KAPAR, Feb 14 — The clearance and removal of the wreckage from the tragic BK 160 Gabriel aircraft crash in Kampung Tok Muda were successfully concluded around 1:05 pm this afternoon.

The crash claimed the lives of the pilot Daniel Yee Hsiang Khoon, 31, and co-pilot Roshaan Singh Raina, 43, who were on a recreational flight.

The aircraft operated by Air Adventure Flying Club, took off from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang, at 1:28 pm yesterday.

A media survey at the site revealed that the commencement of work, involving a team from the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) and relevant agencies, began at 10 am.

An excavator was used to extract the aircraft engine, while a team of workers collected the remaining debris, loading it into a truck and a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

The wreckage is expected to be transported to a hangar near Subang Airport for further investigation.

It is understood from the police that the post-mortems are expected to be concluded later today by the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang.
