'Double Six' plane crash: Declassified report did not provide answers, say victims’ families


KOTA KINABALU: Families of the victims of Sabah's "Double Six" tragedy are still seeking answers to what happened on June 6, 1976, even though the Malaysian government had declassified the crash report on Wednesday (April 12).

The report, which was kept classified under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) for 47 years, rules out any sabotage and puts the blame mainly on pilot error as well as unbalanced cargo loading of the aircraft and poor Sabah Air management practices.
