Plane from Singapore ‘freefalls’ in violent turbulence

Ms Crosland was travelling on the plane with her partner and two children to visit her mother-in-law for her 60th birthday, when it was hit by turbulence in the early hours of Friday morning.: “It was caused by a pocket of cold air, which can happen, and you can’t detect it on a radar. So they obviously can detect changes in temperature and turbulence. Normally, they can pre-anticipate it, but this specific air bubble can’t be detected. So we just flew straight through it.

“Everyone was completely panicking and filled with fear,” she said. “Normally when you know there's turbulence or something happens, you look to the cabin crew to support and the ease and the cabin crew were completely frantic as well.” Ms Crosland praised the cabin crew staff for their response to the turbulence and said both her children managed to stay asleep during the incident.
