According to transport minister Anthony Loke, the aircraft that crashed near the Elmina township veered off to the right of the flight path just before the tragedy but the pilot did not issue a mayday call, reports The Star.
Loke added that the private jet’s first contact with the air traffic control (ATC) tower of the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang came at 2.47pm and was granted landing clearance at 2.48pm. At 2.51pm, personnel at the ATC tower saw a large column of smoke from the crash site around six km away. CCTV footage showed the plane just dropped from the sky and crashed.
“Efforts are now underway to recover the black box from the ill-fated plane. The Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has been activated and deployed to the accident site to recover the black box. All safety protocols were activated after the crash,” Loke told a press conference at the Subang Airport yesterday.
The crash claimed the lives of six plane passengers, including Pelangai assemblyman Datuk Seri Johari Harun, Kharil Azwan Jamaludin, Shaharul Amir Omar, Mohamad Naim Fawwaz Mohamed Muaidi, Muhammad Taufiq Mohd Zaki and Idris Abdol Talib @ Ramali. Two crew members also perished in the crash, including pilots Shahrul Kamal Roslan and Heikal Aras Abdul Azim, along with two road users.
Loke said the police have confirmed there were no survivors from the crash and the identities of the victims who were in the plane have been confirmed through a forensic process after their remains were brought to the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang. The identities of the two road users who were killed would be confirmed by the police later. Loke advised people not to speculate as investigations are ongoing.

One of the earliest lessons in flight training is the aviation priority order of operations: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.
I guess the pilot was busy aviating & navigating due to the emergency. Never got the chance to communicate.
Alfatihah to him & the rest of the victims.
I believe he was steering clear away from the buildings and attempted an emergency landing on that stretch of road although there was a very very slim chance of doing so.
jet engine failure while descending plus not enough altitude to steer therefore plane nose dive steeply.
Well, if you want to rule out the possibility that the pilot & his co-pilot had banked the aircraft to the right (as was seen by witnesses & in the video footage) before the crash in order to avoid populated areas like Kg Melayu Subang.
telltale sign of aircraft stalled thus veered off-sided nose-dive. Needs miracle for pilot to recover stalled aircraft with lack of altitude. Stalled aircraft plausibly hit wake turbulence while descending
Wake turbulence appears behind an aircraft in flight, So far, there has been no reports of another aircraft flying not too far ahead of N28JV’s flight path.
The mention of miracle reminds me of the US Airways Flight 1549 incident.
Even in a nose dive, would there still be sufficient air flow around the control surfaces?
More possibilities & plausibilities.
So, let’s just wait for the investigation report from the authorities.
True that.. i just had the same thots too. Alfatihah to the 10.
let’s take a moment of silence to remember the victims that have lost their lives.
Salam takziah to the people who lost their lives. Is a reminder to us all that accidents can happen on the ground, but on air as well. Lets hope for the best to their families. Al-fatihah
It’ll probably take 2 days if lucky for my comments in PT to get uploaded, when it does I just want to send my condolonces to all victims. RIP
