Yesterday’s unfortunate aircraft crash was not the first to have occurred at Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam. Elmina had previously seen the air crash of Japanese Airlines Flight 715 that took place on 27 September 1977.
The McDonnell Douglas DC-8 aircraft was due for a stopover at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang before heading to Singapore. It had 69 passengers and 10 crew members on board. Out of the 69 passengers, 29 were Japanese. The plane descended below the minimum descent altitude of 750 feet. And at 300 feet, it, unfortunately, crashed four miles from the airport and broke on impact, with no fire.
