Mr Jinaidi Nasiran had been changing his car tyres at his home in Kapar, Malaysia, when he spotted a plane flying “incorrectly” in the sky.

He then witnessed the plane nose-dive into the ground, crashing into a nearby oil palm plantation, Malaysian news agency Bernama reported on the evening of Feb 13.

The Singapore-owned, two-seater Blackshape Gabriel BK 160 aircraft crashed into the town west of Kuala Lumpur on the afternoon of Feb 13.

The bodies of two Malaysians on board – the pilot and the passenger – have been found, recovered and identified as 30-year-old Daniel Yee and 42-year-old Roshaan Singh Raina.

“Something was off with the way the aircraft was flying,” said Mr Nasiran, 55, who lives in Kampung Tok Muda.

“I rushed to the crash site and saw that the plane was already in pieces and slightly buried in the ground.”

He tried but failed to find any victims at the crash site.

Mr Sufian Hadi Abas, who sells fruit near the crash site, said he heard a loud explosion coming from the sky before the crash.

The 45-year-old said: “When I looked up, I saw fragments of the plane flying everywhere before it crashed into the ground.”

Ms Siti Zubaidah Salin, who lives 150m away from the crash site, said she heard a loud explosion and felt tremors when the crash happened.

“I was just relaxing at home when suddenly it felt like an earthquake had hit,” said the 60-year-old.

“I ran outside but there was nothing. It was only later when I heard people talking about a plane crash.”
