Quite a sensational story, and what a stupid interview. "Let's interview a scared passenger who has no f-cking clue about what was going on".A passenger travelling on the a Singapore Airlines flight, which was forced to make an emergency landing, has told the BBC that the plane "just fell from the sky".
"I literally thought we were all going to die. There was no warning, the plane just went into a deep descent, the masks dropped and you automatically thought we were going to crash."
The Airbus A380 was forced to land in Azerbaijan due to loss of cabin pressure.
The airline said that oxygen masks were deployed and the aircraft landed "uneventfully" at the Baku airport.
Your plane made an emergency landing in a former Soviet third world sh!thole. Sorry they couldn't chose a location with an integrated resort to keep you busy.Passenger Terri Mann, said that she had to sleep on a "cold steel bench" with her 17-month old child, and that there were no "food places" at the airport.
"We are all a little hesitant about getting on our next legs of our journeys, just hope the worst is over," she wrote.
Another passenger Mark Franklin wrote that the handling of the incident was "terrible".

Or the cynic in me says this kind of sensationalist reaction will be good for compensation form SQ laterzzm9980 wrote:This is hillarious. F-cking whiners:

The story linked didn't say anything about 20 minutes from Heathrow. If that actually happened, then you're right. I'm curious of your source on that and how credible they are.ScoobyDoes wrote:zzm9980 wrote:This is hillarious. F-cking whiners:

Considering the seal first blew after just 20min from Heathrow, the plane should never have got that far so yes, I think whining is genuine in this case. The flight should have returned to Heathrow or landed in Frankfurt, both suitable destinations for a SQ A380 not, as you say, leaving the problem to fester until flying over a, yes, third world Soviet era sand trap.
I can link to even the SG Press.........zzm9980 wrote:The story linked didn't say anything about 20 minutes from Heathrow. If that actually happened, then you're right. I'm curious of your source on that and how credible they are.ScoobyDoes wrote:zzm9980 wrote:This is hillarious. F-cking whiners:

What is described on BBC (rapid 2 minute decent from 38k feet to normal atmosphere along with the air masks dropping) sounds like sudden decompression. I highly doubt SQ or any competent airline (basically anyone that isn't Tiger) would continue to fly if they suspected there was a reasonable chance of cabin pressure compromise when in the air.
