SQ321 turbulence: SIA says it has adopted "a more cautious approach" during in-flight turbulence 

From the local news, the Airport Authority of Thailand were informed 15 minutes by the captain before landing. We have emergency rescue teams located adequately in every parts of a province so they are quite fast and spontaneous in responding to emergency situations. The hospital is rehearsing a drill with the Airport annually. We are happy to help our fellow ASEAN. Pray for everyone's speedy recovery.

Thanks To Thailand Team. Thailand On Site Response Team was Extremely Professional n Efficient. Thailand has the BEST MEDICAL Care n Doctors in the Region.

@@vincecarlo Singapore has been known as regional medical hub and top notch doctors for years.

@@Panwardploen HAS Been n WAS, now ? NOPE Have U seen the current Batch of IMPORTED Docs n Nurses ?

@@vincecarlo I am lucky never have to step my foot into a hospital when I visit Singapore. Trust everything is improving in the future.

I wonder if Autopilot was on during this incident, the plane pitched up, and the autopilot would be trying to get the plane to go down, which may have added to the drop

@@Dave_Brwe have a keyboard pilot here

Some passengers were interviewed and they claimed that there were no warning or reminders before the incident. If that’s true then it should be an overlooked by the pilot.

Yes even in my previous travel I can see many passengers ignoring seat belt sign. I always have my seat belt on. I do this from my own turbulence experience and also through reflection of others experiences.

There’s direct flight from sin to canada? I thought that flight was cancelled

Ya lor. Puzzled me too🤔

SG and MY hospitals have specialisation in treating such traumatic turbulence injured patients

@@bobafett5757 I hope you donot want to say that becoz that means turbulence over SG and MY is very common. And so does turbulence related injuries. Then aviation sector is not so safe in those two countries. Chose your words wisely .

@@nishu413 Now you are confused between trauma injuries and cosmetic surgery so please pick your treatment choice wisely

Lmao you think turbulence injury is a specific injury? If they can handle RTA injuries, they can handle turbulence injuries

It's CNA Who is Surprised ?

Would this be surprising? Singapore has been attempting to slight their SEA counterparts of late because they are more “superior”

It's CNA So who Is Surprised ?

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON ❗️❗️

Reporter can be naive and thoughtless !

What about when eating ?

@@bobafett5757 are you seated while eating?

@@ashman4827 He can't have it on while eating because his belly gets in the way. He can't breathe.

It will be excused when you seated on toilet bowl 😅

​@@ashman4827😂 some people don't think before they ask

If cannot detect then fly for what ?

But they did know they were overflying thunderheads. They could have diverted around them.

​@@shawnbell6392 Bingo Meals were Even Served

if Autopilot was on during this incident, it will be interesting to know if the autopilot made things worse, or even caused the entire incident.

Usually it is more frequent over mountain ranges and less so over flatter terrain and sea.

Of course, but you cannot stay in your seat for 8 or 10 hours, it is bad for your blood circulation and for your back. And you will also need the toilet. It is a really tricky problem.

