Inside the cabin of flight 50321 from london to singapore, after it hit extreme turbulence in the skies over myanmar. It led to the death of a british passenger in his 70s who had a suspected heart attack and more than 50 other people on the Singapore Airlines flight were injured, seven of them critically. And just look at this graph that shows the altitude of the plane over several hours you can see how the plane plummeted by around 6,000 feet in just a few minutes. Not everyone had a seat belt on, and objects and passengers were hurled around the cabin by the turbulence. The plane then made an Emergency Diversion to bangkok in thailand, from where our South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head joins us. Here at Bangkok Airport they have sent a special flight to pick up those passengers who did not need medical treatment to help but get on to their ultimate destination in singapore but we believe more than 70 people needed to be treated in hospital here in thailand. Some of those were very seriously injured by the severe drop the plane went through. It was for all of them completely unexpected and completely terrifying. Shaken by their terrifying ordeal, the passengers were met by several ambulances as they landed in bangkok. Theyd been eating their breakfast when the boeing airliner plunged without warning. Jerry was travelling with six other Family Members to a wedding in australia. Bit of turbulence, and then suddenly the plane plunged. I dont know how far, but they said 6,000 feet. It didnt seem like 6,000 feet. But it was a long way. So sudden, there was no warning at all, and i ended up hitting my head on the ceiling, my wife did. Some poor people who were Walking Around ended up doing somersaults. It was instantaneous. It really was. And horrible. The aircraft was over thailand, on the last stage of a 12 hour flight from london to singapore, when it dropped a staggering 6,000 feet, experts believe, throwing any passengers not wearing seat belts into the ceiling. The pilot then declared an emergency and asked to land at bangkok, the closest airport. Translation we currently have seven cases of critical injuries, 23 cases of medium injuries, including a flight attendant. The rest are minor injuries. 0ccasional Air Turbulence is a risk people know comes with modern day flying, but the Singapore Airlines crew told passengers that this was the worst turbulence they had ever experienced. It will take an investigation now to find out whether this was something that came Out Of The Blue or whether there were other factors involved. Images from inside the aircraft show just how powerful the forces were that the passengers were subjected to a rare occurrence, certainly, but a frightening one too. Jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. Lets go straight to Changi Airport in singapore where families are waiting anxiously for their relatives to arrive and Monica Miller is there for us now. There is a highly secured room where relatives as well as friends who came to pick up their loved ones is that almost seven hours ago, when that almost seven hours ago, when that fight was expected to land, are now waiting for word on any information they can get. As we heard from that report, there is expected to be applied that Singapore Airlines has just for the passengers who are well enough to get on that flight, to get to their final destination, however it is unclear when it will take off and when it will land. We had seen one relative who was here earlier. She was clearly visibly upset, but what Singapore Airlines has offered them is comfort and even some mental help, officials here are to help them guide them through this process because as you can imagine, you came to pick up your loved ones at the airport and you hear about an Emergency Landing in bangkok and some of these harrowing stories about people who are critically injured, it is hard to assess exactly what is going on and this has been an incredibly stressful couple of hours. We do understand as well that singapore officials have gone to bangkok to ruby do an assessment of what happened on this flight.

That can be harder to predict. But at milder levels turbulence is very common and passengers will notice some bum venus but it does nothing to worry about. More severe turbulence is less prone to it than others and it can pick be much more serious. This incident sounds pretty exceptional in its intensity and the airline has described it as sudden and extreme has up it has resulted in clearly a terrifying experience for everyone involved, lots of injuries, and clearly sadly a man has died as.

