It was May 21st, twenty twenty-four.

The Boeing seven seventy-seven three hundred ER operating as Singapore Airlines SQ321 was four hours from Changi Airport when the situation changed without warning.

What happened next made international headlines and landed dozens of people in Bangkok hospitals.

But the real story for pilots is not the incident itself.
T
2:19TowerHOST
The first is convective turbulence, the turbulence associated with thunderstorm cells.
T
2:24TowerHOST
Cumulonimbus buildups, the kind of weather general aviation pilots are trained to avoid.
T

In the tropics and the SQ321 flight was crossing one of the most convectively active regions on Earth.

These storms can be massive.

Blue sky, smooth flight, seatbelt sign off, and the aircraft drops.

Pilots call it clear air turbulence.

7:00Bryan RoseveareHOST
It happens where fast-moving air at high altitude rubs against slower air, and there's nothing on the radar because there's no moisture in it.

When Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 dropped 178 feet in 4.6 seconds and a total of 6,000 feet in three minutes, British passenger Geoff Kitchen, 73, suffered cardiac arrest and died.

His wife Linda sustained a head wound and spinal fractures in the incident.
R
71:39Ryan GableHOST
Now, I'm laughing here not because it's funny that his wife suffered a spinal fraction, but, a fracture rather, but that a plane can fall a few hundred feet and people are having heart attacks, dying, and having their spines fractured.

But unfortunately for us, that documentary, that, uh, you know, video recovered from the black box of the plane may not have told the full story unfortunately.

This was posted by Henrik Palmgren, Henrik_Palmgren on X. CNN interviewed pilot Aaron Murphy inside of a flight simulator after he punched in the flight radar numbers of what we are told took place in the Flydubai incident, and Murphy is very clear about what he thinks would have happened if those numbers were accurate.

Let's go to clip number nine here, uh, CNN interviewing a pilot, uh, talking about the physical reality of what is even possible for a plane to do.

I don't think it's re- I don't think it happened.
H
25:41Harrison SmithHOST
I don't think it was real.

25:43Harrison SmithHOST
And I pointed out yesterday that probably about once a year or so, there's some plane that goes through not a attempted hijacking, but just severe turbulence, and you end up with people with concussions and broken legs, and the whole plane i- is basically destroyed on the inside.

And yet, we saw nothing like that during the entire event of the Israeli flight.
