In a distressing incident, a Singapore Airlines flight carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members from London, UK to Singapore encountered a severe mid-air collision. This unfortunate event resulted in one fatality and over 30 injuries. The aircraft, a Boeing 777, experienced a significant loss of altitude as it approached the flight deck due to lightning problems.
Prompt action was taken, and the flight was directed to make an emergency landing at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. Originally scheduled to land at Changi Airport in Singapore at 6 pm local time, the plane’s journey took a tragic turn.
Reports indicate that an ambulance plane rushed to the crash site to provide assistance. Sadly, one person lost their life, while more than 30 individuals sustained injuries.
A spokesperson from Singapore Airlines expressed deep regret over the incident, identifying the affected flight as SQ321 from London (Heathrow) to Singapore on May 21, 2024.
