Andrew Davies from Lewisham, who says he was on the flight, described how a man received CPR from fellow passengers before he tragically lost his life.
Passengers have described the carnage that unfolded when a Singapore Airlines jet plummeted 6,000ft amid terrifying turbulence - leaving one passenger dead and 30 injured.
'The seatbelt sign came on, I put on my seatbelt straightaway then the plane just dropped,' Mr Davies wrote on X of the horror flight, adding that a member of cabin crew told him it was 'by far the worst in her 30 years of flying'. Mr Davies, who was en route to Wellington in New Zealand for work, said: 'My heart goes out to the gentleman who lost his life and his poor wife. Awful experience.
'One of the men was clearly in a lot of back pain but he, and the rest of them, stoically carried on anyway.' Describing the dramatic events, Dzafran Azmir, who was on board the flight, said: 'Suddenly the aircraft starts tilting up and there was shaking so I started bracing for what was happening, and very suddenly there was a very dramatic drop so everyone seated and not wearing seatbelt was launched immediately into the ceiling.
'I don't want to scare you, but I'm on a crazy flight. The plane is making an emergency landing… I love you all,' his message read.
