Khalil Abd Halim 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2016 that's some heavy turbulence they had and on a big plane like a380, i wonder what would happen to smaller planes in similar situation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted June 5, 2016 I think it is 9M-MNF. Well SQ A380s also experienced similar or worse turbulence than this. Strange that smaller planes don't seem to be involved! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted June 5, 2016 Seatbelts will not help much against carts or other hard stuff flying up and then down onto pax. Must have been a frightening experience for the poor pax and crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope. Actually the smaller A332 also face the same thing. Remember the flight EY 474 to CGK roughly a month ago? And all these come to the Question. How well the Airbuses metals could handle the turbulence compared to Boeing's? Especially with those 777s ... I think I read it somewhere in Capt Lim's blog about this matter.

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) This would accelerate Foxtrot C check now. MPP finally has some job to do. Air turbulence is no joke. I have a friend who previously worked with QR. She was grounded for life after one of her flight went to CAT and a bag fell on her. It was awful news for her and us to swallow. Speedy recovery for all injured. Edited June 6, 2016 by JuliusWong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
