A widow is taking legal action against an airline following the tragic death of her husband, Geoff Kitchen, who suffered fatal injuries during a flight. The incident occurred while Linda and Geoff were on the cusp of beginning their six-week holiday in Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia. They were about 10 hours into their journey when the turbulence struck, and things took a disastrous turn.
Linda recounted the horrifying moment when she was separated from Geoff during the turbulence. “I knew he was in a bad way, but nothing prepared me for hearing he had died. It was absolutely devastating,” she expressed. The couple had already experienced some turbulence over Europe, and although it had been shaky over the water, the main turbulence hit unexpectedly, leading to chaos onboard.
Linda described how Geoff’s phone fell to the floor during the violent shaking, and she thought the plane was going down. “I spent 10 days in hospital before I was airlifted back to Bristol. I was in so much pain that the journey was a blur,” she stated. The ordeal didn’t end there; once back in the UK, she remained hospitalized for another week and needed significant support at home.
The tragic incident vividly highlights the severity of what occurred, with Geoff fatally injured and Linda suffering severe injuries. More than two years have passed since Geoff’s untimely death, yet Linda is still seeking answers. “All I want is for the most thorough investigations to be conducted,” she said, emphasizing the need for accountability.
The initiation of High Court proceedings marks a significant step towards providing answers to Geoff’s loved ones, as they deserve to understand what really happened that fateful day. As the legal battle unfolds, the question remains: what led to such a catastrophic event in the skies?