Play The OVER RATED Climate Change card again PATHETIC

@vincecarlo you need to have experienced retired pilot in your friends zone, to learn that the "air bubbles" (hange of pressure, basically like sidden vacuum)and cloud related wind streams (also due to pressure) existed and exist. Experienced pilots just don't go to that zone, which they receive before the flight and during the flight from the traffic control continuously. The clouds are used by delta planners to find the uprising stream, so they can fly, and that is how they move in their air: from one stream, to another. Aircrafts scip it, if some private jet owner can enjoy risky entertainment, big planes just avoid it. All pilots have to be trained for these situations! These situations exist in the air every single day around the globe! Just nobody goes in! I used to be in absolutely similar incident in the same tropical zone. Ther is no fun at all..In my case, the pilot accepted departure despite taking an opportunity to delay..it was clear that we are to fave turbulence and problems in the air..we got it, same as here, but god bless, our pilot at least new how to deal (switched off evrythin, we slides down, all scared, all screams, but then he launched manual control and returned us to the route, despite some other problems, we landed without any physical damage, spending almost 2 more hours on the air, which we could easily spent on the ground if delayed, and have no problems dueing the flight). All that is known and dexisted always in the air..here, with sq321 we have 2 issues: something went wrong in communication between services and board regarding weather condition and having accurate preasure map and second: pilots themselves..one of them is the reaosn of the injuries (literally did wring mmanipulation in the cabin causing the tilt and severe drop.of the machine) and rhe other onr who stabbilised and landed. You have not been in such a situation, you cannot know how that happens in the air. I was. And yes, make friends with pilots, otherwise this climate collapse narrative will complitly finish your brains. Also take a look what the Tropical storm belt is - it's special low pressure zone, a line, which is a give at certain time per year in Thai, Vietnam, Malaysia, India.. pilots, flying in this part of the world must be trained for this particular aspect. Somebody has not so much training.

@@Timesobserver_Xenia well explained. that's why it's such a strange case. only the pilot & his co-pilot know.

Malaysia Airline is the best in the world. Untill the present time, flight MH370 has still to be flying. You think it is funny to dig on someone tragedy. This is what they call TAKE YOUR OWN MEDICINE.

The issue here is seat belt alarm did not trigger for the passengers to put on seat belt by the pilot or captain. Why was not triggered?

@@thangappanprasath1131 yeah. strange. even the gentleman who was on board said that there was no announcement & seatbeat alert.

There was Meal Service at that time as well

Interesting point. Still,here sq flew over the water, close to the shore, but still it was the sea under, means, no solar panels. The area has near tropical belt of low pressure. It shall be known by all pilots flying in this area, what brings us to the human factor: control tower and pilots. Here we have to search the sequence of actions and communication. A mistake is there. For the note, I personally was in similar aircraft event, despite the pilot did the job to fall correctly (with engines off and no speed) and changed to manual control right after to stabilise. Scary for sure,trauma - yes, injured - zero. Human factor and, perhaps, a need to check the machine.

The question is: were the engines off or on? When I was in such an incident we had all electricity shut off and pulery stopped machine. I still do not know clearly if that was intended by the pilot to avoid complications, or that was caused but the air pocket (no frequency possible in such air bubbles), but that helped us, as I understood later, to fall without roughness, in some minute or less the place was stabilised and moving horizontally again ..pilot switched to manual control. This was explained to me by my friend - retired pilot in the same region, after the event, when we discussed what happend. And yes, it's nearly the same region (Vietnam) where it happened, in June 2019.

I agree. They have handled it very professionally. But the media just keep dramatising it.

You dont apologise if u know somethings not right Hmmmmmmm

YES. ABSOLUTELY NO APOLOGISING BECAUSE IT IS VERY BAD WEATHER THAT IS SO OUT OF CONTROL ❗️❗️❗️

Aviation industry depends on the people’s faith in safe flying. That why so much is done to make sure passengers feel safe flying. Best example would be 9/11 attack and how aviation industry took a downturn afterwards. Lot of people lost jobs and the industry bled so severely for a decade. Hence called the “lost decade”. Just when the industry started booming after COVID 19 pandemic, the industry can’t take another blow with accidents making people feel less safe. Therefore when it comes to airline industry, the airlines apologize for the minute things that compromise passengers safety and take drastic measures to make sure such things would never happen again. That’s the culture in aviation. Should respect that.

Yeah smart comment knucklehead, SIA is a global business, a person died and 20 people in hospital on one of its flight. What do you think the CEO should say “It was an accident so just suck it up?”🤦🏽🙄

Just wear seat belt kid

what if the pilot didnt pre warn?

……not in comparison to QANTAS………

@@TOGASRSRWY For you: "Nut job".

2 Words : Thunder Cells

electronics malfunction?

