If you have been following my post, I blogged about quite a few of aircraft accidents (engine failures, structure defects, etc) involving this school. All of the cadets & flying instructors escaped unhurt or at most with minor injury.

But not this time. Not today.

One of my colleague has passed away.

My senior. Age 20. Batch 14. Mohd Ariff from SJ.

We heard about the news that he was doing mutual instrument flying with his batchmate, Mohd Farid evening yesterday and then went missing. Hours later, another news came that they were last seen crash landed into a forest.

And it was only this morning, they were found. The report from KT tower was that both of them were found with serious injury and still alive.

Minutes later, another call came. And the rest I need not to say.

For more details, please go to Berita Harian Online.

May peace and strength prevail within the family members of Mohd Ariff. The other guy, Mohd Farid, is in ICU now. Hopefully, he will be fine.



And oh yeah, another 153 people died in a crash at Madrid airport. Check out the news in The Star.
