IPOH: Sudden strong winds kept pushing the helicopter upwards after it had taken a detour because of bad weather, says the pilot of the aircraft that crashed near Brinchang in Cameron Highlands.

Apologising for the incident, Capt Fedzrol Norazam, 43, said what happened was in the hands of God, but there was a possibility it was his fault as well.
