According to Emirates247.com, the Thai Airways flight from Jakarta, Indonesia, to Bangkok, Thailand, was caught in turbulence above Singapore, leaving the 72 passengers and 12 crew members aboard the Boeing 777 terrified and six injured.
Images from within the plane show items thrown all over the cabin and a massive amount of blood on one of the passenger's seat from an injury. On Twitter, Yahoo News 7 Australia shared the images.

The blood reportedly came from an injured passenger who banged his head on the ceiling of the plane after he was thrown into the air during the turbulence. The man was not wearing his seatbelt at the time.
