Elmina disaster: Plane veered off path minutes before crash
The light aircraft that crashed in Elmina, Shah Alam, Selangor this afternoon veered off from its original path prior to its fall, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said the sudden diversion happened three minutes after the plane received clearance from the Subang Airport air traffic control tower at 2.48pm.
“According to the (air traffic control) tower, they noticed that the plane had veered off slightly to the side of its original path.
“After giving clearance for the plane to land, the controllers spotted smoke from the tower, coming from the crash site,” Loke told reporters during a press conference at the Subang Airport today.
