SQ321 incident: 22 passengers being treated for spinal cord injuries

Nerve damage never regenerate however neuroplasticity may help. The will to live + seeing yourself not in a wheelchair is already a challenge to most. Being paralysed for the rest of your life & not able to do all the things you enjoy is a life sentence to many. You have not mentioned depression, suicide & ptsd yet.

I was in a school bus accident. I hit the top and came down destroying my spine from a compression injury. My students had minor issues. I was trying to get to them because they were crying for me. 25 years later, I still suffer every day.😢

The injuries look serious and can have life long impact especially on elderly patients and those already having underlying medical issues

Jill is brilliant here for filtering out the heavy medical jargon and nuances used by this doctor seems quite sonorous and can be hard for layman to graple with but still this Doctor speaks very well and clear

Aircraft did not free fall 6000 feet as reported. On stabilising aircraft when approaching Bangkok airport aircraft descended to 31000 feet from 37000 feet. Please report correctly. Thanks

I think CNA needs to stop saying that the aircraft fell 6000ft. It didn’t.

Am pretty sure soon CNA Insider will do a documentary on Airplane Turbulence and Safety Measure especially on seat belt issue and am so looking forward to watch it

Good to have these insights with experts here at least publics can learn from this turbulence aftermath

Nerve damage can be devastating not only from not being able to walk again because of a severed spinal cord, but there are millions of nerves all over the body that when injured can leave you in long term chronic pain for many years, I myself was a pedestrian hit by a vehicle 2 years ago and had blunt force trauma to my face fracturing my nose and then I developed pricking tingling and intense burning sensations on forehead,nose,temples and the pain is constant 24/7 and all you get from doctors is Lyrica or Amitriptyline meds with a ton of negative side effects but no diagnoses until recently after seeing 3 specialists and now referred to pain management and finally they say I got post traumatic trigeminal neuropathy which is different from classical trigeminal neuralgia and it interferes with every aspect of daily life and has a big effect on mental health also

Using a seatbelt in case there is substantial turbulence on a flight in Southeast Asia is crucial for safety, as it helps prevent injuries and ensures passengers remain secure in their seats.

That's very sad and unfortunate on getting those injuries 😢

Can give a breakdown how many passengers or % of them were injured in each cabin class? E.g. 0% in First Class seats, 5% in Business Class seats, 95% in Economy Class seats.

Include these souls injured in our prayers for recovery , no matter how long it takes…. their wellbeing in mind and body, and also for their loved ones.

CNA pay attention. The host talks nonsense about "free falling for 6,000 feet". After the turbulence, the captain made a 6,000 feet descent toward Bangkok from 37,000 feet to 31,000 which was not part of the turbulence event, but a standard controlled descent to a new flight level and took about 6 minutes at a normal rate of descent. It is all clear from the flight data, which is public. The data shows the turbulence before that: sudden changes in flight level starting at 07:49:24 UTC for about a minute, and the largest drop was about 550 feet. Stop reporting nonsense please, and pay attention. Many media also have already corrected this incorrect reporting. And I made comments to your mistakes on this previously. Hope you also correct this right away and apologise for your previous incorrect and unprofessional reporting. You can thank me

Will be given free for life travels on sq321? Will airbags be installed on the ceiling areas? How about anti-gravitons?

OMG 😬 hope they recover scary

Is this really due to turbulences only? Turbulences usually shake the plane rather than causing it to also drop that much. There might be other issues at play as well.

Doctor uses Oxford and Cambridge English like guarded and deficit? I thought deficit is used in financial statements, can also be used to describe for injuries recovery. Doctor's Ang Moh very powerful. The host is requesting the doctor to speak simple English for the masses to understand. Good job host.

Unexpected severe turbulence most severely impacts crew (who are walking around doing their jobs, and thus un-secured) and passengers of two types: (1) those enroute to the lav; but more often (2) careless or ignorant passengers who are not belted in (even loosely). All tragic, but #2 needlessly hazardous.

SIA is partially liable for damages. Sue SIA until it files for chapter 11. This is a multi million dollar lawsuit.
