Australian couple seek medevac flight home from Bangkok
The husband of an Adelaide woman seriously injured on Singapore airlines flight SQ 321 this week says the carrier is now getting behind efforts to fly her home. Overnight, hospital staff in Bangkok tried to stop Keith Davis criticising Singapore airlines whisking him away from the media when he complained the airline's representatives hadn't visited them. His wife Kerry Jordan needed emergency surgery after being flung around in the cabin. She is one of at least nine Australians still in hospital being treated for spinal and brain injuries. Around 60 of the 229 people on board are still receiving treatment in Bangkok.
