Adelaide resident Jenny Hall, who was travelling on the Singapore Airlines flight which experienced extreme turbulence this week, says a decision to not go to the bathroom may have saved her from serious injury.
An Adelaide couple, who were on the Singapore Airlines flight that experienced severe turbulence, have shared the chaos they experienced during the event.Ms Hall said she was about to go to the bathroom just before breakfast when the plane jolted and plunged.
"There people were saying, 'is anyone who's hurt?' and then, I don't know how long later, made a call for medical assistance, 'any doctors on board?' but then people were just helping each other as best they could.
The couple were heartened when passengers started comforting and helping each other, with the generosity extending after they alighted the flight. Singapore Airlines chief executive officer Got Choon Phone has expressed his condolences to the family of the male passenger who died and has apologised to all passengers who went through the "traumatic experience".Three Australians in intensive care in Thai hospitals as more Singapore Airlines passengers begin journeys home
