The hand of death is in the middle of the sky! Several passengers were injured due to the overturning situation of the plane in mid-air, and now the Singapore Airlines authorities have announced that they will compensate them. Recently, a Singapore Airlines flight was flying from London to Singapore. The plane suddenly started shaking in mid-air after coming to the border area of Myanmar and Thailand.

The passengers inside the plane were terrified by this incident. The ‘Boeing 777-300’ plane of Singapore Airlines started shaking loudly. Several passengers were injured due to the incident; a 73-year-old British citizen died. To deal with the situation, the plane made an emergency landing in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.

Then, with this, Chapan Uttor begins. Ultimately, Singapore Airlines agreed to pay $10,000 in compensation to the injured passengers. Singapore Airlines also announced plans to pay 25,000 US dollars in compensation for those seriously injured. In addition, according to the International Civil Aviation Law, this airline is forced to pay 1000 US dollars to all the passengers on that plane.

According to BBC sources, the injured passengers were rescued and admitted to the hospital after the plane landed in the bank. About 100 air passengers were treated there for a long time. As soon as the incident came to the fore, the administration was shaken. An inquiry commission was also set up to investigate the incident. When the initial report of that investigation came out, many people were shocked.

It is known that the plane started to rise and fall loudly in mid-air at the border of Thailand. The plane descended 178 feet in just 4.6 seconds. The passengers were terrified by the strong tremors. On the other hand, passengers also claim that this accident happened because the seat belt was not on.

Apart from Singapore Airlines, the British government also announced special compensation for the victims. After this incident, strong discussions have started on the part of the airlines, as importance will be placed on wearing seatbelts in the aircraft at all times.
