This particular incident had nothing to do with Boeing's recent failures. The 777-300ER is a tried and tested workhorse that's been in operation since 2003 with minimal incidents. We'll have to wait to see what the investigation says, but if anyone's to blame it would be either pilot error or ATC error. My guess is that it was a freak incident that was unavoidable and therefore no one's to blame.
Blaming Boeing for the UK man's death is beyond ridiculous. He died of a heart attack and apparently had a known/historic heart condition. He probably never experienced severe turbulence before and thought the plane was going to crash. Turbulence affects ALL aircraft. Doh! The fact that the 777 survived a once-in-a-generation extreme turbulence event and landed safely with its structural integrity intact pays testament to the plane's toughness.
Agreed. I'm lead to believe by a member SIA that that 777 is back in Singapore for repairs etc. So structurally sound able to fly back to base, not too bad Boeing.

@@thegoodthebadandtheugly579 Thank you. I used to watch him all the time he was very good and obviously still is. I couldn't figure out why he got fired. I knew there was a scandal. I was going to look it up until you refreshed my recollection.
Don’t forget 2 of the whistle blowers who came into town to be interviewed against Boeing committed suicide. The first one did the first interview and was scheduled to come back for the second interview but decided not to make it.
@@jasonbender2459 Most of Boeing's issues are with the new 737 Max. The 777 has been around for almost 30 years and has an excellent safety record. Singapore Airlines has operated this particular plane since 2008.
I am an oil and gas worker and I am constantly travelling across 3 continents to get to my work place and airplane is the main transportation of it. Most people agree that Boeing has a lot problem and they have to make it right. But on Singapore Airlines case, I believe I have to wait for official investigation report. I feel sorry for the fatality in this turbulence case of SQ and honestly i really admired and respectfull to SQ Pilot and Crew to handle this turbulence and their ground response upon the arrivals at Bangkok.
Singapore Airlines has operated this plane since 2008 without issue so it's either just bad luck with running into clear air turbulence or some kind of crew error.
@@stefansekulic7903 I think in this case it's probably bad luck, I've flown this route many times if there's turbulence its usually over the indian ocean. I think they just got unlucky, and the quick reaction to descend is another sign that the crew didn't expect it.
Clear Air Turbulence is always going to be a problem since it is not detectable by onboard instruments until the aircraft is in that air. Since it often arises from wind flows aloft crossing there are some clues in the weather front forecasts but localised effects may be too small to appear. I agree with Richard, always wear your seatbelt and be seated as much as possible... A pilot.
Nothing to do with the aircraft or airline. Clear air turbulence can affect anybody. I experienced it twice in the 80s, working as a flight attendant, once on the DC10 and the 2nd time on the A310
I am sure that the airline would be inspecting the plane for structural damage as a matter of abundant precaution. Airplanes are built to withstand sustained airframe stress over the lifecycle whereas in this incident, the airframe would be subject to unusual stress in a short period of time. This is somewhat akin to a car being knocked about by a few big potholes while cruising on a smooth highway.
@@vintagebeliever5023 the person was a 75 year old that died from a heart attack. Heart attacks and strokes are becoming increasingly common over the last few years too. Many cases of pilots dying and becoming incapacitated too recently. I don’t think they blamed those on turbulence.
Medias commenting negative about SIA 777 turbulence but they even appreciated to the pilot who managed to make an emergency safety landing and save the lives of 200+ ...🤔
As someone who has worked in the airline industry, have many friends and also relatives whom also are employed within, and follow air craft disasters, there is generally never just "one" issue or failure that creates a catastrophic incident. There is a chain of events. From engineering/ maintenance to poor quality control to weather and even human error. It is still one of the safest forms of transport when you consider how many aircraft are flying world wide at the same time everyday. Always wear your seat belt while seated, no different to a car! The concern going forward is climate change and future air currents at various heights.
Whoever the hell your guest is today, I absolutely love him. I’ve been freaking terrified of flying for so long, but listening to him gave some clarity instead of the scare mong that the press give out who wanna marry him he is awesome
For the sake of accuracy let’s not forget BOAC flight 911, which was destroyed by turbulence near Mount Fuji in 1966. Lee wave turbulence it may have been, but nevertheless it is not true to say airframe failures have never occurred from such effects.
