PETALING JAYA: The son of one of the victims in the fatal 1976 plane crash in Sabah has asked why the authorities did not look into the “failures in the flying control systems” as revealed by a newly-declassified report by the aircraft’s Australian manufacturer.
Donald Peter Mojuntin was referring to a report by the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) of Australia released on Wednesday, which revealed that “failures were found in the flying control systems during wreckage examination, loading calculations, and operational and handling considerations”.
“What does this mean and what caused these ‘failures’? Why was this not mentioned in the Malaysian investigation report?
“Was this important fact not investigated further by the Malaysian authorities?” he told FMT.
