I am not sure if you understand where this accident occurred, as it happened nowhere near the 7/11. The ambulance with the dash cam, shows it route down Soi Nern Plub Wan and there was no flooding. The CCTV posted in the link to the Irish Sun, was from the beer wholesaler.

Thai media reported. “Today at 15.00 Nonthaburi Province, Pol. Col. Suthachai Traisomboon, Deputy Commander and forensic teams traveled to inspect the burned temple structure. This building was found to have been built about 20 years ago, and was steel framed, with wood walls, The buildings are used for visiting monks, but as the temple does not have monks regularly visiting, it was being used for the children, but it remains unclear if they had permission. The interior was completely destroyed by the fire and a fan was found to be the only electrical appliance. Questions earlier, had been raised to if the door was locked, but smoke staining seem to confirm that the door was unlocked and could have been opened before the fire. It is believed that the three children were probably asleep when the fire started and were initially overcome by smoke. The investigation will continue.”

Link to my earlier thread, as I was provided will a live feed to the rescue operation.

Agree on some points, but passengers seem to be saying this was a short event, that may have lasted only about 10 seconds. Thai video link with a passengers account posted above. The accounts of when/if the seat belt light came/was on will always differ, but it will be verified during the investigation, from both the data and cockpit voice recorders The event was very violent, described as like being on a roller coaster, hence the injuries. A pilot analyse I posted above stated that the reduction of height was standard procedure, in turbulence. The pilots priority would be flying the aircraft and they would be unaware of the injuries until cabin crew update them. After becoming aware of the injuries the pilot used a transponder Squawk Code 7700, which indicates an emergency to ATC (Air Traffic Control). Once the flight has been stabilised the pilot informed ATC that it had a mass casualty emergency event and wished to divert to BKK, and required medical support to be on standby. BKK Airport/AOT (Airports of Thailand) put into place their emergency response plan, with RVP (Rendezvous Point) for responders in the car park, with AOT staff and escort vehicles meeting them, a forward incident command post was set up at the airport fire station. Initial triage started on the aircraft, but a full triage area was soon set up below the plane, as can be seen in the pictures with the colour coded tents. A link to a story and pictures of AOT 1 medical team, which led the medical response is below. (This may be in Thai, but my iPad automatically translates). https://www.thaipbs.or.th/news/content/340270 A crisis command centre would be set up in the terminal, with senior officers and officials, who would be liaising with the emergency command post, hospitals, Singapore Airlines, Embassies and government. The full facts will be covered by the investigation, and I would expect an interim report will not take that long, as the plane and ‘black boxes’ are easily accessible. Thailand seems to be leading the investigation throught the Ministry of Transport, CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) and AAIC (The Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee of Thailand). They will be supported by teams from USA, NTSB (National Transport Safety Board), as a Boeing aircraft and also Singapore’s TSIB (Transport Safety Investigation Bureau).

On the night of the accident the road, Soi Nern Plub Wan, was still fully closed, so all traffic had to go up Soi Map Yai Lai 24.(picture below is from the dash cam of an ambulance responding to the scene.The second picture is arriving at the accident scene, from the same ambulance.) I do not post links to the responders videos out of respect, one posters has said it was a personal friend, and they are not suitable for general viewing. Friends of the casualty are seen at the accident scene.

On May 21, it is reported that, Mr. Chulaphong. Thaweesri, Director-General of the Department of Industrial Works, and Mr. Traiphop Wongtrairat, Governor of Rayong Province, held a meeting with relevant agencies, to try to find a solution for disposal of the aluminum dross waste, after being rejected because of protests at the Chonburi factory. The waste will now be stored in large bags on site, to prevent it getting wet and to reduce the smell effecting villagers, as at this time, they cannot find a contractor to deal with the disposal and may have to wait until the 4.6 million baht is received from the court, to appoint one.. Mr. Traiphop revealed that the problem It has been piling up for so long that villagers have lost confidence in the government sector, and hoped to expedite solving the problem, to help improve public relations with the people in the area

Yes sad, but also fortunate there were not more casualties, as this was in the middle of a residential area.

This accident did not happen on Soi Nern Plub Wan, it was on Soi Map Yai Lia 24, because the road works, you show in the picture, diverts all traffic up that road. That is a lot smaller road, it does have some street lighting, but on the night it was raining and visibility was not good, as seen from video from the scene.

