This Tuesday, May 21, 2024, a plane connecting London to Singapore had to land urgently after an accident in mid-flight. One passenger died and several others were injured. A few hours after the tragedy, images spread across social networks.

One person died and several others were injured on board a Singapore Airlines flight that experienced "severe turbulence"  during his journey from London to Singapore. It had to be redirected to Bangkok on Tuesday, the company said.

The tremors were very violent, as evidenced by the images from the aircraft a few hours after the accident which cost the life of a passenger this Tuesday.

The devastated passenger compartment

"This is the final result in the cabin after going through significant turbulence", soberly introduces the FL360 Aero account, which regularly publishes news from the aviation industry.

The images speak for themselves. A cabin upside down, masks hanging in the air, equipment detached from the walls, lying on the ground… hellip; There is no doubt that a violent scene played out in the passenger compartment this morning.

The circumstances of the accident remain unclear

For the moment, note our colleagues from Parisien, it is difficult to know exactly what happened in the ;rsquo;machine during flight.

As for the causes of the accident, one of the favored hypotheses at the moment is that of a "hole ;air". An area of ​​low pressure in the airspace, which causes the craft to fall, suddenly plunged into an environment in which it is not prepared to fly. The plane fell 6,000 feet in three minutes, note Sky News, or 1 830 meters.

The slightest turbulence can cause significant shaking at such a speed, around 800 km/h. For example, notes the specialist Xavier Tytelman with the Parisien, "all it takes is a bump of 20&nbsp ;cm so that the meal tray flies away and you hit the ceiling.

Airport General Manager Kittipong Kittikachorn, quoted by The Guardian, explains that "the air pockets must have been quite large", to cause such damage inside.
