Coming up next on the morning show, we have an interesting segment for you. Recently, a tragic event occurred on a Singapore Airlines flight when it experienced severe turbulence while flying from London to Singapore. The plane dropped 7,000 feet in just six minutes, causing chaos and panic among the 229 passengers on board.
One of the passengers, 73-year-old Geoffrey Kitchen, suffered a heart attack and unfortunately passed away after the plane made an emergency landing in Thailand. The incident left many people wondering how such a terrifying situation could happen.
To shed some light on the matter, we had aviation expert Richard Quest from CNN join us on the show. However, things took a strange turn when he decided to use props to explain the turbulence tragedy. Our host Natalie Barr was left looking a bit uneasy as Quest pulled out a miniature plane and a piece of paper with numbers on it to demonstrate the events that occurred.
With these props, Quest showed how the plane was flying smoothly until it hit bad weather over Myanmar. Due to a lack of communication, the pilots were unaware of the turbulence ahead and the plane started to drop. Quest used the numbers on the paper to explain how the plane only moved up and down by a few hundred feet at a time, but the force of the turbulence was incredibly strong.
He then went on to use a makeup compact as a prop to demonstrate the impact of the turbulence on passengers. As he dropped the compact, he explained how passengers could have been flung into the air and hit the ceiling of the plane.
Barr looked taken aback by the demonstration, and as the segment came to an end, she asked Quest about the importance of wearing seatbelts during flights. Quest responded by questioning why anyone would sit in a metal tube flying at high speeds without being properly restrained. He emphasized the seriousness of the situation and urged passengers to always wear their seatbelts.
Photos from inside the plane showed the extent of the damage, with debris scattered down the aisles and blood stains visible. It was a terrifying experience for the passengers, and in total, 71 of them were admitted to the hospital.
As we wrap up this segment, we want to remind our viewers to always wear their seatbelts during flights, as you never know when turbulence could strike.
