Singapore Airlines Flight: ‘I Froze With Terror’ – Tourist Recounts Horrifying Moments

A British student has revealed how she ‘froze with terror’ after being catapulted out of her seat on an ill-fated Singapore Airlines flight that hit severe turbulence.

Mia Stevenson, 22 was travelling on flight SQ321 from London to Singapore when it plunged a staggering 6,000 ft. in just three minutes, causing her to be launched into the ceiling of the plane and smash her head.

In terrifying scenes, other passengers somersaulted into the air after being jettisoned out of their seats as coffee and cups of water were thrown into the air and their phones, shoes and cushions flung around.

Twenty people are still in intensive care in Thair hospitals, including six Britons.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline from a hospital in Bangkok, where she is undergoing medical examinations, Ms Stevenson said: “I was partially asleep and the next thing I remember is that I just flew upwards and crashed into the ceiling and then fell down really hard into the aisle. 

“It was over in seconds and I didn’t know what was going on. I was very confused and just froze. I couldn’t understand what had happened. It was terrifying and I was shocked.”

She added: “I lost perception of everything. But I managed to get back into my seat and put my seat belt back on and then it all became a bit of blur.

“It was one of the most frightening experiences of my life but somehow a bit of logic managed to kick in. Once I was back in my seat, I just wanted the plane to land but I can’t tell you how long it was before that happened because I was so dazed.”

Harrowing images taken on board of the aftermath of the incident showed how the cabin was littered with debris as distraught passengers tried desperately to stem the blood flowing from severe cuts and blunt force injuries.
