The aircraft subsequently made an emergency landing at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport.

aircraft

The aircraft involved was a 16-year-old Boeing 777-312ER,[a] registered as 9V-SWM, with manufacturer serial number 34578 and line number 701. The aircraft was equipped with two General Electric GE90-115B engines and was delivered to Singapore Airlines in February 2008.[1][2][3] The aircraft was one of two Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300ERs to be temporarily converted into freighters in 2020

accident

The Boeing 777-312ER encountered severe turbulence at around 07:49 UTC on 21 May 2024 (14:19 local time)[3] over the Irrawaddy Basin in Myanmar, around 360 nautical miles (667 km; 414 mi) from Bangkok.[5][6] Cabin crew members were in the midst of serving breakfast[7] when the turbulence became sufficiently severe for unsecured passengers and objects to become airborne inside the cabin.[5][6] Some passengers said the "fasten seat belt" sign was turned on too late to prevent injuries.[8] Tracking data showed that the aircraft was at an altitude of 37,000 feet (11,278 m) at the time of the encounter.[9]

A passenger died and 104 others were injured,[10] with 20 of them in intensive care.[11] The sole fatality was a 73-year-old British man travelling with his wife, who was hospitalised.[12] The man was suffering from a heart condition and died from a suspected heart attack.[5][6] At least five medical personnel, four doctors and a nurse, were on board as passengers and tended to the injured despite sustaining injuries during the turbulence.[13][14] Fifteen Britons,[10] twelve Australians,[15] nine Malaysians,[12] five Filipinos,[16] four New Zealanders, two Singaporeans, and a Hongkonger were also injured.[11][17] The oldest person to receive treatment was an 83-year old.[18] Most victims were treated for fractures including to the vertebrae and skull, as well as internal damage to the brain, spinal cord and other organs.[19] Images show that the oxygen masks were hanging after parts of the aircraft's interior were damaged.[20][21] The accident was Singapore Airlines' first fatal aviation accident since the crash of Flight 006 in 2000 and the first fatal accident involving the Boeing 777-300ER.[10]

Preliminary investigations suggested the flight experienced rapid vertical force changes and an altitude drop of around 177 ft (54 m)[22] The flight was then diverted to Bangkok, where it made an emergency landing at 15:45 local time.[23][5][6] Singapore Airlines dispatched a relief flight which carried 131 passengers and 12 crew members to Singapore the next morning.[9][24]
