KOTA KINABALU: Questions on what really happened in the “Double Six” plane crash that killed former chief minister Tun Fuad Stephens and 10 others will continue to linger in the minds of Sabahans, says Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

Marking the 47th anniversary of the fatal crash, the Sabah Deputy Chief Minister I said these questions on what had actually caused the Australian Nomad 9M-ATZ plane to go down would continue to be a mystery so long as many questions remained unanswered.
