Read previewWhen they felt their plane lurch and plummet, Ade Tan and Amos Chan, both 28, barely had time to react. We were planning to continue our honeymoon after that, so we were coming back just for a day," Tan said. SQ321 made an emergency landing in Bangkok after it was hit by severe turbulence. Being trained medical doctors, Tan and Chan went around the cabin to tend to injured passengers. I went more toward the front of the plane while Amos went to the back," Tan said.

An Airbus A350-941 from Singapore Airlines is preparing to take off on the runway at Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain, on May 1, 2024. The Singapore Airlines flight that encountered severe turbulence on its way from London to Singapore dropped 54 meters in less than five seconds, preliminary findings released Wednesday showed. The Transport Safety Investigation Bureau of Singapore said the sharp altitude drop as well as changes to gravitational forces likely caused the injuries. This sequence of events likely caused the injuries to the crew and passengers," the report said Wednesday. The changes in gravitational forces "likely resulted in the occupants who were not belted up to become airborne," the report said.

Read previewThe turbulence on the deadly Singapore Airlines flight last week was so severe that the plane dropped 178 feet in just four seconds, investigators say. The report details just how suddenly the plane experienced a catastrophic drop, one of the worst turbulence incidents in recent history. The pilots reacted by disengaging the autopilot and manually stabilizing the aircraft for about 20 seconds before re-engaging the autopilot, investigators said. According to the report, the entire incident, from slightly rough air to deadly turbulence, lasted just one minute and two seconds. According to the investigators' report, once the pilots learned that passengers were injured, they diverted the flight to Bangkok.

Ships managed by the Synergy Marine Group — the company that managed the vessel that hit Baltimore's Key Bridge — have been involved in at least three deadly incidents since 2018, according to investigations and statements from officials in Australia, Singapore, and the Philippines. In 2018, a person onboard a vessel managed by Synergy in Australia was killed in an accident involving the ship’s personnel elevator, according to a report from the Australian Transportation Safety Bureau. “Many of these accidents involve the failure to apply existing safety management procedures and/or identified safety barriers that have proven effective in reducing the risks associated with elevator maintenance," the safety board's director, Stuart Macleod, was quoted saying in the report. In 2019, an officer on a Synergy-registered vessel in Singapore was reported missing after “likely fallen overboard while performing inspection or cleaning jobs at the outboard side,” according to a report by Singapore’s Transport Safety Investigation Bureau. The tanker referenced in the Philippine Coast Guard report, Petite Soeur, has been managed by Synergy since October 2022, according to the Electronic Quality Shipping Information System (Equasis) — a global tool promoting maritime safety.
