However, flight SQ321 experienced 厳しい turbulence while 飛行機で行くing の近くに to Myanmar 領空 in a 地域 現在/一般に 存在 乱打するd by extreme 熱帯の 雷雨s. The 計画(する) dropped from an 高度 of around 37,000 feet to 31,000 feet within just five minutes as it finished 横断するing the Andaman Sea and 近づくd Thailand.
The 計画(する) - 登録(する)d 9V-SWM - was コースを変えるd to the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok where it made an 緊急 上陸 at 15.45pm 地元の time, the 航空機による 発表するd on its Facebook page.

It was not すぐに (疑いを)晴らす where the person who died in the 出来事/事件 was from. One man who said he was on the flight took to X (以前は Twitter) to 述べる the 出来事/事件.
Andrew Davies, from Lewisham, London, wrote that he and other 乗客s who were not 負傷させるd in the turbulence were 現在/一般に waiting in a 持つ/拘留するing area at the airport. 'Lots of people 負傷させるd - 含むing the 空気/公表する stewards who were stoic and did everything they could,' he wrote. 'Bangkok 緊急 services quick to 答える/応じる. Very little 警告. The seatbelt 調印する (機の)カム on, I put on my seatbelt straightaway th en the 計画(する) just dropped.' Mr Davies wrote that '乗客s with 医療の training' were working to help the 負傷させるd in the 影響 of the 計画(する) dropping. 'CPR on the poor gentleman that passed. Another 乗客 laid flat in aisle その上の behind me.

Speaking to the BBC, 航空 専門家 John Strickland said that 傷害s from flight turbulence are '比較して rare' considering how many flights operate each day. 'However, 厳しい turbulence can be 劇の and lead to 厳しい 傷害s or sadly in this 事例/患者 a fatality,' he 追加するd. 'It is not for nothing that 航空機によるs recommend keeping seat belts loosely fastened throughout a flight be it long or short.' He told the PA news 機関: '(危険などに)さらす is greater in different parts of the world. 'The South 大西洋, Africa and the Bay of Bengal are all places that spring to mind where there's a greater incidence,' 追加するing: 'There are discussions about whether 気候 change is 影響(力)ing an 増加する in occurrences.' Mr Strickland said 航空機によるs use a variety of methods to minimise the chances of a flight 存在 影響する/感情d by turbulence, such as 天気予報s, レーダ and 報告(する)/憶測s from 航空機 ahead. He 追加するd: 'It can never be taken lightly when 航空機によるs recommended you keep the seatbelt loosely fastened throughout the flight.'
Marco Chan, 上級の Lecturer in 航空 操作/手術s at Buckinghamshire New University, told MailOnline that 出来事/事件s 伴う/関わるing extreme turbulence tend to occur when a 計画(する) is navigating through 雷雨s. 'The 雷雨s, bringing possible 厳しい ice and turbulence, are prominently 陳列する,発揮するd on the 操縦するs' 航海 陳列する,発揮する,' Chan - who is also an Experienced Airbus 操縦する and former A330 First Officer with Hong Kong 航空機によるs - said. 'The 操縦するs are 推定する/予想するd to navigate around the 雷雨s while having the seat belt 調印する on as a pre-警告を与える. It may not be possible to 完全に 回避する the 雷雨s cluster as they can stretch 井戸/弁護士席 over 50 航海の miles 加える 予定 to 領空 制限s,' he 公式文書,認めるd.
Turbulence-関係のある 航空機による 事故s are the most ありふれた type, によれば a 2021 熟考する/考慮する by the 国家の Transportation Safety Board. From 2009 through 2018, the US 機関 設立する that turbulence accounted for more than a third of 報告(する)/憶測d 航空機による 事故s and most resulted in one or more serious 傷害s, but no 航空機 損失. Singapore 航空機によるs, 広範囲にわたって recognised as one of world's 主要な 航空機によるs and a (判断の)基準 for much of the 産業, has not had any major 出来事/事件s in 最近の years. Its last 事故 resulting in 死傷者s was a flight from Singapore to Los Angeles 経由で Taipei, where it 衝突,墜落d on October 31, 2000 into construction 器具/備品 on the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport after 試みる/企てるing to take off from the wrong 滑走路. The 衝突,墜落 killed 83 of the 179 people on board.
While there is no suggestion that today's 出来事/事件 was the fault of the 計画(する), it is the 最新の 脅す 伴う/関わるing a Boeing-製造(する)d 航空機 in 最近の weeks. Questions over safety have 疫病/悩ますd the 製造業者 ever since a door plug blew out of a 737 Max on an Alaska 航空機によるs flight in January. The safety 危機 at Boeing has led to 航空機 不足s, which could 原因(となる) a wave of 取り消しs this summer as Britons 準備する for their holiday 逃亡s. This has not been helped by a string of 出来事/事件s 伴う/関わるing Boeing 計画(する)s, with May seeing at least four - with three coming in ju st two days.?In Turkey on May 9, a Boeing 計画(する)'s tyre burst on the 滑走路 after 上陸. That same day, shocking (映画の)フィート数 現れるd showing the moment terrified 乗客s fled a 燃やすing Boeing 737-300 jet carrying 78 乗客s that skidded off the 滑走路 and caught 解雇する/砲火/射撃 during take-off in Senegal.
These two 出来事/事件s (機の)カム after a FedEx 計画(する) made an 緊急 上陸 at Istanbul Airport on May 8, with ビデオ showing its nose skidding along the 滑走路. ビデオ also 逮捕(する)d 炎上s 狙撃 from the 支援する of a Boeing 747-400 just last week on May 16, 軍隊ing the jet to make an 緊急 上陸 in Indonesia. On the 計画(する)d 伴う/関わるd in today's 出来事/事件 also 存在 a Boeing, Mr Chan 公式文書,認めるd: 'The 航空機 in question is a Boeing 777-300ER, a 製造業者 that has already 攻撃する,衝突する the headlines. It must be 強調d that such 出来事/事件s can happen to any flights and any 製造業者's 航空機. The 決定的な next steps are for Singapore 航空機によるs to now arrange to bring the 影響する/感情d 乗客s to their 初期の 目的地 - Singapore,' he said. 'They will also need to work with the 地元の civil 航空 当局 and 調査 teams, 特に with the 操縦するs and the cabin 乗組員 onboard (once they are 回復するd from the flight or any 傷害s 支えるd), to find out what happened. It will also be important to analyse the in-flight data to look at the parameters of the flight to understand the 影響 of the turbulence and the 操縦室 発言する/表明する recorder to understand the conversations and 活動/戦闘s that took place during the 出来事/事件.'
