Josh Barker was one of the 47 Britons on board the Singapore Airlines flight from London Heathrow to Singapore when it was hit by severe turbulence, killing one man
A frightened passenger aboard the terror-infested Singapore Airlines flight, Josh Barker, sent last words to family members via text, under the assumption that these were his last moments as the Boeing aircraft tumbled 6,000ft during lethal turbulence.
Allison narrated the excruciating hours of waiting for news to the BBC stating: "It was terrifying. I didn't know what was going on. We didn't know whether he'd survived, it was so nerve wracking. It was the longest two hours of my life." Flight SQ321 took off from London Heathrow at shortly after 10 pm carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members, amongst them 47 Brits. Officials reported unexpected "severe turbulence" struck during breakfast time, some 11 hours into the 13-hour journey to Singapore, reports the Mirror.
