More than 140 passengers and crew from a Singapore Airlines flight that was hit by heavy turbulence finally reached Singapore after an emergency landing in Bangkok. One person died of a suspected heart attack and at least 30 people were injured. The turbulence caused passengers and crew to be flung around the cabin, resulting in injuries such as gashes and concussions. The relief flight from Bangkok carried injured passengers and crew back to Singapore, while the investigation involved officers from Singapore’s Transport Safety Investigation Bureau and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. Turbulence-related accidents are common, with the NTSB reporting that turbulence accounted for over a third of airline accidents from 2009 to 2018.