Yep, also Braniff 352 flight in Texas. They accidentally flew into a thunderstorm due to radar attenuation, such severe weather that the radar didn't display the storm's worst spot, so that's where they flew. Many years ago as well, radar wasn't so great. Very sad.
I have been on a BOAC plane that hit clear air turbulence and fell couple thousand feet in 1973. The crew were hurt but we were being served tea between Trinidad and Barbados
Kudos to Morgan and Quest for pulling off an highly interactive session on turbulence during flight. Actually, turbulence is clearly an upper atmosphere phenomenon and the best way for highly vulnerable human beings to handle it is by wisely buckling up above 30,000 ft if they value their lives, period ! Otherwise, it could be "egg in a bottle" ala Quest and no one should be blamed. Also, nitpicking on Boeing and climate-change, without authentic evidences wouldn't be wise too ! ❤
I do not always agree with some of your opinions, Piers but you are undeniably an endearing character and of kindred spirit. I miss England but I return annually to send quality time with my beloved family; not to mention that I am homesick! I will be flying with Singapore Airlines from Brisbane, Australia in July; not only will I be wearing my seatbelt at all times but I will also bring along my tin hat! All Best.
Finally a sensible dissemination of this incident. The pilot flew through a storm in the biggest car wash in the world. Monsoon season approaches and this was the first bite. THIS WAS NOT A BOEING PROBLEM…..This was a plane flying through a storm…more pilot error than anything else. I flew through this area a few hours before …it was already developing. This was a B777…pretty much the strongest plane ever built! It will be back flying within a week or so, and that’s after they tidy up the inside.
A huge thank you to Mr. Quest for reassuring me. As a person who is afraid of flying I was relieved to hear what he had to say about the sturdiness and integrity of the modern airplane's design. Yes mistakes and incidents will always happen, but if destined, I would rather face turbulence in a well-built and well-tested plane.
Glad to see they've dialled down the drama of this incident. Turbulence happens, just be aware and prepared. Lightly fasten your seat belt and please don't scream. That's more scary than the turbulence.
I know a little bit about vertical descent. I landed in a storm and the aircraft did a near vertical descent, at really high speed. People were screaming with fear and with the excruciating pain in their ears. My son was crying with the pain in his ears and I understand why. The pain in my ears was horrific, I thought my eardrums were literally going to blow out of my head. It's the only way i can describe it, apart from saying times it by two and you might be near how it felt. Yes we landed ok, although my friend who saw our plane coming in thought for a second that we were stuffed. Put me off flying in package jets for ever, and i've laughed with a plane full of guy's as we hit turbulence and bounced up and down like a ball in a Hercules flying into Holland for a Market Garden Remembrance Day😇
Really? I am an airline pilot with over 30 years in the cockpit. I fly widebody jets, A330. So much of what you are saying here is false. If you experienced that kind of ear pain then you were in a unpressurized airplane and or had a head cold with blocked Eustachian tubes. which help to equalize pressure, and/or most likely not in a pressurized jet. That low to the ground the cabin pressurization, where you were seated, would have been at ground level. I have no idea what a “package jet” even is and I’ve been doing this for over 40 years total. Explain please. By the way, all airplanes do a “vertical descent” that’s how we land, by coming down. I’m not saying that what you experienced didn’t happen. I’m saying the way you describe it didn’t happen. I have literally thousands of takeoffs and landings at this point in my life. Never experienced anything like what you say. Never. Lastly - one event does not make you an expert in “vertical descents” it makes you a passenger. The guys at the front of the house are the experts.
@@Steve757-fl1hd Bullcrap it didn't happen is exactly what you're saying. Not understanding what I mean by package jet show's how picky your comment is. It happened exactly the way I described it. You're just a troll, I reckon the only planes you've flown were made from balsa wood 😇
@@Steve757-fl1hd btw unlike you, I never claimed to be an expert in vertical descent. However I do know that gradual descent is the normal way a plane approaches an airstip to land, and that a vertical, speedy, descent is not normal at all.
