This is the plane at BKK Airport, with ambulances attending the casualties.

 

The plane declared an emergency an squawked 7700 code, before landing just after 16.00


Squawk 7700 : An emergency has occurred with the aircraft. Both technical reasons or illness of passengers.

Seatbelts need to be worn at all times while seated.

No matter how "uncomfortable" it is.


Yes fully agree, but surely the crew must’ve been aware they were flying into a storm, and the seat beat sign was on.

 

Very little details available yet.

No detail but in these mass casualty events seated passengers who have belts secured are not usually harmed

 

So why do many people feel  seatbelts are "unconfortable", I never noticed myself?

As we know not all people wear seatbelts or were going to the toilet.

 

Journey from hell for all involved

Yes agree.

 

Latest report is the plane hit an ‘air pocket’ and dropped 6000 feet.
