unrestricted

Surely some of the injured must have been on the corridor waiting to use the washrooms or on their way to their seats?

@DM_1313 that's fair. We don't know where people were located prior to the accident. At least, I haven't researched it. If you know where they were, let us know. It looks like a few of the injuries were from sitting down since they wouldn't have hit that part of the ceiling if they were in the aisle.

​@takumi2023 one passenger account said that one of the serious injuries was a man in the washroom, and another person was waiting outside. I do not know of others but from another passengers' account he helped two ladies who were seated, so yes maybe belts were loose or not not fastened. I agree though, always wear the belt when seated!

@@DM_1313 - Passengers from third world countries who defecate by squatting, are often puzzled by airplane toilets, and will actually put their feet on the toilet seat and then squat down to defecate into the toilet. Balanced precariously, they are prone to falling when even minor turbulence is encountered. Maybe that contributed to some injuries.

Actually not difficult at all.... do not believe all the media hysteria.

@@Q1776Qif it’s not difficult, why pilot school exist then?

​@@user-uj5ly1eq5nThat was not the correct question for the point you were trying to make lol.

​@Q1776Q I am in a pilot school now , and I can say it isn't easy at all, it's not like your typical car license that is easily obtainable

@@nchmusic99 I'm a pilot..and have been in moderate to severe turbulence a few times... if you are wearing your belts and harnesses..it is really no big deal... it can be a bit unnerving though.

Though rail system would increase weight on a system designed for lightweight.

You should have seen the 1980's. That was the wild West back then.

@@WeFreestyleForeverPablo blew up a plane didn’t he?

It seems like the media now reports every incident.

@@ljacobs357It’s exactly this. Not only are we now bombarded at every turn with the coverage of certain things, now nearly everyone has a smart device that is delivering these stories instantly from around the world. It leads to the woefully uninformed believing there are dramatic increases in certain events, when in actuality, there are often statistical decreases.

Air travel has never been safer in the history of air travel.

I was thinking the same thing. Probably Airbus is paying them to blame Boeing.

​@@raymahone5600 Why? Because 'Murka is gud, whila ALL them thar furrigners is bad?" Irrelevant dumbness.

Please never it should happen.😭😭😭😭🙏

Yeah I was thinking if I was the one near the hole, would I sit tight and belted or try to unbelt and move away from the hole. Might get sucked out while trying to move but might get sucked out stil in your seat ….

Worse, you got to pee or poop.

Nah just do it in your seat if you already decided to stick it out there. You must be female

It's up to the airline to chose what kinds of seats go in their planes, not Boeing or Airbus.

I don't fly either, no thank u. 🚗 or 🚂 only.

@@NjD.... I want through turbulence once. I don't know how the plane held together. And that was it for me. Thanks for your reply and have a great day!

I fly. I just don't go into cheaply made submarines 😂😂😂

Me either

@@NjD.... but then you’re stuck on one continent for your whole life. That’s not good enough for me.

Old ones too

Nothing to do with Qantas or airplane type. Such turbulence has always been happening.

Not seat belts or climate! The Boeing is consistently having major problems around the world. A little critical thinking here would help save lives! DEI should be considered here & Boeing's policy changes in part year.

It’s not about the plane. People will find any way to hate on the company 😂

It's over the Bay of Bengal, it's an error prone area for turbulence.

It isnt 737

Maybe at higher altitudes. Their body was still moving at the same speed and height so they flew into the ceiling. It’s the same reason that a motorcycle rider can fly after being hit.

Were you visiting Starvin' Marvin?

You are confusing FEAR with actual danger...driving in a car is thousands of times more dangerous.

Keyboards warriors on board what else!

You don’t have to be a pilot to understand the dynamics involved. If you can’t understand why flying over the Tibetan Plateau is much more dangerous in ANY airplane than flying over, say, Kansas, then it’s not because you aren’t a pilot it’s because you flunked high school physics.

But you can walk into the Himalayas 😂

There IS NO GOD! IF THERE WAS THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED! AND YOU WOULD NOT NEED A SEAT BELT!!!!!

What good will that do? If god won’t protect little kids who come to his churches from being molested, why would he care about airline passengers?

What does this have to do with Boeing?

Tell me u don't have a brain without telling me u don't have a brain:

What did Boeing do? And you cant investigate Air. Nobody did anything wrong.

​@@frmerrin2 Boeing is already being investigated. Unfortunately, businesses rarely allow for an investigation that they can't control the outcome to. What we have learned so far from the inspectors and whistleblowers regarding Boeing, is that similar to other businesses, they have been sacrificing the quality of their products, to make more money. Contrary to the popular thought that the best businesses are the last ones standing, sadly what really happens is that the most profitable business, is the last one standing. that is a big difference. to make more money, a business must constantly make their products worse, by using cheaper ingredients. Also, by firing workers and forcing the remaining employees to do the job of 3 or more people at a time. this too sacrifices quality at the expense of the worker and the consumer. Many flight attendants have gone on strike to protest these inhumane working conditions. not surprisingly, pilots have recently been joining the flight attendants to protest the horrible working conditions. Bad quality planes and overwork. All in the name of making the shareholders at Boeing more money.

@@frmerrin2It’s a Boeing plane owned by Singapore Airlines

😂😂😂🎉

Animation uses A380....

@@timkono5645 I was referring to the flight track that started roughly at 0:53

@@solotrippin09 ah gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
