On Thursday (17 August), an aircraft carrying six passengers and two flight crew crashed near Elmina in Shah Alam.
A video circulating on Twitter depicted the aftermath of the tragedy, with wreckage strewn over the road and plumes of black smoke rising from the ground.
According to authorities, a Pahang state executive was among the passengers on board the ill-fated plane that crashed on a road in Elmina, Shah Alam.
Johari Harun, a Pelangai assemblyman, was one of eight people on board the privately owned plane when it crashed into a road, killing two motorists on the ground.
Two flight crew members, Shahrul Kamal Roslan and Heikal Aras Abdul Azim, as well as Khairil Azwan Jamaludin, Shaharul Amir Omar, Mohamad Naim Fawwaz Mohamed Muaidi, Mohammad Taufiq Mohd Zaki, and Idris Abdol Talib @ Ramali, were also killed.
According to Malaysia Now, they were all returning from a meeting in Langkawi when their plane crashed at about 2.50 pm.
The crash occurred on a road to Elmina in Section U16, Shah Alam, about 5 kilometers from Subang Airport.
The final moment of flight N28JV shows that the aircraft had a catastrophic loss of flight controls, which could have been caused by engine flameout, overloading, or a mechanical fault.
Malaysian University Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology associate professor and head of the aviation search and rescue department Major Dr Mohd Harridon Mohamed Suffian stated that engine failure would cause the plane to lose thrust, resulting in a decrease in forward force and lift.
With one engine blazing out while the other was working properly, the aircraft would position itself in a rotating fashion along a defined axis, leading to the downward spin, he stated.
According to Mohd Harridon to Malay Mail, engine flame-outs might occur as a result of fuel exhaustion, a bird strike, or being hit by a foreign object.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke stated that around 10.20 p.m., the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) discovered the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder (CVR).
According to Malay Mail, Anthony Loke revealed that the AAIB team had taken the black box to be analyzed at the laboratory.
"The black box is made up of two parts: the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and the CVR." "The FDR has yet to be discovered," he said.
