Standing passengers caught out by deadly turbulence on an ill-fated passenger om Airlines flight yesterday were ‘doing somersaults’ as they were smashed into the cabin ceiling, a shocked passenger has said.
The brutal turbulence, which occurred over Myanmar on Tuesday morning around ten hours into the flight from Heathrow to Singapore, wrought havoc on board the aircraft with one British grandfather suffering a fatal heart attack and more than 80 other people sustaining injuries.
A relief flight carrying 131 passengers and 12 crew landed at Singapore’s Changi Airport on Wednesday morning.
Relieved relatives greeted the arrivals with hugs but all were too shaken to talk to waiting reporters.
Another passenger, named as Josh, said that he blacked out during the turbulence. When he came to, he said pools of blood had collected on the cabin floor.
