Man on Deadly Singapore Airlines Flight Shares the Moment ‘All Hell Broke Loose’
A passenger on a Singapore Airlines flight that flew through extreme turbulence, leading to one death and dozens of injuries, recalled his tense experience to CNN on Tuesday.
Andrew Davies was one of 211 passengers on the flight that took off from London bound for Singapore, but was forced to to land in Bangkok, Thailand. The BBC reported that a 73-year-old British man likely suffered a heart attack, and 53 passengers were injured—among whom 30 were hospitalized. Davies didn’t say whether he had been injured, but OutFront anchor Erin Burnett began the interview by saying she was glad he was okay.
Davies said it was about nine or ten hours into the flight when he saw the seatbelt sign illuminate, which prompted him to do as advised.
