KUALA LUMPUR: The initial findings of the investigation into the plane crash in Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam, Selangor indicate that the accident was unsurvivable due to the intense deceleration force and subsequent fire after the crash. The Aircraft Accident Preliminary Report by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), under the Transport Ministry (MOT), states that based on visual and field analysis, the plane’s right wing tip hit the ground first, followed by the nose with intense energy.

The initial report, consisting of 60 pages, explains that the short duration acceleration (0.1-0.5 seconds) observed in high-energy collisions resulted in fatal injuries to all occupants of the aircraft. The report, released on the MOT website on Friday (Sept 15), emphasized that the impact forces, collision pattern, and magnitude of the crash exceeded human tolerance, making it impossible for anyone on board to survive.
The incident took place on August 17, when a private aircraft, a Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1), registered under the number N28JV, crashed in front of the Elmina township in Shah Alam. The accident claimed the lives of eight individuals, including six passengers, two flight crew members, an e-hailing driver, and a p-hailing motorcyclist. – Bernama
