“The preliminary information we got was that there were injured passengers on a plane landing at the airport,” Piyalux, 49, told The Straits Times. Flight SQ321, which was bound for Singapore from London, was about three quarters into its 13-hour journey when it encountered severe turbulence. Most of the injuries were fractures and cuts, he said, but he observed that few had life-threatening injuries.That day, the Ruamkantanyu Foundation ferried 25 injured passengers to the hospital for treatment. It also transported the body of the British man, later identified by British press as musical theatre director Geoffrey Kitchen, to the morgue.
