Singapore Airline Turbulence by Light78: 10:08pm On May 25
My advice for people who travel a lot by air is that they should always wear their seat belts to always be in a safe position. A man died as a result of the turbulence.

Scientific fact: You can never know when it will occur or happen. No devices can detect that. ( Clear Air Turbulence)

The normal way of detecting turbulence will be from the pilot, sighting cloud movements and stuff like that, but not Clear Air Turbulence.


Observation: It was reported that SQ321 suddenly dropped by 6,000 ft as a result of the turbulence when cruising at 37 ft.

Imagination: Imagine yourself on a plane without a seat belt on. Food was served and you were having your lunch. ( some people won't want to wear seat belts each time they eat because they want to feel comfortable)

Now the turbulence happened and the plane was hit by upward air coming down at an unknown speed. Let's say as the plane is dropping, the food you have will come to your face, or rather, your head will hit the plane ceiling or rather you will be launched upwardly. ( because the plane is falling at an unknown speed while you also falling, and the speed is incomparable thereby launching you to the top) It's just like the picture I attached.

Imagine your two hands to be the plane, the rounded paper ball to be you. Try falling from a chair to the ground and you will observe the paper ball will hit your top palm.

Photo 1: Before heavy turbulence without a seat belt on.

Photo 2: unexpected downward air hit ( or rather a dramatic drop) causing the plane to descend more than you, thereby causing serious injury.

That's how dangerous turbulence could be without a seat belt on when the plane gets knocked down by downward air.
