1:09 am
severe and extreme high floats are severe turbulence which morning? nothing bad happened at all. i warned my crew this same poor plane flew through what my estimations extreme turbulence. that's where people get hurt if they don't have their belts fast and, and it could be aircraft damage, not likely, but possibly. and is it predictable? yes, it is predictable to an extra, to an extent. this was not, in my opinion. unclear, are trivial. it's which is what a likely be dish reporting. they were flying through what's called the infra truck, well, couldn't conversion, and so on. and we have that in the south america and near us in this long, the equator. well, that goes all the way around the world and when flows different directions creates bad thunderstorms. the good news is with weather radar. i flew this airplane, this triple 7300 marvelous airplane rate. rather,
1:10 am
wait or slide 20 nautical miles or more away from the center stars, and you have minimal to know turbulence. so the question will be, is how close is crew flew towards uh, to the thunderstorms out there where the extra experience extreme turbulence. right? you mentioned the plane itself, so what can we attribute this to is external factors with the atmosphere in the environment? the or is it the plane itself or could it be pilot action? what, what would you say causes the most impact? are there in this particular charge? so nothing to do with the airplane. nothing to do with boeing whatsoever. it is uh, having the rather weather radio rate or tune up and focused on the flat bath in front of them. and as soon as you see the weather, you move around it. this is nothing to do with climate change. i flew down south america in the eighty's and ninety's and experience this ro,
1:11 am
thunderstorms along the equator, and it goes all the way around the world. just simply fly away from them. you can always fly around thunderstorms, and there are some of the approved for our renters. insurance plan, the airplane, get fuel and continue on. you said something about people wearing the seat belts, is it just as simple as that to prevent injuries and they tell it is like what we've seen and this incident is nothing more complicated than that. when a flight attendants make their public analysis, when the captain makes the public announcement or the 1st officer, keep the seat belt fast and even if it's perfectly smooth, if you go the restroom, come back to the seat and put your belt back on, make it snug not uncomfortable, and you'll be safe. and when such an incident happens, and then you have a, an emergency landing like with this plane, what is the immediate priorities for the flight crew and full of the technical stuff they need a priority is, is, is what it is all the time, the safety,
1:12 am
safety they made the correct decision to line the airplane in the night in bangkok of course, and then they declared a medical emergency so that the medical crew will come to the aircraft and take the injured passers off the airplane. that's the 1st consideration of course safety a flight of the airplane in the airplane flu, just fine is a wonderful aircraft. okay. vision expert, richard levy, we appreciate your insights. thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you. tom is best for you to venice turn to some of the global news headlines. german. right to jenny. happen back and translate to michelle hoffman. you have won the international book apprised. lenovo kyra's follows the destructive love effect between a 19 year old student and an older married man in east bed and in the 1980s. the book comprises, celebrate the world's best fiction,
