This aircraft (A380) made a ferry flight to bangkok for checking the damage and repairs it.
I think some of NRT/FRA/CDG filghts may have effect aka aircraft change from this incident.
P.S. The number of injurers was changed to 30 passengers and 15 crew (from a total of 24 crew onboard)
Below are news links in English.

This type of severe turbulence happens. It's rare but it happens. I think a UA FA was killed about 15 years ago in severe turbulence. Hope nobody was badly hurt in this incident.
Good idea to keep seat belt on at all time even if the light is off.

I think a lot of people got hurt because when they landed they didn't land in their seat. So if they hit anything hard then it would be really painful (that's why a lot of the fa's standing got injured). I'm pretty sure I bonked my head against the overhead bin but I think I am okay atm so it wasn't too bad. I think the other injuries came from falling objects such as galley carts, etc.
