At several hospitals, 58 of patients from Singapore Airlines’ troubled flight are still being treated,” Bangkok’s Samitivej Hospital reported. Of this number, 20 are at the intensive care unit and 27 have been discharged already.
There was turbulence that shook Singapore Airlines plane throwing passengers and crew around the cabin hitting some into its ceiling. Suspected heart attack killed one passenger while many others were injured.
The Boeing 777 bound for Singapore from London with a complement of 211 passengers and an additional number of eighteen cabin crews has landed in Bangkok as an alternative airport yesterday afternoon.
It happened nearly ten hours into the flight as it flew over Myanmar’s Irrawaddy Basin leading to a sudden six thousand feet drop within about three minutes.
After expressing condolences, Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong said, “We are very sorry for what everyone on board SQ321 went through,” adding that the company would help the victims and provide support to their families.
This is the first death incident involving Singapore Airlines for almost twenty-five years. The carrier which has always had great safety record last suffered a major mishap in October 2000.
