Tragic final selfie shows Malaysia plane crash victim inside private jet before it smashed into a road killing ten during flight from paradise island The plane nosedived onto the tarmac in the town of Elmina in Shah Alam All eight passengers and crew members died amid the devastating impact Two motorists were also killed when the plane smashed into the highway By David Averre Published: 08:59 BST, 18 August 2023 | Updated: 09:48 BST, 18 August 2023 e-mail 31 shares View comments The family of one of eight passengers who died when a private jet flying from a luxury holiday island crashed and exploded in a huge fireball on a busy Malaysian road yesterday has revealed the man's tragic final selfie. Shaharul Amir Omar, 49, was travelling in the jet alongside Johari Harun, a politician in charge of housing and environment for Pahang state who had organised the flight as a treat for his employees. Their plane nosedived onto the tarmac in the town of Elmina in Shah Alam, Selangor province, shortly before 3pm local time after departing from the holiday island of Langkawi, killing all eight on board and two unfortunate motorists. Now Amir's sister Norsyahirah, 29, has questioned whether her brother knew he was going to die, explaining that he rarely sent selfies to their family group chat. 'He has never shared so many of his selfies before in our family WhatsApp chat group,' she told Malaysian outlet The Star. 'He normally sends photographs of the places he visits... Maybe he knew his time was coming to an end.' The names of the other passengers who perished in the crash were revealed as Shahrul Kamal Roslan and Heikal Aras Abdul Azim - the two pilots - and Kharil Azwan Jamaludin, Mohamad Naim Fawwaz Mohamed Muaidi, Muhammad Taufiq Mohd Zaki and Idris Abdol Talib, according to The Star and Asia News Network. Shaharul Amir Omar, 49, sent a selfie to sister Norsyahirah, shortly before his death Dashcam footage captured the moment the plane slammed into the concrete and exploded Malaysian officers of Fire and Rescue Department inspect the scene of light aircraft crash in Elmina, state of Selangor, Malaysia, 17 August 2023 Fire and Rescue Department officers look at plane debris at the scene of light aircraft crash in Elmina, state of Selangor, Malaysia, 17 August 2023 Shocking video of yesterday's crash showed how the plane immediately erupted into flames as it smashed into the concrete, while a clip of the aftermath saw the wreckage billowing black smoke after it veered off the road and onto the nearby grass verge. Shah Alam district police chief Mohamad Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed that all the passengers on the plane had perished, as well as a pair of motorists. 'For now, I can say at least 10 people were killed in the plane crash. Two passing motorists - one in a car and one on a motorcycle - also perished together with the eight on board the plane,' Ibrahim declared. Transport Minister Anthony Loke said Friday that the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), which was found Thursday night, was being analysed and that the incident would be investigated. The CVR records what happens in the cockpit, including the final conversations of the flight crew and other sounds. 'I have instructed for investigations to be sped up and done thoroughly. We will make the results public as soon as possible once analysis is concluded,' he told reporters. Like some other small planes, the aircraft was fitted with only a CVR, and did not have a flight data recorder, Malaysian police chief Razarudin Hussein said. He said search operations were '95 percent complete' and were expected to wrap up within the day. 'We have also found 10 bodies and five body parts. This means we have completed our search for the victims. 'The bodies and body parts will be sent to the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang for post-mortem,' Hussein told reporters at the scene. Disturbing photographs from the scene showed how the plane had partially disintegrated after the brutal impact, with the charred wreckage of the stricken motorcycle pictured lying in the street.

But it crashed into the road before reaching its destination, colliding with a motorcycle rider - killing them instantly - along with a second car driver. Civil aviation authority chief Norazman Mahmud said: 'No mayday call was made.' Security cameras at a nearby dental clinic captured the impact. A dentist working there said they were 'still traumatised by the sound of the plane passing by and crashing'. They added: 'The sound was so loud and it shook the whole building. It was like a rocket exploding.' Footage shows smoke billowing from the wreckage as locals rushed to help. The motorcycle rider's body was also engulfed in flames. Onlookers said the aircraft - a Beechcraft Premier 1 with the tail number N28JV - initially crashed onto the road but continued onto the grass verge. A local resident said: 'The pilot and a passenger were dead at the scene. It crashed onto the road and then went towards the grass.'

The cause of the crash is currently unknown. Selangor police chief Omar Khan said: 'No emergency call was made by the aircraft which had already been given clearance to land. The plane was two minutes away from landing. 'We have the flight manifest but we cannot disclose any details at this point in time.'
