Elmina plane crash: Ex-RMAF man says aircraft was flying erratically

SHAH ALAM: An eyewitness who saw the aircraft crash tragedy in Seksyen U16 in Elmina here today said the plane was flying erratically before it hit the ground.

Mohd Syahmie Md Hashim, who was formerly with the Royal Malaysian Air Force, said he was on his way to Paya Jaras to deliver goods when he spotted the plane.

"It appeared to be flying erratically. Not long after that, I heard a loud boom," he said.

Syahmie, 31, said he thought the flames came from a burning factory.

"I sped towards the location and saw the remains of an aircraft.

"I also saw human remains on fire. I couldn't do anything," he told Harian Metro.

He said he asked other witnesses in the area, who told him that the aircraft had dipped and also crashed into a motorcycle.