I previously has a one year Thai marriage extension and one year work visa in another local country, immigration in both countries never raised any issues when traveling in and out, or when it was extension time.

At 11.07 today, responders from Nong Khaem Fire and Rescue Station were called to a fire at 2-story townhouse on Soi Phetkasem 77/8, Nong Khaem. The premises was being used as a weilding shop and the fire was caused by an oxygen tank that had exploded inside. One worker was found dead. The cause of the incident is being investigated. https://www.thaipbs.or.th/news/content/340295

It is reported that the body was found by a female street cleaner. 11.20 Rescue workers have cut through the concrete base to allow access and removal of the body, and for forensic officers to examine the scene.

The body of a man, believed dead for several days, has been discovered, in the space under a old electrical cabinet, near Romklao Road, Min Buri. As at the time of this post, rescue workers are still trying to recover the body.

Seems that Aeromexico do not like them that much, as they plans to replace their Embraer E190s with the Boeing 737 MAX. https://www.airdatanews.com/aeromexico-will-replace-its-embraer-e190s-with-the-boeing-737-max/

Thai Police spokesman, Pol. Lt. Gen. Achayon confirmed that an autopsy will be carried out in Thailand. He said that the body had been sent to the Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute, for the autopsy.

This passenger described the event as only lasting about 10 seconds. I have edited the video, to just that passenger's account of the incident, link is to the full video, which is in Thai. https://www.thaipbs.or.th/program/Tanloke/watch/ANoTDD RPReplay_Final1716417697.mov

Sad story of 3 orphaned children who died in a fire at Wat Suan Kaew, Nonthaburi. At 00.20 this morning, the bodies were found inside a temple building, following a fire. The victims were a 9-year-old boy and 11-year-old twin boys, orphans that the temple had adopted and were apprentice monks A worker at the temple, said a monk called him and said there was a fire. He found that the fire was burning fiercely and used fire extinguishers to put out the fire, After the fire had been extinguished, the three bodies were found inside. The cause of the fire is still unknown and is being investigated.

This is the full thread of the incident.

AOT issues a thank you message and statement. “Suvarnabhumi Airport (Suvarnabhumi Airport) would like to thank all relevant government and private agencies. for supporting the mission to help victims of the Singapore Airlines Flight SQ321 disaster. who experienced an accident when their plane fell into a turbulence and requested an emergency landing on the evening of May 21, including; The Immigration Office, Customs Department, Samut Prakan Provincial Police Division. Suvarnabhumi Airport Provincial Police Station Royal Initiative Traffic Police Traffic Police Division, Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Company Limited Thai Airways International Public Company Limited and especially the following medical agencies Samut Prakan Province Public Health Samut Prakan Province Incident Reporting and Command Center And hospitals within Samut Prakan Province including various rescue foundations Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital Bangkok Hospital Praram 9 Hospital Piyavate Hospital Vejthani Hospital Thainakarin Hospital Vibharam Hospital Chularat 9 Hospital Prince Suvarnabhumi Hospital“ Seems the airport multi agency emergency response plan went fairly well.

Came across a few more pictures of the emergency response. Ambulances at the RVP in the car park and being escorted airside. Forward emergency incident command post at fire station, airside. Triage area at the gate.

Very difficult to comment on a thread when someone here knows the victim. Best to say, a very sad event, RIP and wish the best to his friends at this time of grief.

The planes registration status now shows it parked at BKK, this will be update when it returns to service.

This analysis of the flight data says this may have been a very short, sudden event that occurred quickly. “So there was a rollercoaster event for two or three seconds, which caused the carnage we have all seen, but then they have subsequently descended to get the aircraft to a safe spot.” Quote from Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA) Vice President and Qantas pilot Mark Hofmeyer. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/aipa-vp-and-qantas-pilot-mark-hofmeyer-talks-singapore-airlines-flight-sq321/news-story/c693b0b0cc5ad2edf535623464fd88eb

Singapore Airlines update 6.

That is best left to medical and legal experts to determine, as compensation will follow.

The cause of death will not be fully determined until a post mortem has been completed. It is not clear if the post mortem will be done in Thailand or the UK, as technically this was not a death in Thailand. It could also be done by both countries. Singapore Airline will be arranging the repatriation of the body, but timing will depend on the condition of his wife and if and when she is able to fly. The family with be talking to the Singapore response team, British Embassy and Thai officials on how to proceed.
