“The weather was fine then, and I had taken some pictures a few minutes before the incident, the sky was blue, there was no rain, it was a hot and shiny day.
“A thorough investigation should be conducted immediately on the black box as it involves public safety,” she said.
Meanwhile, one passenger said has been having problems sleeping and that incident had caused injuries to his chest. At that time I had finished drinking and wanted to sleep when the plane dived, I floated, and at that time, I thought I would die, and when the plane landed and we got out of the plane, I noticed that all the passengers looked pale,” he remarked.
Meanwhile, CAAM, (Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia) said the aircraft made an air turnback to Kuala Lumpur International
