Muhammad Faisol was one of the 10 crew members in two helicopters, who perished after their choppers collided during rehearsal training at the Royal Malaysian Navy stadium in Lumut, Perak.

A video of the incident showed one of the helicopters clipping the tail rotor of the other before the two crashed onto the ground.