They drop them lower usually, plus they are marked and very obvious in the sky. Or these crazy radar clouds, as if somebody created chessboard in the air. Aircrafts pass by next to in, not in..air bubble, or air pocket is the correct description..surely, if the cloud is created, thdn the original cause is in its creation, but it is still air pocket. There is near tropical belt of low pressure, means the air pockets existed and exist in this region even without manipulation..it is rainy season now in the area. I used to be in similar event, in the falling aircraft. The pilots have to be trained for this, if they fly in Thai, Vietnam, Malaysia etc. In my case, even though we would never experience the air bubble if the pilot didn't take risk (delayed the departure), he still knew how to manage the situation. We had no injured. To tell shortly: he switched off all electronics and let the plane go down, in some time he turned on manual and stabilised the aircraft. We had sea belts sign turned on in advance, I suspect the pilot saw something in front of him or on the map. Still, those who were not fastened,had quite a moment to do so when the fall began. Here,in Singaporean airlines case, very likely a human factor is involved, both: and from the control tower of the passage, and from the side of cabine crew. Something happened in the cabine.

I would add mandatory diapers.

No food/drink trolleys in a 13.5 hour London to Singapore flight? Mandatory stops with meals for long flights so that a Singapore to New York flight takes 2 days and costs twice as much. Imagine if you to travel urgently 🤣. Good jokes, but if you're so paranoid and concerned about safety, don't ever leave your house again because you have a way higher chance of dying or getting injured in a car, bus, or train than in a plane.

@@PragueImport Let's not get too extreme. Flying has changed a lot since the days of getting a transit card at every stop. Planes are bigger and flights are longer. I did a lot of my flying on Comet 4s, which didn't have a great pedigree. But there was more room, the meals were just great and there were many stops between Calcutta and Rome. With the advent of larger, longer range jets, a bit of thought is required to mitigate risks. I do not know if pilots can actually see if they are flying into a jet stream where air speed falls below stall speed, so the nose pitches up and the plane falls from the sky till Bernoulli puts it up again. Just one scenario and there are plenty. So thought can be given to safeguarding passengers without putting them in space suits to collect poo and pee, or in diapers. Cars didn't have seat belts till the days of clunk click every trip. Times have changed and thinking helps keep up with the times. There are other alternatives.

@@Exachad You know, I have been flying since 1958. We had plenty of stops and airports with adequate transit lounges. Cost? It was what it was and if it were too high, nobody would be flying today - change of thinking required, not giggles. Yes, your car is not as safe as a modern airliner but you do wear seatbelts in your car, don't you? You do put your child in isofix child seats. We didn't have such things on our Mercedes 190C but we have them on ALL cars today. Cars travel at less than 60 mph and planes fly at 600 mph. What's wrong in trying to safeguard the millions of people who fly today? Cost? A skull fracture or spinal injury costs a lot more than twice as much for an airline ticket.

​@@anandagoswami7373 People wear seatbelts in cars, but nobody wears seatbelts in buses or trains and both have fatality rates much lower than cars. Will you enforce seatbelts there too? Because planes have even lower fatality rates than both. Most people are not going to sacrifice convenience and money to safeguard against accidents that are already extremely rare when there's things that are far more likely to take their lives. Most people can't even stop themselves from gouging down on food even though heart disease is one of the biggest killers, so do you actually thing anyone is gonna agree to these terrible suggestions to avoid one of these freak accidents that almost never happen? If you still want your suggestions to be implemented, might I sarcastically suggest that planes also include parachutes because theoretically, they would slightly increase your chance of surviving a crash by some amount.

Do you know this from first hand account? The full investigation will find out for sure. Clear air turbulence is invisible on radar I suppose hence the need to wear the belt. Idk maybe the cabin crew can wear some sort of harness when serving food?? Someone will come up with a good idea!

Maybe the 40s were queing for toilet break ?