@@Angel-Adramelech most airports, we don’t call them landing strips and haven’t for decades, require steep approaches. It’s a part of what is known as “noise abatement arrivals.” Have to keep the locals happy and content. We also call an approach like that a “slam dunk.” Well, I’ve been slam dunked plenty of times. Airports were initially built out in the boonies. Over time the city built up around the airports and what was once way out and now surrounded by people who insist on living there even though they hate airplanes and airports. Go figure. Take some time and learn our airplane talk. PS.. we also do noise abatements departures. These are done at a steep angles and at reduced thrust. The reduced thrust is done immediately after takeoff. It’s like driving your car up a steep hill at 20 mph. Not always pleasant.
@@Angel-Adramelech my - a little pissy are we today? I doubt it and still do. Package jet is a term you made up. Never heard it. Nope. DC9s, 727s, A320, A330, 757 and L188. You my friend, are talking to the real deal. 32 years and mostly in the left seat. Those years equate to close to 30,000 accident free hours. Not a troll at all - dislike people that make up stuff about flying.
Richard Quest not allowing himself to turn something into a bigger issue than what it is. Nice to hear someone who is totally balanced and subjective, there aren't enough of those type of people about
There were problems on the Singapore Airlines 777 which hit turbulence. Onboard weather radar showed two storm cells ahead, but the radar could not detect the third cell, hiding behind the first two. That third cell was the culprit. Question: Why didn't the Captain or F.O. ask the cabin staff to see to it that passengers buckled up? Why wasn't an announcement made? Why was a meal service carried on, even though turbulence was ahead? This error in judgment led to the number of injuries sustained by passengers. There was no structural problem with the 777, which is a robust, reliable, and generally trouble free aircraft, well liked by flight crews, who say it is a dream to fly. Piers Morgan seems unable to distinguish between a 737 Max, and a 777 or a 747. You can't tar all Boeing aircraft with the same brush, but that's how Morgan gets viewers, by being alarmist when there is no cause for alarm.
What are these “problems” with the 777 that you mention? I doubt he flew into a cell. He might have, but I have my doubts. I’m sure if they knew there was CAT ahead they notified the FAs and told them to secure the cabin, put the carts away and ask the passengers to buckle. But, you know that’s the problem with CAT - you just never know. Do you? We’ll have to wait to see the report as to what happened. If you have something in your vast years of experience why don’t you call the investigating agencies and tell them you know there was “something wrong with the 777. “ I’m sure they’d be interested to hear what you know. AS far as the media goes, I’m sure you know less than they do.
If every airline flight could be as smooth sailing as this interview, I wouldn't need a drink or a pill to ease my nerves. Great chemistry between these two - and fyi it seems Austria is working on a new wing device that might be able to detect turbulence in advance, and reduce it by as much as 80%. Maybe that's a hopeful new innovation.
A weather cell can be seen and the altitude of it is known. Once a pilot flys into a weather event, the scatter effect on the radar can't help them much. They fly over or around events, every pilot knows that. Turbulence is not shown on a radar, the weather event is just known about and it is understood turbulence is likely, the degree is not predictable. Always wear your seat belt loosely and it is impossible to hit your head on the bulkhead.
It was clear air turbulence (CAT) which is harder predict. Clear air turbulence is the turbulent movement of air masses without visual clues such as clouds or precipitation, and is caused by air masses meeting at extremely different speeds. It is associated with weather events or mountain waves. Nearby weather events are very difficult to use to predict this type of turbulence. The only accurate way to predict clear air turbulence is from other aircraft, either on pilot weather reports or via radio from another pilot. It is particularly bad at this time of the year in that part of the word as the flight plan took them through the intertropical convergence zone (ICZ) where the air masses Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet.
Maybe the old X or R band radars did that. Attenuation was a thing back then. But the newer radars do not have much in the way of problems with the attenuation. Why don’t we wait for the report. Also, we are getting closer to satellite weather depiction everyday. RADARS today are digital and in color. Most airlines specify the clearances for passing on all side of a cell. Singapore has some pretty sharp pilots.
