a man died

[@emeraldgirl7374]

I was on a plane from Singapore to London, nearly 30 years ago. We hit horrendous turbulence, twice. It was extremely frightening, as I was travelling with my infant son. Luckily he was strapped into his bassinet infront of me. And I had my seatbelt on. But I still lifted up from my seat, luckily the belt held me in my place. I bent forward, and covered his bassinet with my upper body. I would hate to think what would have happened, if we both weren't strapped in.

[@Katielomax7]

I had the same thing as a kid, around 20 years ago - flew from the UK to China, plane suddenly dropped a couple thousand feet. The fear was immense, luckily everyone was totally fine and nobody was injured. I’m still scared of flying to this day!

[@SparkkyBojangles]

Ladies and gentlemen, always wear your seatbelts. If you are standing in the cabin, be sure to look downward if you come off of your feet as you may avoid getting head trauma. Wind shear can happen in clear air.

[@wayne5240]

This is really unlucky like the amount of flights daily you never hear anything this bad ?

[@user-bd2vy6ij1s]

Nice trying to convince it was normal turbulence when it clearly wasn't

[@SparkkyBojangles]

@@user-bd2vy6ij1s it wasn't normal turbulence, but a sudden drop can happen at any time at cruising altitude. So, I'll say it again. You should be strapped in at all times. Oof

What a incredible achievement from the pilot who landed the aircraft, he must be commended for his incredible achievement.

Always wear your seat belt

"One of the passengers who had been discharged told Singapore news platform 8World that the turbulence was so strong that she was thrown into the air despite having her seatbelt on."

[@moshinafc9051]

Didn't think a plane could survive this extreme turbulence.

[@averagebeastt3606]

Actually it's the opposite. It's exceptionally rare for planes in the 21st century to crash or even make emergency landings due to severe turbulence. There's 100% more to this that's not being disclosed by the Airline and Boeing.

Flight crews always tell you to wear your seat belt when seated but theirs always the few who don't listen.

[@lordjim3109]

So what? That means it`s perfectly normal to have your onboard breakfast coffee thrown into your face?

I flew to Singapore dozens of times, yes there is always turbulence but this seems to be something else. Was the plane faulty? Was this a boeing?

[@Revelian1982]

Yes, it was a Boeing. Sshh..

[@sinceresong9907]

could be an excuse

[@averagebeastt3606]

It was a Boeing 777-300ER. I can't really fathom this either, dropping 7,000ft in 6mins simply due to "severe turbulence" is bizarre to me. Doesn't make sense at all. It's exceptionally rare for this to happen. I can 100% guarantee there is more to this that's not being disclosed.

[@rubimalik4878]

Wear your seat belt!

Sounds like he didn't have a seatbelt on.......

How the fuck can anyone get injured from turbulence?

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

Youre fucking shitting us, right 😂?

[@alexanderson1193]

@Ryan-vg4wn how? there's a soft seat in front of you and behind and a bit of plastic at the side if you're sitting by the window. When there's turbulence the pilot puts the seat belt sign on. How?

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

@@alexanderson1193 soft things become less soft the faster or harder you hit them. When the pilot puts the button on, does this button also automatically lock passengers into their seat? Or does it require the passengers to put it on, but for various reasons some passengers snd crew maybe don't, or can't? Remind me, do planes have ceilings or anything soft above your head?

[@rhyanwalker94]

You have to be trolling. You can’t be that f*cking thick to ask that.

That one person died with a heart attack due to the ordeal at 70+ years of age. Other than that yeah majority of those not wearing seatbelts would’ve ended up getting injured. Not rocket science.

Did you not watch the video? People were violently thrown from the seats, this guy was bleeding, and a man even died. This wasn’t normal turbulence.

[@Katielomax7]

Because it was so severe it caused someone to die from a heart attack, this was no ‘normal’ turbulence. You also clicked on the video so it clearly interested you somewhat.
