Passangers arrive at Singapore Changi Airport after their Singapore Airlines flight hit severe turbulence that triggered an emergency landing in Bangkok, Thailand. A 73-year-old British man died and more than 70 people were injured Tuesday in what passengers described as a terrifying scene. An initial data analysis by the aviation tracking service Flightradar24 suggested the London-Singapore flight experienced more than one minute of extreme turbulence at around 11,300 metres (37,000 feet) over Myanmar, during which it violently rose and plunged several times.