Human error ie maintenance of planes pilot error is the biggest reasons why plane crashes . But turbulence is scary none the less ! I’m terrified of flying also
Good interview Piers- I love it when two intelligent people have a discourse where you respect the other, allow them to speak without interrupting, and are genuinely interested in their point of view. The authenticity of you both shone through here, showcasing yet again that long form dialogue that’s not edited down to fit a time slot, allows for the exchange of ideas and points of view where truth is the winner. Keep up the good work, I’m enjoying seeing you thrive in this environment where shock and awe isn’t what attracts eyeballs - it’s genuine and old fashioned conversation.
I have travelled on planes no less then a hundred times in all my 33 years of existence and have face countless occasions where the plane encountered turbulence from mild to severe, but prior to the turbulence, the pilot has always reminded the passengers to fasten their seat belts. But in this latest incident involving the Singapore bound jet, the pilot did NOT do the same. It is totally unbelievable to think that the pilot did not see turbulence ahead, which in my view is plain disregard for the passengers safety. What is Singapore trying to cover up? This is 150% a pilot error.
Why is it so difficult for passengers to keep their seatbelts fastened throughout the flight? I was always flummoxed hearing the "click, click" of people undoing their seatbelts upon the sign being extinguished. And now those who sustained injuries will sue the airline for something self-imposed!
Only a penny? I can listen to him talk planes for hours. He's great at simplifying the more complicated aspects to. My gran was in a 2000ft air pocket drop and said that was second to hearing the ship crack when migrating to Australia for being shaken up.
pardon my intrepid ignorance and i beg for your indulgence but....is boeing responsible for their aircraft after they're sold to airlines? i mean: don't the airlines do their own maintenance? i guess my query would be: who does the maintenance after the sale?
@@paulinewoods375 Yeah that's a normal *steady descent rate* for aircraft (2000+fpm). Eleva1on is correct. They descended to get out of the turbulence. That's been well established now. This has nothing to do with Boeing.
@@paulinewoods375well if it said it on the telly then it must be true…. It descended 6000 ft to get out of the turbulence. That’s way different than “dropping” that height.
I prefer watching the relaxed and joyful Richard Quest hosting and introducing new sights and sounds on his travel and living channel on international Cable TV. 🤔🤕🥴
You are incorrect. Boac 911. It was damaged by severe wind gusts coming off Mt Fuji because the pilots were dumb enough to fly too close to the volcano mountain to give the passengers a treat immediately after take-off. It wasn't the aircraft's failure, it was operator error.

two whistleblowers are dead, and a third said he is scared. Please do not include the Singapore flight's jump. It has nothing to do with the Boeing problem.
It is known in aviation that a turbulence could drop 6k feet in seconds. You are always advised to loosely wear a seatbelt at all times while seated. This is nothing new, it is a know factor of flying. I grew up in a commercial electrical avionics environment and knew about this 50 years ago.
Thank you Richard, always sensible. I fly this route twice a year to Bali with Qatar, never felt a bump after a sleeping tab, tons of water, buckle up and sleep all the way to Bali. 🤷🏼♀️ oh dear Richard get a bodyguard, Boeing won’t like your honesty, your life could be in danger.⛔️
Low level turbulence does crash aircraft. This was not a Boeing lack of inspection incident. Clear air turbulence is undetectable, only somewhat predictable. Congrats on the report, consistently done.
Regarding the seatbelt discussion, are you telling me people don’t actually wear their seatbelts on the plane? I thought about possibly getting thrown into the plane ceiling even as a child. Is this not common sense?
Belts are worn during take-off and landing, generally when it's at altitude and gliding belts can come off & relax. Apparently the belt sign signaled very shortly before they hit the turbulence, as he states it can't be determined how bad turbulence will be all flights get some sort (normally very mild) of turbulence in light along the way.
@@truebluedots4776 the direction is to always leave it on during the flight. You are able to get up when the seatbelt light is off but you are told to still wear it when you’re seated. This pilot was explaining it like “we act too cool for seatbelts & take it off”. But my comment was to say that I don’t know how anyone would take seatbelts that’s lightly because I have considered the chance of turbulence tossing me in the air.
@@MlleSweet74 Oh ok thanks 😊 understood makes sense. I see what you was implying now.. I'm also no flight expert my comment is just how I know and understand flying.
