TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. A Singapore Airlines plane with 211 passengers and 18 crew members was hit by severe turbulence and diverted to Thailand. A 73-year-old British man died of a suspected heart attack. Forty-eight people remained hospitalized Friday. Singapore’s Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said investigators have obtained data from the cockpit and flight data recorders.

VERBATIM: The moves are part of tighter cabin measures after one person died and dozens were injured on a flight from London this week. The airline says meal service will also now be suspended, in addition to hot beverages, when the seat belt sign is on. It said crew members must also return to their seats and buckle up.
