No mention that it’s the second time in a bit more than a month? In mid May a Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore a Boeing 777, 300ER I think hit severe turbulence causing it to drop at ~ -1.57 g’s, then rise again in less than a second, slamming people into the ceiling. 71 were injured, 18 hospitalized, and a 73 year old British man died of a heart attack.

You can’t really blame the plane for it though. There is no technology to detect clear air turbulence and all the plane is supposed to do is to not physically break apart, which if did.
Mentour Now released a pretty good video on that incident yesterday
