A British man, 73, died during severe turbulence on a Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore. Several others were injured, with seven people being seriously injured. The victim was likely to have died from a heart attack, according to authorities at Bangkok airport. The wife of the deceased man has also been taken to the hospital.

Witnesses on the flight reported that passengers not wearing seatbelts were “launched into the ceiling” during the turbulence. The scene on the plane was chaotic, with “so many injured people”, including some with head wounds.
The severity of the turbulence caused panic and distress among passengers. The news of the British man’s death and the injuries sustained by several others has raised concerns about air travel safety. It serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of turbulence during flights and the importance of following safety guidelines while onboard an aircraft.

The passengers and crew have been deeply affected by the incident, and it will take time for them to recover from the trauma.
