「THE SECOND」が王者に挑戦し、解散の危機を乗り越える：朝日新聞デジタル

In a recent incident on May 23rd, a Singapore Airlines passenger plane encountered severe turbulence while flying over the UK, resulting in the death of one passenger and injuries to over 20 others. The turbulence was so intense that it caused the aircraft to rapidly ascend and descend by approximately 145 meters, leading to spinal and brain injuries for some passengers, with six individuals in critical condition.

The difficulty in detecting such turbulent conditions poses a significant challenge for pilots and crew members to ensure the safety of passengers onboard. Despite advancements in aviation technology, accurately predicting and avoiding turbulent areas remains a complex task.

Passengers are advised to follow safety protocols during flights, such as keeping seat belts fastened at all times, following crew instructions, and remaining seated during turbulent conditions. Airlines are continuously working on improving safety measures and training for their staff to handle such situations effectively.

This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of air travel and the importance of being prepared for unexpected events while flying. Airlines and aviation authorities are constantly striving to enhance safety standards and procedures to minimize the risks associated with turbulent conditions during flights.
