Rescue personnel surrounding the wreckage of the GAF Nomad aircraft that went down on June 6, 1976 at Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.
PETALING JAYA: "Double Six" pilot Gandhi J. Nathan was likely under pressure, exhausted and was experiencing stomach discomfort at the time of the aircraft's crash, according to the declassified report on the tragedy.
"Pathological tests on the pilot proved that he was reasonably fit at the time and not suffering from the effects of alcohol or drugs; though there was other evidence to suggest that he was tired and had a mild stomach disorder," the report read.
