A passenger onboard a Singapore Airlines jet travelling from the UK has described the extreme turbulence that killed a fellow flyer, reportedly a 73-year-old British man, in a tragic incident today. Terrified passengers have described the incident.
Singapore Airlines will halt meal services when planes fly through turbulence after one person died and dozens were injured on a flight from London this week.
The plane, carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members – including 47 passengers from the UK and four Irish nationals – made a sharp 6,000ft descent in about three minutes, after which it diverted to Thailand.
