    Sound like seriously damaged patients but I thanked Thai govt and hospitals for the vast response and continuous care for them all.

    I can say how lucky the pilot was to have landed in Thailand. They're in the hands of professional doctors now.

    If only 12 crew members returned by relief flight, then 6 are still in the hospitals in Bangkok..

    Turbulence gets more n more severe. Use the seatbelt for fixing yrself with the seat.

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    I don't understand why a large number of people are not belted when in flight? It seems more than 80% of these passengers are not wearing seat belts all the time when seated as per recommendation. Do they have comprehension issue, attitude issue or can't be bothered?
