Three weeks after a Singapore Airlines plane plunged 54 meters in just five seconds in a bout of extreme turbulence, the airline will pay monetary compensation to those injured during the deadly flight.
In a Facebook post, the airline apologized for a "traumatic experience" during the SQ321 flight on May 20, where one passenger died. It announced that passengers who sustained minor injuries will get $10,000, while those with more serious injuries will get an advance payment of $25,000 (with the possibility of getting more money). Singapore Airlines noted that passengers with serious injuries can discuss a compensation offer that suits their "specific circumstances" once they recover.
