Elmina plane crash: MoT asking public for dashcam footage, images, eyewitnesses to assist investigations

The transport ministry is requesting for relevant video footage or images of the private jet that crashed in Elmina on August 17 from the public, to assist in its investigations. Eyewitnesses who were in the area or saw the Beechcraft Model 390 go down should also contact the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB, or Biro Siasatan Kemalangan Udara).

According to the MoT, technical investigations of the accident based on Annex 13 – Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation, ICAO was started by the AAIB under the ministry on the day of the crash itself. ICAO Annex 13 says that an early investigation report needs to be ready 30 days from the date of the crash.

The aim of the investigation is to determine the situation and cause of the accident with the goal of saving lives and avoiding the same type of accident in the future. MoT stressed that the investigation’s purpose is not to apportion blame or liability.

Those who have relevant footage such as dashcam videos or pictures of N28JV going down can assist by submitting the material to AAIB at [email protected]. You can contact Lt Kol Juma’in bin Saadon from the TUDM at 03-88921235 if you need assistance. Eyewitnesses can also contact AAIB via email or phone.

At the same time, the transport ministry is urging the public to not share images and videos of the victims who perished in the crash. Basically, if you have original material, share it with the AAIB. If you don’t, refrain from forwarding along images of the deceased out of respect.

On August 17, a Beechcraft Model 390 plane with the registration number N28JV, flying from Langkawi to the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, crashed in the Elmina area of Shah Alam. The private jet had eight people onboard including two crew members, and there were no survivors. A car driver and a motorcyclist also died in the accident, which claimed 10 lives in total.

  • This is the problem when the plane only have a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and not a Flight Data Recorder (FDR). The FDR would definitely tell us what exactly happened.

    Unfortunately this plane is not mandated to have a FDR due to its size is below a certain limit.

  • Give video senang. But if suka2 ask to come buat report, naik turun court, jadi saksi, then susah lah. People need to make a living, unlike political minions that sole function is to make police report or submitting memorandum.

    This is why people prefer to publish at social media than making official report.

      Setuju bang. Jd saksi melecehkan hidup kita. Kena panggil bantu siasatan la, itu ini la. Bkn satu dua kali. Pling best kne rakam statement berkali2 atas alasan rakaman lama salah letak/hilang/tukar IO. Ingt rakyat xde keje lain ke. Tukar IO pling bes, IO lama gi telan gamaknya suma dokumen tu. Xda handover.

      Anda dibayar gaji, buat la keje tu elok2 sket. Mana2 ipk/ipd sama je prangai. Sgt susah nk jumpa yg elok. Action mcm berpaku mahkota keris pdhl 2-3 calit je pun. Piagam pelanggan yg tampal besar2 smpi nak naik bulau mata ni hanyalah hiasan semata2.

      Hanya sujud bila kita ni jutawan/biliowan.

      Sebab apa?

      Sebab boleh dik…

      • What do you think blackbox or voice recorder in aircraft for? To listen to pilots conversation about who they will spend the night with?

    isn’t it the news already highlighted that the dashcam owners have already been interviewed by the authorities?
