Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Hope the tech crew got out fine as it looks like a runway overrun (on landing?) The cockpit seems to bore the brunt of the impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Given the timing, that's likely the inbound from BKI, before the leg to SDK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teo 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 story from the star KOTA KINABALU: At least three people were injured when a twin-otter MASwings aircraft skidded off the runway and hit a house during landing in Sabah’s northern Kudat airport. Details remain sketchy though at least three people were hurt in the crash that occurred at around 2.55pm on Thursday. It is learned that a pilot and two others were in serious condition while the others including passengers numbering sustained minor injuries. There were 16 people aboard the plane including the pilot. All were rushed to the Kudat hospital for immediate treatment. MASwings officials when contacted said that they would be releasing details later as they were still in process of gathering information for an official statement. The immediate indication is that the aircraft skidded due to strong winds though officials were unwilling to speculate at this moment. Kudat is about 170km from Kota Kinabalu and the twin otter serves as part of MASwings rural air service in Sabah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Chuo Hock Tieng 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 From the google map, there aren no house at both runways end. So from both runway landing, no way the aircraft can rammed into houses unless its veered to the left or right, hence rammed into house. Does it termed as landed short? Skidded may be proper?

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Police said the aircraft which was carrying 16 people, appeared to have overshot the runway and ended up near a vacant house in the nearby Kampung Sin-San. ..... "The aircraft landed short of the runway in Kudat." I suppose this what happens when our journalist doesn't know what the terms mean Anyway, good to hear no fatalities, hope for a speedy recovery for the injured (looks bad though for the crew, judging by condition of the nose section) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

filipeseda 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 As much as I don't want to jump to any conclusions, these aircraft have been recently arrowed for replacement given their age. Will see what the authorities say. By the way, what is Malaysia's NTSB equivalent? Who generally handles civil aviation accidents? RIP to the pilot...

Mulyadir Fitri 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Ok. Did a bit of CSI work in Google Earth. From this pic, I deduced that it is at this location, Due to the colour of the pink gazebo and the roof. You can also see the road bump from other pics. But the thing is, it is located here in relation to the airport. The crash landing was almost perpendicular to the runway. There is no way lt landed short or overshot.

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 I think subsequently news resports just stated that it crashed in the vicinity of the airport....no more overshot, undershot....and one news piece stated that MH3002 was taking off for the second leg KUD-SDK... So, if it was taking off on rwy 22, did the plane crash nose first, just missing the house but skimming its roof, and then flipped into the opposite direction facing perpendicular to the rwy and finally, rested on the concrete fence? Or aiming for that open space in front of the house...? Speculation...speculations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur W. 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Was in Kudat recently and it has been quite gusty of late. Probably crash due to strong crosswinds during approach? It is after all a light aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
