SIA plane made dramatic drop’

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - There was little warning of the chaos that was to come as passengers on Singapore Airlines Flight SQ321 relaxed with just three hours to Singapore after a long haul flight from London. But as the Boeing 777-300R soared above Myanmar, it suddenly hit extreme turbulence, wildly throwing passengers, flight attendants, inflight meals and kettles around the cabin.

"Suddenly, the aircraft started tilting up and there was shaking," Malaysian student Dzafran Azmir said.

The 28-year-old braced himself and checked if he had his seatbelt on. He did. Many of the other passengers did not, he said.
