Singapore Airlines has announced it will no longer suspend cabin service when the seat belt sign is illuminated. This follows an incident on Singapore Airlines flight 321 from London to Singapore, which diverted to Bangkok due to severe turbulence resulting in one passenger's death and several injuries. Social media reports described the aftermath as having "blood everywhere" and a "destroyed cabin."
