I too saw the awful photograph in The Singapore Straits Times of this poor man following the diversion to Istanbul. I was flying at the time in the very region that this tragedy occured. I must admit I welled up with emotion on seeing the image and taking in what I was seeing! Then I felt revulsion that someone had made the decision to put this on the first page to sell more newspapers. Respect for human life is not as high a priority there in Singapore it would seem.
I wonder whether the Singaporean people taking in the picture, and the associated report in The Straits Times realise that their national airline give very little training in simulated incapacitation. Almost nothing, and in my opinion and experience the airline's simulator training is generally lacking in imagination.
I vaguely knew this man (in the RAF) and my thoughts are with his family and friends and colleagues, you must be devastated. I hope you don't ever have to see that image.
