The British passenger who tragically died onboard a Singapore Airlines jet travelling from the UK has been named as Geoffrey Kitchen, a 73-year-old musical theatre director from Bristol. Kitchen, who led the Thornbury Musical Theatre Group, suffered a suspected heart attack during the flight. Approximately 30 other passengers were injured in the incident, and Kitchen’s wife is among those hospitalized, though her condition remains unknown.
The incident occurred around 11 hours after the flight took off from Heathrow. The aircraft hit an air pocket and plummeted 6,000 feet in just minutes, causing chaos and forcing the plane to make an emergency landing at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport.
