A 73-year-old British man died and over 100 passengers were injured during a severe turbulence incident on a Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore. The Montreal Convention allows injured passengers to seek compensation up to $170,000, but claims could reach higher amounts depending on the investigation's outcome. Singapore Airlines has since changed its policy to not serve meals when the seatbelt light is on.
