Don’t just blame my father for ‘Double Six’ crash, says pilot’s son


KOTA KINABALU: Pilot Captain Nizam Gandhi, the son of the late Capt Gandhi J. Nathan who piloted the ill-fated Nomad N22B, 9M-ATZ plane that crashed in 1976, feels his father should not be made to bear the sole blame for the incident.

“Maybe the report is correct, but the airline company has the bigger responsibility of making sure the loading of the aircraft was in accordance with the guidelines,” he said when asked to comment on the released “Double Six” tragedy report.
