[still kicking]

Twelve people injured in major turbulence on Qatar Airways plane flying from Doha to Dublin | PerthNow

I believe this will be key element of any possilbe civil litigation against SIA over this incidenet.  This is from the preliminary TSIB repornt:

 

"The investigation appears to show that it took 11 seconds for the seatbelt sign to be switched on after the turbulence began. The pilots took over control from the autopilot.

The ordeal for passengers and crew continued"

 

It probably took 11 seconds for either the FO or Captain to turn on the Seat Belt sign because they were busy maintiaing control of the aircraft but lawyers for the dead or serverly injured might not care.

"Dr Adinun Kittiratanapaibool explaining that staff acted with good intentions to protect patient welfare."

Now this is quite an interesting wrapping around the "freedom of speech" subject in Thailand. Poor in communication to start with, Thailand added some interesting stepping stones preventing what is known elsewhere as ....... freedom of speech. 

Dr Adinun explanation confirms the incident; assume though that the silenced gentleman will be speaking his mind once he gets off the plane in Adelaide. Maybe Dr Adinun should have kept his mouth shut instead - just thinking out loud?