At least 30,000 people were given Blood Products infected with hiv and hepatitis c between the 1970s and early 90s 3,000 have died. As our Health Editor hugh pym reports, interim payments of £210,000 will be paid within 90 days for the most urgent cases. Hopeful anticipation, waiting for the governments statement, four boys and their loved ones who were at the special school treloar� s in hampshire. I would like to make a statement following the final report of the infected blood inquiry. Theyre haemophiliacs who were subjected to trials without consent and were infected with hiv and hepatitis c. The whole communitys bravery through immense suffering is what has enabled justice today. Of the 122 haemophiliacs who attended the school, 75 have already died from their infections. With our Firm Commitment to compensate those touched by the scandal, the infected Blood Community knows that their cries forjustice have been heard. In a moment of unity, the Opposition Benches agreed. And i repeat our commitment to work on a cross party basis to help deliver the Compensation Scheme and get the money, the final money to victims, as soon as possible. So who will get compensation . Therell be payments to those infected or their estate if theyve died, also to those affected partners, family and friends looking after a loved one. Payments will be exempt from tax and not means tested. The final payment will be made by the end of the year. Therell be interim payouts of 210,000 within 90 days to those infected. This follows a first interim payment in 2022. Itll be run by a new body led by sir Robert Francis, whos already drawn up Compensation Plans for the inquiry. So what did the treloar students think . Very pleased to hear that sir Robert Francis will be chairing it, looking across this for us, because, as they say, his report was everything we could have wanted and more. The devils in the detail. Its all words at the moment. Theres nothing concrete, is there . Speed is of the essence to us. We were hoping for the commitment | that this would be done and dusted | before the next election. I think the best thing is that theyve said that theyre going to include everyone. So thats families, children, siblings. Dina and her husband dave were at the commons to hear the statement. She contracted hepatitis c through a blood transfusion. Shes reserving finaljudgment. Its a step forward, but im probably going to put it away to save until we know exactly what the full compensation package is going to be. Still concerned, hopeful. At least theres some progress now. I mean, theyve been stonewalling. Now, for over 12 months, theyve had the final report on compensation. Its emerged that some victims might get a total, including interim compensation, of £2. 5 million. But right now, they feel cautious and needing more reassurance about what will happen. Hugh pym, bbc news. One of those directly affected isjo vincent. In 2013 she had tests that showed a malfunctioning liver two years later she found out she had hepatitis c. The blood in the transfusion she was given in 1988 after the birth of her daughter was infected. These are her thoughts on todays announcement. When i walked into the House Of Commons this morning, i felt really good. Wed had a good day. The report gave us everything that we wanted. Rishi had made a heartfelt apology, and then itjust kind of went downhill really rapidly. I cant get life insurance. Health insurance. Its a struggle to live. Its a struggle to. To be. Because you always have this knowledge. That today could be the day that you get the liver cancer. And ive seen so many people die. How many recommendations have been made over the years by different inquiries that still havent been fulfilled . That is what were up against now. This will be forgotten soon. Snooze today. We wont. I will live because this is not going to be forgotten. Im not going to let this be forgotten. Jo vincent there reacting to todays Government Announcement about compensation. Water companies in england and wales want customers bills to increase by between 2a and 91 over the next five years, according to figures compiled by the consumer watchdog. Our business editor, simonjack, is here with more. There is a huge range in the increases to annual average bills that the Different Companies are asking the regulator to approve these numbers include inflation of 2 per year. At the top, Southern Water with a rise from £479 a year now to £915 a year in 2030 an eye watering 91 rise. South staffs water, asking for a rise from £178 a year to £221 a rise of only 24 . Often the companies with the biggest problems like southern and thames need the most investment, so the angriest customers may see the biggest rises, which wont sit well. I dont think people are prepared for the magnitude of what were seeing proposed here. People do want to see improvements. They do understand that that takes investment. But i think the scale of whats being proposed here is going to come as a real shock. And this is why Water Companies have to double down their efforts to explain what people are getting for their money. Water Companies Say the regulators focus for years has been on keeping bills low, which has meant less investment. They say bills need to rise if they are to fund £100 billion in planned spending on improving the water system over the next five years in england and wales. The Water Industry is publicly owned in scotland and Northern Ireland. Water companies are not expected to get everything they asked for. We already know that 0fwat has told thames water it wont get the 59 its asking for prompting its owners, big domestic and foreign pension and investment funds, to withdraw a planned cash injection of £3 billion, prompting fears for its future. But the bbc understands they will approve over half what companies are asking for in some cases much more than half. But one thing seems certain bills are going up faster than they have for many years. 0fwat will publish its preliminary ruling on bill rises onjune 12th. You can take a longer look and find what your Water Company wants to charge by going to the bbc business website.