This has nothing to do with the builder of the airplane, and everything to do with flying through bad weather without flight attendants seated or people wearing seatbelts.
This isnt turbulence. Putting Fiona Harvey, Rabbi Shmuley, Crackhead Barney, and Kanye West in an airplane. Now that's turbulence!! Edit: James Barr too 😂 😂
I was on a night flight from Toronto to Birmingham and it hit really bad turbulence. It was petrifying 😭. It was so bad that the pilot informed us that we were going to divert. Luckily, it wasn't during mealtime. I feel sorry for the man that died. I offer my sincere condolences to his family 🫶

This was a 777 not a 737Max
@@stefansekulic7903 Point is?
@@jasonbender2459 Most of Boeing's issues are with the new 737 Max. The 777 has been around for almost 30 years and has an excellent safety record. Singapore Airlines has operated this particular plane since 2008.
I am an oil and gas worker and I am constantly travelling across 3 continents to get to my work place and airplane is the main transportation of it. Most people agree that Boeing has a lot problem and they have to make it right. But on Singapore Airlines case, I believe I have to wait for official investigation report. I feel sorry for the fatality in this turbulence case of SQ and honestly i really admired and respectfull to SQ Pilot and Crew to handle this turbulence and their ground response upon the arrivals at Bangkok.
Singapore Airlines has operated this plane since 2008 without issue so it's either just bad luck with running into clear air turbulence or some kind of crew error.
@@stefansekulic7903 I think in this case it's probably bad luck, I've flown this route many times if there's turbulence its usually over the indian ocean. I think they just got unlucky, and the quick reaction to descend is another sign that the crew didn't expect it.
Clear Air Turbulence is always going to be a problem since it is not detectable by onboard instruments until the aircraft is in that air. Since it often arises from wind flows aloft crossing there are some clues in the weather front forecasts but localised effects may be too small to appear.
I agree with Richard, always wear your seatbelt and be seated as much as possible...
A pilot.
Nothing to do with the aircraft or airline. Clear air turbulence can affect anybody. I experienced it twice in the 80s, working as a flight attendant, once on the DC10 and the 2nd time on the A310
Richard Quest is my idol. Best of the best !
The plane held up amazingly considering the level of turbulence. All aircraft can suffer from this.
Planes are built to withstand turbulence far worse than this. This was nothing
@@HiveMind-qv1iyunless it was your relative that died
I am sure that the airline would be inspecting the plane for structural damage as a matter of abundant precaution. Airplanes are built to withstand sustained airframe stress over the lifecycle whereas in this incident, the airframe would be subject to unusual stress in a short period of time. This is somewhat akin to a car being knocked about by a few big potholes while cruising on a smooth highway.
@@vintagebeliever5023 the person was a 75 year old that died from a heart attack. Heart attacks and strokes are becoming increasingly common over the last few years too. Many cases of pilots dying and becoming incapacitated too recently. I don’t think they blamed those on turbulence.
@@HiveMind-qv1iy I understand that. Just saying it was something to a family. He may not of had a heart attack if it wasn't for the scare.

Very true!
I love RICHARD QUEST ❤ Brilliant man and wonderful beautiful voice 👍
The repore between these two is awesome. Have him on more
Rapport
As someone who has worked in the airline industry, have many friends and also relatives whom also are employed within, and follow air craft disasters, there is generally never just "one" issue or failure that creates a catastrophic incident. There is a chain of events. From engineering/ maintenance to poor quality control to weather and even human error. It is still one of the safest forms of transport when you consider how many aircraft are flying world wide at the same time everyday. Always wear your seat belt while seated, no different to a car! The concern going forward is climate change and future air currents at various heights.
Whoever the hell your guest is today, I absolutely love him. I’ve been freaking terrified of flying for so long, but listening to him gave some clarity instead of the scare mong that the press give out who wanna marry him he is awesome
Excellent, Richard. Excellent. 100% on the money in every response. 777-300er training captain, cathay pacific (ret)
I really liked this guest, very charismatic.
For the sake of accuracy let’s not forget BOAC flight 911, which was destroyed by turbulence near Mount Fuji in 1966. Lee wave turbulence it may have been, but nevertheless it is not true to say airframe failures have never occurred from such effects.
