Extreme turbulence should never ever happen in modern times. These things can be avoided and navigated around! Embarrassing from singapore airlines.

[@krisjustin3884]

Not sure what led up to this, but I guess many will be wondering if cost cutting is an issue here with weather radar equipment and flight routes.

"Extreme turbulence should never ever happen in modern times.....Embarrassing from singapore airlines." Meanwhile reports of airplanes hitting extreme air turbulence happening all over the world... Just to add, Boeing is the best company in the world!

Always keep the seatbelt on. Think about it, your doing 300 mph plus, if the plane hits a ramp in the sky the forces are massive.

Oh gee...Singapore Airlines couldnt clear itself of the turbulence? Now, they're trying to convince us that the deceased man had a heart attack. How bloody pathetic.

[@ExplodingVolcano777]

A massive air pocket that force the airplane to descend thousands of meters in a matter of minutes and the fact that they couldn’t detect it on time..even though planes were outfitted to detect such things. ( the plane was boeing).

I'm sure Boeing already started to pay air industry specialist to say otherwise. Too many injuries and fatal is not air turbulance. They can't even see that coming in the radar.

Never underestimate turbulence .

[@johnwhittaker6433]

Lawsuit about to go crazy

[@marianogoncalves18]

This isn't the USA. Turbulence is outside a pilot's control and seatbelts are recommended to be used at all times during the flight

[@philipneo3197]

I doubt there is any law suit cos it can happen to any plane and is this due to mother nature 😮

[@darthdude1016]

Who they gonna sue? The winged dragon of ra.

[@hithere3035]

@@marianogoncalves18 Turbulence is out of pilots contorl, flight path isn't. They went through a notoriously bad flight path for bad turbulence and the plane apparantly had "known issues". Boeing triple 777-300-ER model plane have a radar system that isn't upto date and it doesn't show "accurate" storm/bad weather such has air pockets which this plane flew through that caused the worse than normal turbulence.

@@lizziewalsh275 Management didn't listen to engineers giving warnings. Set up of their business doesn't allow agile response to such issues (e.g. Division with Spirit).

BOEING plane AGAIN and this time they are talking about the RADAR SYSTEM onboard Boeing triple 777-300-ER model plane that dont give normal and expected Reading about the weather ( Storms, etc,, ) on real time when on automatic mode....!!!! I want to add that this problem is well know among Pilots who are flying that model plane and it is also known by the Airlines company and PROBABLY by BOEING itself --- BUT NOTHING IS DONE TO CORRECT THAT RADAR SYSTEM ONBOARD ALL BOEING 777-300-ER MODEL PLANES….WHY..??? And what about all other Boeing model planes, do they all have that same problem regarding their Radar system or not...??

Maybe Boeing has been hacked by Russian intelligence? A massive but well-hidden software glitch could weaken the American economy for decades if it weren't discovered.

Do your research. The type of turbulence they flew through could not be predicted, it comes out of nowhere and it doesn’t even need to be bad weather.

Those masks were all tangled up, they weren't usable. Im never flying again.

They didn't need masks, the masks got tangled up after a bunch of people didn't wear seatbelts and hit the roof (causing the masks to deploy) during severe turbulence.
