A Singapore Airlines plane plunged 6,000 feet after experiencing nasty turbulence… leaving one person dead and more than 30 injured.
Check out the clip – you can see the food and debris left behind after the Boeing 777-300 jet hit severe turbulence while flying from London to Singapore on Tuesday… forcing it to make an emergency landing in Bangkok at 3:45 pm local time.
Tracking data from FlightRadar24 showed that the Boeing jet quickly dropped from about 37,000 feet to 31,000 feet in just 5 minutes while flying over the Andaman Sea about 11 hours into the flight.

Dzafran Azmira student on board the flight said Reuters the airline began to tilt and shake before a sudden crash, sending those without seatbelts flying into the ceiling.
He adds that some people hit their heads so hard on the luggage compartments that they dented them… while others hit their heads on the lights and oxygen mask compartment, walking right past them.
Local emergency teams from Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital rushed to the scene to transfer the injured from the track for treatment.
The airline said in a statement: “Singapore Airlines extends its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased”… who has not yet been identified.
This is just the latest in a series of Boeing disasters dating back to January.
