All 93 passengers and 7 crew were killed instantly. The flight was apparently hijacked as soon as it reached cruise altitude. The circumstances in which the hijacking and subsequent crash occurred remain unsolved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v37\/azuan1880\/blogs\/2010\/TanjungKupang\/ru_013.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto from a Kosmo news article last year shared <a href=\"http:\/\/eforum1.cari.com.my\/viewthread.php?tid=450580\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For my blog readers that just got to know about this tragedy, here\u2019s the Sequence of Events as captured in Wikipedia from various sources.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Flight MH653 departed Penang&#8217;s Runway 22 at exactly 19:21 hours for Kuala Lumpur&#8217;s Subang Airport (now known as Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport).[Passengers included the Malaysian Agricultural Minister, Dato&#8217; Ali Haji Ahmad; Public Works Department Head, Dato&#8217; Mahfuz Khalid; and Cuban Ambassador to Japan, Mario Garcia. The pilot in command was Captain G.K. Ganjoor.<\/p>\n<p>At approximately 19:54 hours, while at an altitude of 4,000 feet over Batu Arang and descending toward Subang&#8217;s Runway 33, captain G.K. Ganjoor reported an &#8220;unidentified hijacker&#8221; onboard to Subang Tower. The tower immediately notified the authorities, who made emergency preparations at the airport.<br \/>\nA few minutes later, however, Captain Ganjoor radioed: &#8220;We&#8217;re now proceeding to Singapore&#8230;&#8221;. Flight MH653 never touched down at Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>At 20:15 hours, all communication with flight MH653 was lost.<\/p>\n<p>At 20:36 hours, the residents of Kampong Ladang, Tanjong Kupang in Johor reported hearing explosions and seeing burning wreckage in a swamp. The wreckage was later identified as Flight MH653. The plane hit the ground at a near-vertical angle at a very high speed. There were no survivors and not one recognizable body was found.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v37\/azuan1880\/blogs\/2010\/TanjungKupang\/ru_012.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v37\/azuan1880\/blogs\/2010\/TanjungKupang\/ru_014.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nPhotos from a Kosmo news article last year shared <a href=\"http:\/\/eforum1.cari.com.my\/viewthread.php?tid=450580\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some useful links if you want to read more on the Tragedy:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/eforum1.cari.com.my\/viewthread.php?tid=450580\">Forum Cari &#8211; Tragedi Pesawat MH635 Terhempas di Tanjung Kupang, Johor 4\/12\/7<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v37\/azuan1880\/blogs\/2010\/TanjungKupang\/13203PM.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also check out Profesionnal Pilot Rumours Network forum post on this tragedy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pprune.org\/south-asia-far-east\/285937-hijacked-mas-flight-mh-653-4th-december-1977-a.html\">here<\/a> for a more comprehensive views on what had happened.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v37\/azuan1880\/blogs\/2010\/TanjungKupang\/13222PM.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On my recent trip to JB, I stopped by at the Memorial Peringatan Tanjung Kupang. 33 years ago, this site was the scene of a very touching mass funeral that brings Malaysians together.
