Wife of man who died after turbulence sues Singapore Airlines
Kitchen and her husband, described as her “soul mate”, were starting a six-week holiday to Singapore, Indonesia and Australia when the incident happened in May 2024.
The turbulence hit over Myanmar, with the flight then diverted to Bangkok, in Thailand, for an emergency landing.
“There had been some turbulence over Europe, and it had been shaky over the water, but it was around 10 hours into the flight when we encountered the main turbulence,” Kitchen said.
“It was so severe; it felt like the aircraft was dropping. I noticed my Kindle and Geoff’s phone had fallen to the floor, and I thought the plane was going down.”
As the aircraft plummeted, Kitchen said her husband fell on top of her, squashing her into the armrest. Eventually, others helped to move him and a doctor on board began CPR.
Kitchen was taken to hospital while her husband was still on the plane. It was two days before she was told he had died.
It is understood that Geoff suffered a heart attack after the plane suddenly dropped at high altitude.

That has been producing copper cathode since 2012, has a life out to — or license at least out to 2034. And the Sasa lead-zinc mine in North Macedonia, again, 100% owned since 2017 with a reserve life out to 2034.
The Kazakhstan exploration companies, CAML X and CAML XD, again, are conducting exploration for base metals prospects in Kazakhstan. And we have a minority stake in a company called Aberdeen Minerals, which is exploring for copper-nickel mineralization around Arthrath in Scotland.
So moving on to the results themselves. Today, we announced a, at 7:00 this morning, really excellent set of results for us, which really reflects a strong operational performance in an environment of good commodity prices. And that has resulted in a revenue figure of $145.5 million, EBITDA of $75.5 million, an EBITDA margin of 52% and free cash flow of $46.8 million. All of these metrics are significantly up on the similar period last year. The cash flow number I mentioned of just shy

The best opportunities for profits on individual stocks come from stocks that are less-widely followed by the average investor or from stocks that may not accurately reflect the opportunities that currently exist in their markets.

Concerns about the profitability of artificial-intelligence ventures, convoluted debt deals underpinning data centers, and the future of chip demand had left some on Wall Street worried that the AI trade was petering out. Then Nvidia NVDA -4.57%decrease; down pointing triangle arrived with a nearly half-trillion-dollar shot in the arm.
The chip maker’s otherworldly growth has become so ingrained in Wall Street’s psyche that many investors expect the company to beat expectations, leaving shares sliding in six of the past eight post-earnings trading sessions. A big chunk of options traders this week were betting that the stock would fall after Wednesday’s quarterly report.
