Tense drama before passengers subdue unstable man

PETALING JAYA: It was a drama that unfolded before the eyes of businessman Ang Teck Huat on MH128, who was among those who tried to subdue the passenger who disrupted the Kuala Lumpur-bound flight.

“A few of us tried to help by holding him down. Someone held his hands while others held his legs. We later tied his hands using spare seat belts,” said Ang, recalling the tense moments which began about 10 minutes after the Malaysia Airlines flight took off from Melbourne on Wednesday.
