Her husband died on the flight, she broke her spine.

A 74-year-old woman from England, Linda Kitchen, has filed a lawsuit against Singapore Airlines after her husband, Geoff, died during a flight due to severe turbulence. The couple was traveling on a six-week holiday to Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia when the incident occurred in May 2024. During the flight, the plane experienced intense turbulence over Myanmar, forcing it to make an emergency landing in Bangkok. Geoff suffered fatal injuries after falling onto his wife during the turbulence, and he later died from a heart attack caused by the sudden drop. Linda sustained serious injuries, including a broken spine, and spent ten days in the hospital. She now seeks compensation to cover medical expenses. Legal representatives state that the incident highlights the severity of the situation and that the family still has unanswered questions about what exactly happened.
