‘Sheer terror' Aboard Singapore Airlines

Passengers describe turbulence-hit plane that plummeted, putting 20 in ICU

Passengers on the Singapore Airlines flight that plummeted after hitting severe turbulence described the "sheer terror" of the aircraft shuddering, loose items flying and people wrenched so badly that 20 remained Wednesday in intensive care units (ICU).

"I arrived back in the airport and I couldn't stop vomiting. I couldn't walk; it was pretty bad," said Josh Silverstone, 24, who was discharged from a hospital with a cut in his eye and a chipped tooth. He said it could have been "way worse."

The British man said he was so scared that he bought in-flight internet access to message his mother: "I wasn't trying to scare her, but I said 'I love you.'"
