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.
