Yesterday (21st), a Boeing 777-300ER flight from London, England to Singapore encountered serious trouble in the air, resulting in a single passenger on the plane and 30 injured. The flight was forced to land in Bangkok, Thailand. The most feared thing about riding a plane is to encounter trouble, but trouble is unpredictable. Once we encounter it, what can we do to save our lives?

The most dangerous "clear sky" is difficult to predict

According to the foreign exchange report, preliminary data shows that SIA passengers may be the most dangerous "clear sky" to encounter. Generally speaking, if it is weather or rainy, the flight operator can use weather forecast and use the air thunder monitor to prevent the weather. But experts point out that clear sky is irrelevant to wind and rain. It usually occurs without obvious warnings in the sky ahead, making it difficult to measure, and technology today is difficult to predict. And with global warming, clear sky is becoming more and more common.

{99} What passengers can do

According to the 2021 report by the National Transportation Safety Commission, most passengers who have suffered severe injuries have not provided safety belts. They may be using their hands to wash or walk in the aisle, people are being knocked down or swept, or restaurants hit people, etc., causing injuries. And any items may be swept away during turmoil, including tableware, luggage items falling from the suitcase above, etc. When encountering trouble, not only passengers and all crew members are in danger, but everyone on the plane should be alert. The following 5 things are something we can do as passengers.

1. Help the safety belt throughout the journey. Once a disturbance occurs, passengers who have not helped the safety belt and objects that have not been fixed in the machine will be swept away. This is the most dangerous and the biggest risk that will cause injuries. Also, since no one knows when the aircraft will encounter trouble or other accidents, it is best to contact the safety belt when sleeping.

2. Stay alert and be calm

Passengers should be vigilant during the flight. Whenever they encounter trouble, they should also keep calm as much as possible to ensure their safety, and listen carefully to the instructions of flight operators and flight attendants.

3. Do not move frequently if necessary. Don’t drink too much water and diuretic beverages to reduce the number of times you go to the toilet. Whenever you wash your hands, you will encounter trouble. You must hold the handrail tightly to prevent injuries.

4. Keep your belongings

Abide by the restrictions on bringing items on your own. Do not misuse items that are not used during the flight. Put them in your bag and then put them under the seat.

5. Select a seat

If you can choose a seat when you are in the seat, it is recommended by Kris Major, a British flight attendant who has more than 20 years of experience, to try sitting near the front half of the aircraft. When the aircraft sways, you may not feel anything in front, but the person behind may be shaken and tilted.

What crew members can do

According to abcNEWS reports, standardized security procedures have greatly helped prevent the occurrence of many serious injuries, including checking weather forecasts, using air raid monitors, etc. In case of anticipated turmoil, the flight operator shall report to the owner of the machine and suspend customer service.

1. Suspension of customer service

At this time, any customer service must be suspended to avoid any tableware and hot liquids flying. The hand-propelled car for tax-free products should also be fastened first.

2. Make sure if there are anyone in the warehouse that is

to quickly guide passengers who are also in the warehouse to return to their seats to help with safety belts.

3. Ensure your own safety.

The crew must also return to their seats quickly, or sit in the available seats nearby to provide safety belts.

In fact, most of the current accidents will not cause serious casualties. According to Larry Cornman, a planning scientist at the National Center for National Aggression Research, which has long studied turbulence, it is not surprising that turbulence causes minor injuries or even fractures, but deaths are rare because modern aircraft are mostly strong enough to deal with turbulence. However, it is still necessary to emphasize again that passengers should be vigilant and not move often unless necessary. They should always be fastened with safety belts as the first protection.