So right, I jumped when I heard the statement that turbulence has never caused an aircraft break-up.
Yep, also Braniff 352 flight in Texas. They accidentally flew into a thunderstorm due to radar attenuation, such severe weather that the radar didn't display the storm's worst spot, so that's where they flew. Many years ago as well, radar wasn't so great. Very sad.
I have been on a BOAC plane that hit clear air turbulence and fell couple thousand feet in 1973. The crew were hurt but we were being served tea between Trinidad and Barbados
So, really relevant then to a situation literally 50 years later!!!
@@simon_ka Now people believe me!
Kudos to Morgan and Quest for pulling off an highly interactive session on turbulence during flight. Actually, turbulence is clearly an upper atmosphere phenomenon and the best way for highly vulnerable human beings to handle it is by wisely buckling up above 30,000 ft if they value their lives, period ! Otherwise, it could be "egg in a bottle" ala Quest and no one should be blamed. Also, nitpicking on Boeing and climate-change, without authentic evidences wouldn't be wise too ! ❤
Richard Quest is the BEST!!!!!
I do not always agree with some of your opinions, Piers but you are undeniably an endearing character and of kindred spirit.
I miss England but I return annually to send quality time with my beloved family; not to mention that I am homesick!
I will be flying with Singapore Airlines from Brisbane, Australia in July; not only will I be wearing my seatbelt at all times but I will also bring along my tin hat!
All Best.
Finally a sensible dissemination of this incident. The pilot flew through a storm in the biggest car wash in the world. Monsoon season approaches and this was the first bite. THIS WAS NOT A BOEING PROBLEM…..This was a plane flying through a storm…more pilot error than anything else. I flew through this area a few hours before …it was already developing. This was a B777…pretty much the strongest plane ever built! It will be back flying within a week or so, and that’s after they tidy up the inside.
A huge thank you to Mr. Quest for reassuring me. As a person who is afraid of flying I was relieved to hear what he had to say about the sturdiness and integrity of the modern airplane's design. Yes mistakes and incidents will always happen, but if destined, I would rather face turbulence in a well-built and well-tested plane.
This guest is so good and accurate he has to be a fellow aspie! :)
Glad to see they've dialled down the drama of this incident. Turbulence happens, just be aware and prepared. Lightly fasten your seat belt and please don't scream. That's more scary than the turbulence.
I know a little bit about vertical descent. I landed in a storm and the aircraft did a near vertical descent, at really high speed. People were screaming with fear and with the excruciating pain in their ears. My son was crying with the pain in his ears and I understand why. The pain in my ears was horrific, I thought my eardrums were literally going to blow out of my head. It's the only way i can describe it, apart from saying times it by two and you might be near how it felt. Yes we landed ok, although my friend who saw our plane coming in thought for a second that we were stuffed. Put me off flying in package jets for ever, and i've laughed with a plane full of guy's as we hit turbulence and bounced up and down like a ball in a Hercules flying into Holland for a Market Garden Remembrance Day😇
Really? I am an airline pilot with over 30 years in the cockpit. I fly widebody jets, A330. So much of what you are saying here is false. If you experienced that kind of ear pain then you were in a unpressurized airplane and or had a head cold with blocked Eustachian tubes. which help to equalize pressure, and/or most likely not in a pressurized jet. That low to the ground the cabin pressurization, where you were seated, would have been at ground level. I have no idea what a “package jet” even is and I’ve been doing this for over 40 years total. Explain please. By the way, all airplanes do a “vertical descent” that’s how we land, by coming down. I’m not saying that what you experienced didn’t happen. I’m saying the way you describe it didn’t happen. I have literally thousands of takeoffs and landings at this point in my life. Never experienced anything like what you say. Never. Lastly - one event does not make you an expert in “vertical descents” it makes you a passenger. The guys at the front of the house are the experts.
@@Steve757-fl1hd Bullcrap it didn't happen is exactly what you're saying. Not understanding what I mean by package jet show's how picky your comment is. It happened exactly the way I described it. You're just a troll, I reckon the only planes you've flown were made from balsa wood 😇
@@Steve757-fl1hd btw unlike you, I never claimed to be an expert in vertical descent. However I do know that gradual descent is the normal way a plane approaches an airstip to land, and that a vertical, speedy, descent is not normal at all.
