The report shows that the real risk is for the cabincrew. A few seconds later, at 07:49 UTC, “all hell broke loose” as passenger Andrew Davies said to CNN. The aircraft diverted to Bangkok, where it landed safely at 08:45 UTC (15:45 local time). Anyway, the seat belt light appeared.
On board were two flight crew, five cabincrew and 106 passengers. VASAviation has published the interactions between the flight crew and the controller from LiveATC.net in case you want to follow along. The aircraft was a twenty-four year old Airbus A320-214 registered in Switzerland as HB-IHY. Back to the incident.
While data was not received for the entire flight, the ADS-B data available from 05:13 UTC demonstrates variable altitude (feet AMSL) reports of 8,000 feet dozens of times and oscillating ground speed (Knots) and vertical rate (feet per minute) values. Thirty-eight people died in the crash, including both pilots and one cabincrew member.
The collision took place at 20:48 local time (01:48 UTC) and has been reported at less than 200 feet altitude. The maximum allowed altitude for the route that the helicopter was travelling, transiting from route 1 to route 4, was 200 feet above ground level. Over three hundred responders were deployed, fighting against the icy conditions.
