PETALING JAYA: Two Malaysia Airlines (MAS) pilots saved the lives of 177 passengers with their quick thinking when the plane's computer system went faulty after take-off from the Perth International Airport, a preliminary report released by Australian authorities has established. 

Flight MH124, headed for Kuala Lumpur on Aug 1, had been airborne for 25 minutes when it suddenly plunged 200m, forcing the Boeing 777 to turn back for an emergency landing.
