Singapore Airlines flight entered a dangerous zone dreaded by most pilots, report says..
A former pilot suggested that the Singapore Airlines flight, which faced severe turbulence and led to a passenger's death, might have flown into the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ICZ). According to NASA Earth Observatory, this zone is near the equator where winds from the north and south meet.
The intense heat and warm waters here create high humidity. When the winds come together, the moist air rises, cools, and forms thunderstorms, making the area prone to constant storms.

We are not number 1. Lessen the blame
Shortcut easy route save fuel

Bottom line is, it's still pap's fault. 😁
I don't think pilots will anyhow change course, they take the plane to height and set the coordinates on auto pilot. There is no reason for any misadventures uncalled for...

Only a pilot can fly a plane lah!

I cannot lah!
Most of the time, I took to the planes, they were like car crashes.

After Covid19 pandemic, SIA keeps on adding and doubling flights Singapore/London/Singapore could be the cause of increasing such problems..
SIA has gone on a break neck expansion like never before.
Unprecedented, Singapore leaders helping SIA with Taylor Swift sole performance in Singapore.

Question
Why only SIA flight (10 hours after leaving London) while no others experienced such extreme turbulence along same spot on flight route?
Only SIA?
why din the pilot tell thje passenger to 'buckle up' when entering the zone?

there was a 'boeing' malfunction....the pilot later said the plane suddenly stopp working and shut off
and went back on again..