@@Angel-Adramelech most airports, we don’t call them landing strips and haven’t for decades, require steep approaches. It’s a part of what is known as “noise abatement arrivals.” Have to keep the locals happy and content. We also call an approach like that a “slam dunk.” Well, I’ve been slam dunked plenty of times. Airports were initially built out in the boonies. Over time the city built up around the airports and what was once way out and now surrounded by people who insist on living there even though they hate airplanes and airports. Go figure.
Take some time and learn our airplane talk.
PS.. we also do noise abatements departures. These are done at a steep angles and at reduced thrust. The reduced thrust is done immediately after takeoff. It’s like driving your car up a steep hill at 20 mph. Not always pleasant.
@@Angel-Adramelech my - a little pissy are we today? I doubt it and still do. Package jet is a term you made up. Never heard it. Nope. DC9s, 727s, A320, A330, 757 and L188. You my friend, are talking to the real deal. 32 years and mostly in the left seat. Those years equate to close to 30,000 accident free hours. Not a troll at all - dislike people that make up stuff about flying.
Richard Quest not allowing himself to turn something into a bigger issue than what it is. Nice to hear someone who is totally balanced and subjective, there aren't enough of those type of people about
Singapore Airlines has such a long and excellent record. This inquiry should be interesting and it won’t be political to Boeing.
There were problems on the Singapore Airlines 777 which hit turbulence.
Onboard weather radar showed two storm cells ahead, but the radar could not
detect the third cell, hiding behind the first two. That third cell was the culprit.
Question: Why didn't the Captain or F.O. ask the cabin staff to see to it that passengers buckled up? Why wasn't an announcement made? Why was a meal service carried on, even though turbulence was ahead? This error in judgment led to the number of injuries sustained by passengers. There was no structural problem with the 777, which is
a robust, reliable, and generally trouble free aircraft, well liked by flight crews, who say it is a dream to fly. Piers Morgan seems unable to distinguish between a 737 Max, and a 777 or a 747. You can't tar all Boeing aircraft with the same brush, but that's how Morgan gets
viewers, by being alarmist when there is no cause for alarm.
What are these “problems” with the 777 that you mention? I doubt he flew into a cell. He might have, but I have my doubts. I’m sure if they knew there was CAT ahead they notified the FAs and told them to secure the cabin, put the carts away and ask the passengers to buckle. But, you know that’s the problem with CAT - you just never know. Do you? We’ll have to wait to see the report as to what happened. If you have something in your vast years of experience why don’t you call the investigating agencies and tell them you know there was “something wrong with the 777. “ I’m sure they’d be interested to hear what you know. AS far as the media goes, I’m sure you know less than they do.
I knew nothing about plane but he explain it very well. And I'm not flying anymore 😂😂😂
Me neither I’ve just bought a cottage in Somerset
The enthusiasm and humor of this guy is class. Interesting watch!
Love Richard Quest!!!!!!
If every airline flight could be as smooth sailing as this interview, I wouldn't need a drink or a pill to ease my nerves. Great chemistry between these two - and fyi it seems Austria is working on a new wing device that might be able to detect turbulence in advance, and reduce it by as much as 80%. Maybe that's a hopeful new innovation.
Quest if great. Been covering disasters since 800 and 007. Wish we had him.
A weather cell can be seen and the altitude of it is known. Once a pilot flys into a weather event, the scatter effect on the radar can't help them much. They fly over or around events, every pilot knows that. Turbulence is not shown on a radar, the weather event is just known about and it is understood turbulence is likely, the degree is not predictable. Always wear your seat belt loosely and it is impossible to hit your head on the bulkhead.
It was clear air turbulence (CAT) which is harder predict. Clear air turbulence is the turbulent movement of air masses without visual clues such as clouds or precipitation, and is caused by air masses meeting at extremely different speeds. It is associated with weather events or mountain waves. Nearby weather events are very difficult to use to predict this type of turbulence. The only accurate way to predict clear air turbulence is from other aircraft, either on pilot weather reports or via radio from another pilot. It is particularly bad at this time of the year in that part of the word as the flight plan took them through the intertropical convergence zone (ICZ) where the air masses Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet.
