A Brit granddad died after severe turbulence battered a flight from London as passengers were tucking into breakfast.
Geoff Kitchen, 73, died of a heart attack after the Singapore Airlines Boeing flight plunged 7,000ft in just six minutes sparking mid-air panic.
Flight SQ321 took off from London Heathrow shortly after 10pm on Monday with 211 passengers and 18 crew on board - including 47 Brits.
Nearly 11 hours into the 13-hour journey to Singapore, the packed jet was smashed by sudden "severe turbulence" while passengers were eating breakfast, officials said.
Geoff, from Thornbury, Gloucestershire, had just begun a six week trip to Singapore, Indonesia, Japan and Australia, with wife Linda when tragedy struck.

Maybe, but it would be worthy of criticism if a major city didn't have appropriate emergency services at the ready if a plane with injured passengers was due to land. They're doing a job that they're paid for, and they aren't running into a burning plane rescuing people. It would certainly be commendable if they were paid as firemen to do something like that.

Clear Air Turbulence does not show on the aircraft Weather Radar. It has no moisture, hence creates no return. It's fully invisible, just like wind. Sometimes your cockpit crew can be warned by the aircraft flying ahead of yours 😱🤬🤬 and If possible they will ask the control to change Flight Level as long as it's worth doing it and the requested Level is available. If there is already an aircraft there she won't change Level with yours. Sorry.💪 Months ago my Stepdaughter suffered moderate to severe turbulence on departure from Paris to Lisbon. And she works in an Airline Flight Operations and knows the difference. I was following her flight on Flightradar watching the altitude going up and down like a slot machine and become very worried. Later, the Captain came on the public address to apologise and state that he had already changed level three times without improvement. They were forced to stop climbing, deviate further West and reduce airspeed for twenty minutes, and there was a good deal of panic on board. And it didn't even make the News...

I was on a flight with similar circumstances. On a 747 flying from Milan to PHL, our plane nose dived causing all the items in the overhead storage come falling out, the life raft fell out of the ceiling. After the pilot straightened the plane he came on the intercom and said it was not noted on the navigation system. Just then the plan did another nose. No one was injured but I did break my eyeglass that were hanging over the pocket and my foot must have hit it. The plane was a mess, but we continued across the ocean. A second flight was during a tornado in Pittsburgh. When we took off from PHL within 10 minutes the pilot announced to the crew to prepare for landing. That plane did maneuvers you would not believe an aircraft can do. The wings flapped like a bird. The tornado actually demolished a city near Pittsburgh.

As ex crew of 22 years Long Haul the hardest part of the Job was getting people to comply with instructions, seatbelts being the hardest. Certain nationalities hated any sort of authority. Once the seat belt signs were illuminated many would then need the toilets. Likewise as soon as the aircraft started taxiing to the gate many would stand up and start unloading hand luggage. Having experienced clear air turbulence and hitting the ceiling in the galley on a 747 my only regret was not having photos of the damage caused to the ceiling and to my head to show passengers why we insist on seatbelts. I was off work for 5 months and had 32 stitches. Well done as well to the crew and all the ground crews in Bangkok, such a good example on how things should be handled. Also the commentator David Lamont tells us nothing apart from the obvious just listen to him, it really is a case of 'no sh** Sherlock'

Those shouting to always have your seatbelt on, be aware that on a 13 hours flight, one needs to go to the restroom, stretch the legs or simply move out of the seat at some time. And as stated in this event, it occurred right after lunch was being served, meaning lots of people in the alley to the restrooms. And it came out of the blue, the fasten seatbelt sign was only switched on a few seconds before it ccourred. I am a very frequent flyer and I can state I have never ever been seated for the whole long stretch from Europe to Asia. One needs to get up at times. WHEN seated, yes, it’s best to loosely fasten your seatbelt.

It was reported that they were experiencing mild turbulence initially, like several bumps, but the major turbulence caused by clear air appeared sudden, thus when the pilot had sounded the seat belt sign the cabin crew were still serving with their trolleys and the rest of the passengers saw it flash and the ones who were standing or walking did not have enough time to rush back to their seats and fasten their seat belts before the rapid drop.

@anrashid47 12 дней назад

As a retired airline pilot , CAT(clear air turbulence) and accumulated weather clouds were always were our biggest threats. Today with climate change, the effects of these phenomena need to be taken very seriously - due to the effects of extreme surface temperatures and the depleting ozone layers . Above 20,000 feet amsl, turbulence is a real threat !! Pre-departure briefings need to be more detailed and thorough especially traversing the jetstream latitudes and arid regions of 20 to 40 degrees latitudes North or South where the earth's arid regions lie . So one needs to practice diligence in scrutinizing the met synoptics . The best means of modus operandi is avoidance of forecasted areas of threat !! I can only empathize with today's aviation operators. That's why i prefer surface mode of travel without all the airport hassles and weather !!!!

