A Bangkok hospital has said that over 20 passengers, including a toddler, on the Singapore Airlines flight that was hit by intense turbulence were hospitalised in critical condition with head and spinal injuries. They were admitted to a hospital in the Thai capital after the London-bound aircraft made an emergency landing. The aircraft descended 6,000 feet in about three minutes due to the turbulence left a 73-year-old British man dead and several others injured.
According to Singapore Airlines, 46 passengers and two crew members are still under medical care in Bangkok. Eyewitnesses told British news website BBC that the sudden drop in the altitude of the aircraft caused unrestrained passengers to collide with the ceiling.