Maybe the old X or R band radars did that. Attenuation was a thing back then. But the newer radars do not have much in the way of problems with the attenuation. Why don’t we wait for the report. Also, we are getting closer to satellite weather depiction everyday. RADARS today are digital and in color. Most airlines specify the clearances for passing on all side of a cell. Singapore has some pretty sharp pilots.
Really enjoyed this expert guest! Also he very entertaining !! Have him back please!
Human error ie maintenance of planes pilot error is the biggest reasons why plane crashes . But turbulence is scary none the less ! I’m terrified of flying also
Yes about 90% of crashes are caused by some kind of human error.
They are caused by an alignment of errors. One after the other usually.
@@stefansekulic7903yes ! Facts ! Turbulence could also lead to a crash

*GREAT INTERVIEW!!*
Richard Quest is cool - aviation expert - and talks sense.
He is very very good. I would love an hour or two to ask about so many things
I have travelled on planes no less then a hundred times in all my 33 years of existence and have face countless occasions where the plane encountered turbulence from mild to severe, but prior to the turbulence, the pilot has always reminded the passengers to fasten their seat belts.
But in this latest incident involving the Singapore bound jet, the pilot did NOT do the same. It is totally unbelievable to think that the pilot did not see turbulence ahead, which in my view is plain disregard for the passengers safety. What is Singapore trying to cover up? This is 150% a pilot error.
You clearly have no idea about clear air turbulence. Go google it then come back here and apologise to the pilot.
So after flying for ‘no less than a hundred times in 33 years’, you still need a pilot to tell you about seatbelts? 😅😅😅
Fantastic Interview
Richard Quest so fascinating!!
Why is it so difficult for passengers to keep their seatbelts fastened throughout the flight? I was always flummoxed hearing the "click, click" of people undoing their seatbelts upon the sign being extinguished. And now those who sustained injuries will sue the airline for something self-imposed!
Only a penny? I can listen to him talk planes for hours. He's great at simplifying the more complicated aspects to.
My gran was in a 2000ft air pocket drop and said that was second to hearing the ship crack when migrating to Australia for being shaken up.
Richard Quest, thats a name I haven't heard in a long time, this was a pleasant surprise.
pardon my intrepid ignorance and i beg for your indulgence but....is boeing responsible for their aircraft after they're sold to airlines? i mean: don't the airlines do their own maintenance? i guess my query would be: who does the maintenance after the sale?
The plane didnt "PLUNGE 6000 feet". They descended the aircraft 6000 feet AFTER they encountered severe turbulence. What nonsense this is...
On the tv news last night , it was reported that it dropped 6000 feet in 3 minutes

A 707 was torn apart by turbulence in the 60s. Everyone died. Some small crafts have also crashed from turbulence.
BOAC flight 911. The severe turbulence actually bent the vertical stabilisers, and other control surfaces.
You are incorrect. Boac 911. It was damaged by severe wind gusts coming off Mt Fuji because the pilots were dumb enough to fly too close to the volcano mountain to give the passengers a treat immediately after take-off.

Low level turbulence does crash aircraft. This was not a Boeing lack of inspection incident. Clear air turbulence is undetectable, only somewhat predictable. Congrats on the report, consistently done.
Regarding the seatbelt discussion, are you telling me people don’t actually wear their seatbelts on the plane? I thought about possibly getting thrown into the plane ceiling even as a child. Is this not common sense?
I reckon some people....including me take it off was the light goes off..but it seems rather than take if of..keep it on and loose..
Belts are worn during take-off and landing, generally when it's at altitude and gliding belts can come off & relax. Apparently the belt sign signaled very shortly before they hit the turbulence, as he states it can't be determined how bad turbulence will be all flights get some sort (normally very mild) of turbulence in light along the way.
@@truebluedots4776 the direction is to always leave it on during the flight. You are able to get up when the seatbelt light is off but you are told to still wear it when you’re seated.

But my comment was to say that I don’t know how anyone would take seatbelts that’s lightly because I have considered the chance of turbulence tossing me in the air.
