Kota Kinabalu: Family members of some of the 11 who died in the June 6, 1976 Nomad plane crash are grateful to the Unity Federal Cabinet, particularly Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, for Wednesday’s decision to declassify the reports on the tragedy’s findings after 47 years, by next week.
It has been 46 years since the fatal Nomad plane crash in Sembulan and for the first time in over four decades, Captain Nizam Ghandi Nathan finally had the chance to meet the “Sembulan boys” who assisted in recovering his father’s body from the debris.
Nizam was only 16 and was living with his mother and siblings some 1,639 kilometres away in the peninsula when the plane crashed on June 6, 1976, killing all 11 people on board, including his father, pilot Captain Ghandi Nathan
