Six people on the Singapore Airlines flight are still in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

More than 20 people who were on a Singapore Airlines flight hit by severe turbulence are in intensive care with spinal injuries, the head of a Bangkok hospital has said.

A two-year-old child is among those in hospital in the Thai capital, where the flight from London made an emergency landing on Tuesday.

Overall, 46 passengers and two crew members were still receiving treatment in Bangkok, the airline said.

Passengers on the airliner have told the BBC they felt the plane drop suddenly, and that others not wearing their seatbelts “launched immediately into the ceiling”.

    If you aren’t moving to the bathroom, getting luggage, or doing something else that requires you to move and leave your seat: wear your seatbelt. This is why they say to keep it buckled. Unexpected turbulence of this magnitude is rare but can still happen and injure or kill people. It’s also why you have to put non-handheld items away on landing: turbulence or a strong bump can send laptops and such flying into people.
