A video has been making its way around online on Apr. 12, purportedly showing a fallen Singapore Airlines cabin crew lying in the aisle of a flight travelling between Sydney and Singapore.
The video
The video was captioned "SIA Stewardess Passing Out inflight from Sydney to Singapore. Pray she will be well", followed by the praying emoji.
The video is taken from about five rows ahead of the incident, showing what appears to be a passenger standing over the prone body of a person.
The person was lying in the aisle and their head is being supported by a pillow.
In the background, two SIA Stewardesses approach from the back of the plane, before talking to the standing passenger. One wearing the famous blue kebaya of SIA stewardesses, and the other wearing the green kebaya of a leading stewardess.
The audio taken doesn't reveal what is being said, but several other passengers can be seen turning back to either observe or speak to the those in the aisle.
The caption implies that the person laying in the aisle was a stewardess too, but an SIA spokesperson informed Mothership that this was not the case.
What happened
SIA confirmed that during a flight on Apr. 11, on flight SQ232 from Sydney to Singapore, a passenger began to feel unwell and was provided with medical assistance while on board.
The passenger could have been the person who can be seen lying on the ground in the video.
SIA stated that two cabin crew did fall as a result of the incident. However, the SIA spokesperson said that neither of the affected cabin crew were injured in the fall, and were able to continue with their duties for the remainder of the flight.
The flight between Sydney and Singapore is typically eight hours long, and SIA did not indicate how far into the journey the flight was when the incident took place.
SIA also said that the passenger had been assessed to be fit enough to continue the journey to Singapore, although they were advised to seek medical attention upon arrival in Singapore.
