Sounds like some people (7 pax and 3 cabin crew) got badly hurt the day before yesterday on KG on the way to Manila.
It seems that after several WX deviation along the way from India to Vietnam they were in some way "short of fuel" due to the new fuel policy using reduced contingency fuel. They were near the decision point, likely at the minimum required fuel to continue to MNL and consequently "narrowing" the weather deviation to avoid a diversion after a long night flight from BAH, delaying the flight for another three hours, going in to discretion and all the things we know about a diversion.
Could be also just a mismanagement of WX radar and lack of communication among the crew in order to prepare the cabin for turbulence...
Regrettable indeed
