"This kind of incident rarely happens where there is death after a plane is hit with severe turbulence," says Kittipong Kittikachorn, the director of Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok, Thailand, where a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 was forced to make an emergency landing after being hit by severe turbulence on a flight from London. One person was killed and 30 were injured during the incident. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
