A Thai hospital treating people injured by turbulence on the Singapore Airlines flight from London says 20 remain in intensive care.
Bangkok — Many of the more seriously injured people who were on the Singapore Airlines flight that hit severe turbulence need operations on their spines, a Bangkok hospital said Thursday. Twenty people remained in intensive care and a 73-year-old British man died after the Boeing 777, which was flying from London's Heathrow airport to Singapore, suddenly descended sharply after hitting the turbulence over the Andaman Sea on Tuesday.
He said there was no warning, and 'there was screaming, yelling and gasping,' as people who weren't buckled down 'were thrown up off of their chairs, flung to the ceiling of the cabin and then immediately thrown back down, to their seats or the flooring.'The ICU patients in Bangkok included six Britons, six Malaysians, three Australians, two Singaporeans and one person each from Hong Kong, New Zealand, and the Philippines, the Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital said.
