ONE of the five Filipinos on board Singapore Airlines Flight 321 is expected to undergo neck surgery and another, a 62-year-old male, is in the intensive care unit at a Bangkok hospital, as a result of injuries they suffered when their plane encountered severe turbulence, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said Thursday.
The Filipina, who works in Singapore, fractured her neck and back. Her condition remains 'sensitive' but stable.
Officials gather around the Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300ER airplane, which was headed to Singapore from London before making an emergency landing in Bangkok due to severe turbulence, as it is parked on the tarmac at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok on May 22, 2024. A 73-year-old British man died and more than 70 people were injured on May 21 in what passengers described as a terrifying scene aboard Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 that hit severe turbulence, triggering an emergency landing in Bangkok.