Not exactly true, the pilots have a weather radar right in front of them on the flight deck, which shows where the really dangerous clouds are on their route. I'm an air traffic controller, most ask well in advance for a route to avoid the dangerous clouds, you get the occasional maverick who decides to try it (and then usually changes their mind when they find out how bad the ride is). But no, clear air turbulence is not detectable from the flight deck, and pilots will regularly ask for "ride reports" i.e. asking for us to check if other aircraft have reported anything bumpy at their altitude in the upcoming section of their route

Long haul flights I don't like. Can't relax 8-10 hours in a plane but I'm pretty good at not showing it. Very sad for the loss of this man and the injuries to others. Actually planes are more safer than cars to be in generally but problems do happen.

The gentleman died because he had a heart condition...not from turbulence injuries.(probably shock)very sad. R.i.P. This is why you are told to keep your seat belt fastened when sitting.

Exactly, as a former glider pilot we used thermals, vertical movement of air, to our great advantage to gain altitude. Nonetheless when transiting from cloud to cloud I would slow my airspeed when encountering turbulence, which could shear up and down rapidly and violently. Shoulder harnesses typical of smaller aircraft and military planes kept me "snug" but it could get quite rough.

The 1 man who died, died of heart attack or cardiac arrest. He was therefore not "kille," but rather, he simply died........difference.

I have experienced something like this and the pilot advises people to to remain seated with seat belts fastened. But humans are humans and there is always someone who nows better.

I understand turbulence. What I don’t get are ceiling panels falling on passengers’ heads. Boeing again.

@stevencramsie9172 12 дней назад

The turbulence and drop in altitude was so quick, it caused unbelted passengers to shoot up and collide with the overhead areas and ceiling. These panels are not designed for that kind of force.

Just don't understand, how difficult to wear a seatbelt during flight ? And what's the down side to wear it ? I always told my kids, you don't have to wear it tight, wear it loose is ok, as long as you wear it in case of something happens ....! Anyway tons of people still say: That's my right wear it or not ! But the plane needed to detour to different place ....!!!!

@gary53 12 дней назад

@hungo7720 12 дней назад

The upshot here is always fasten your seatbelt while seated. When a turbulence or a jolt hits, you will be shielded from these threats. We can conspicuously see that those injured passengers ruptured the aircraft's ceiling.

@vora_thk1118 12 дней назад

Because it was during the monsoon.

It occurred high above the Irrawady Basin in Myanmar. It is currently inter monsoon season in Myanmar, so no, it is not due to the monsoon season.

@sugoidessho 12 дней назад

Cabin crew CANNOT keep their seat belts fastened during the entirety of a flight because they have to serve food and drinks throughout the flight and attend to passengers pressing the call buttons, preparing meals, cleaning the galley and toilets etc. They are therefore the most vulnerable when sudden severe turbulence occurs. Also, turbulence can also occur in 'clear' air, not just in stormy conditions with strong winds and heavy cloud formations. This particular plane hit a deep air pocket which cannot be seen on radar if it's in 'clear' air, so that's likely why the fasten seat belt sign wasn't turned on earlier. And yes air pockets do exist due to sudden changes in air density and wind direction. There is simply less dense air inside the pocket to sustain lift under the wings, hence the sudden drop.

@BCFC1875Cruzeiro 12 дней назад

This man is giving an explanation as if he is teaching pilots... simple answer is use your seatbelt at all times unless going to the Loo...

Tip: wear your seatbelt! Warnings are always given by cabin crew to keep the seatbelt on during flight, but people just seem to ignore this advice.

Clear air turbulence is almost impossible to see you usually have no warning and it can be extremely violent, if you get warning it is because an airplane in the same track radioed it in.

@rxonmymind8362 12 дней назад

Pro tip. If you are ever flying in a propeller plane ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.

@gulagforgulags6967 12 дней назад

Anyone who travelled more than 3 hrs air travel knows that is almost impossible to sit in your seat for more than that. As for the incident itself, it remains to be seen if it was "sudden turbulence" only or "sudden turbulence" AND pilot mistake and loss of plane stalling..

@justinehayward2553 12 дней назад

Happens a lot. Fasten your seat belt when you can. In fact, on two of my regular flights, turbulence reminds me of where I am, HK to Europe the Ural Mountains always wake me and over Borneo when flying HK to Indonesia.

@edwardmyers8782 12 дней назад

Every flight i have ever been on you are instructed to keep your seatbelts fastened and it is not that uncomfortable, far less so than getting yourself slammed against the roof.

@9256steven 11 дней назад

It's almost as if modern passengers think flying has become so safe that negative gravity due to turbulence no longer applies. People think they are on a bus or train. They are in a pressurised tube traveling at a velocity of 900kph through the air at an altitude of 12km, What could possibly go wrong?

@Justyburger 11 дней назад

I often used to wonder why the obsession with seatbelts on planes and this is it. I actually think, in the safety brief, that they should specifically say that seatbelts are for turbulence because a lot of people think seatbelts are a waste of time. This incident also shows how robust these aircraft are. I saw a picture once, of a stress test on the wings of a passenger aircraft and the wings were pulled up so much that the tips were almost touching each other. That showed me just how much flexibility the wings potentially have. Ever since then, I have never been concerned with turbulence. I've seen it more of an interesting thing, than a dangerous thing. But...I used to also experience turbulence in the helicopters that I would take to the North Sea Oil Rigs and that used to concern me more. Still....a chopper going down was extremely rare.