Why 40 passengers took off their seatbelt... Did they know that they were travel in the air... Seatbelt it's to protect themselves...a lot of passengers did not see the importance of wearing their seatbelt this is to protect themselves... It's so awesome the the rest of the passengers wearing their seatbelt that Turbulence was badly hit... Airline all around the world should implement the rules to all the passengers to wear their seatbelt on all the times unless they go to toilet... This is very important... seatbelt it's to protect the passengers to board the aircraft... Yes Airline should ban the passengers to bring the baggage to the aircraft... As you can see those passengers was badly injured...

@@stephanielarissaannepang9684 Then wear to put the baggage ?

Ask your mother come and serve. What a stupid question - safety is paramount. With your mindset like this, I hope you don't have / plan to have any children.

Who cares about meals crew and passenger safety is the priority. I akreasy saw an Emiratates supervisor get injured by another crew riding over his feet with trolley..😢

Your mother will come and serve. Bodoh comment sia this one

💸💸💸💸😂

CNA is PROPAGANDA 🐂 💩 Channel They Even Got a PR Company n Called them EXPERTS DAMN Joke

Good idea also wear helmet inside the toilet

Wear parachute n life vest as well

This is actually not such a bad idea - at least in some form.

You can still break your neck or spinal cord wearing helmut.😂

bad idea. that helmet will hit somebody else, causing another injury.

those that do not have their seatbelts on are the ones who got injured.

@@jonathanchia9167 a few I believe that but so many were injured maybe the seatbelt signs came too late

Bangkok

"Clear sky turbulence are not serious." Maybe go tell that to all those who got injured and the families of that person who died. Did you even watched the video? Go learn about clear air turbulence [CAT] before you comment more. At the moment we can't be 100% sure its's due to CAT but it's the most likely cause. 1 of the pre-flight briefing item IS looking through and talking about the weather forecast on route. Pilots will monitor the weather radar onboard as well. The radar works by reflecting signals off moisture in the clouds. If there are no moisture of too little of it, the radar won't show anything. CAT cannot be detected by moisture alone. At the moment there are no technology to detect CAT. It's also quite unpredictable. Last but not least, pilots are humans as well and would prefer an uneventful flight over flying into known turbulence since it would cause more work to be done and stress. Pilots wants to get home safe as well.

Are you a special kind of stupid?

@@user-yb1wt2mq8c Thunder cells in the Area yet Meal Service Enuff said

You understand that perhaps it’s not the best idea to move them when they already have spinal injuries?

Malaysian again ...

You are meaning....malaysian or malaysian airlines has experiece in turbulence injured a lot ,right 😮 ...so dangerous this airlines no doubt why mh370 are still lose 😂

Why do you think Singapore or Malaysia have more experts in air turbulence injury treatment than Thailand?

Lol. 😂 Jeez. it’s ridiculous how ppl who know neither medicine nor aeronautics advising the experts. This is what happens when every idiot gets an opportunity to give their opinions no matter how stupid they are. 😂😂

No dumb dumb

Right.... ONLY Boeing gets affected by weather and turbulence. Airbus and other brands have some buttons to turn off the weather/turbulence during flight, aye? I need to go find me that button/switch. Be sure to wait for the investigation report and read it when it comes out.

@@user-yb1wt2mq8cthis never happend to any other plan. And why should the plan have such a strong reaction to the weather? If the weather was so unstable in that point, why the airplan sensores didnt detect it? the investigation made by the american services is biased.

Is that Boeing plane or what ?

​@@rotaficionado666 you just said everything i wanted to say 🤣

U obviously din read or listened to the reports including that of passengers on this flight. It happened very suddenly with no warning at all. Its not that there was warning n the cabin crew continued to serve hot drinks. I have been on many sia flights where it was announced that hot beverages service would be suspended due to expected up coming turbulence. What singapore airlines is saying that they will now totally not provide meal service when the seat belt sign in on.

@jessicaregina1956 tell me you’ve never flown on an actual SQ flight without telling me
