That's a big dent ...what else was on the grass ?

Yikes !!! yeah heard this on the news, wonder if there's any video footage about?

EDIT: video here of the captain announcement, mentioned an engine "spooled up" after landing, which caused them to veer off the runway???

Maybe a taxiway marker board installation?

So not a hydraulic steering issue then.

I see Stuff conflates this with the RTB of a Jetstar Dunedin flight, due to turbulence..
I guess it's that time of year.

On which topic: On Monday 20 May we were aboard SQ321 out of London for Singapore, bit of a bumpy ride.
I believe the next flight cycle of that B777 was this one.
Dodged a bullet, there.

Glad you did.

Years ago, a friend copped one of those monster tea trolleys on the kneecap in turbulence, which convinced me that seatbelts are not optional.
Incredible that many seated passengers still do not buckle up 100% of the time, especially in the tropics.

Is it Airbus and how did it happen?

I've started to get angry at people who get up, stand in the isle next to me while I'm seated waiting for the bog... while the seatbelt light is on. Flight attendants do nothing about it either up here. I flew the day after the Singapore airlines incident and people were still totally clueless. I refuse to get out of the way if the person next to me wants to get out now if the seatbelt light is on.
