The flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport overlooking
all went smoothly. At 19:54, 33 minutes after takeoff, Flight MH653 arrived in the airspace of Kuala Lumpur Airport. The crew contacted the Kuala Lumpur Control Center:
"Call Kuala Lumpur Control, here is Malaysia Airlines 653, please allow us to approach. Now there are 15 kilometers away from the airport."
"Malaysia Airlines 653, allow the approach, please descend to 2000 feet and hold."
"Altitude drops to 2000 feet and hold, Malaysia Airlines 653 understands." After the call between
and the Kuala Lumpur Control Center, the crew began to execute the pre-landing checklist procedure. After the checklist procedure was completed, the crew contacted the Subang International Airport Tower:
"Subang Tower, this is Malaysia Airlines 653, requesting permission to enter the site. "Z1z
" Malaysia Airlines 653, agreed to approach, allowing you to land on Runway 33."

But at this moment, there was a loud shout in the cabin. Accompanied by the exclamation of women, it turned out that several people spoke Japanese. Of the male passengers held a gun and held a flight attendant to the cockpit door and started smashing it. Captain
: "What happened?" The co-pilot of
: "I don't know." Captain
: "An unknown hijacker appeared in Malaysia Airlines 653." Z1z
Tower: "Okay, we will notify the relevant authorities to do so. Get ready."
"Open the door quickly, hurry up, or kill him (her)!" At this moment, the hijacker's lame "Japanese English" roar sounded outside the door (it is estimated that the hijacker fears the crew will listen I don’t understand Japanese, so I changed my speaking English).
In desperation, the captain was forced to get up and open the cockpit door, "Well, the door is already open, don't you want us to land?"
A hijacker who rushed into the cockpit brandished his pistol. "Turn off the communication equipment!" Captain
: "What?!!!"
hijacker: "I told you to turn off the communication equipment!" Captain
: "Where are you going?"
hijacker: "Go Singapore, as long as you cooperate, we will not hurt you." Captain
: "Well, stop the approach and go around." The co-pilot of
: "Malaysia Airlines 653 went around." Captain
: "Retract the landing gear."
co-pilot: "Confirm."
hijacker: "I'll say it one last time, cut off all communication equipment, and then follow our instructions.. Captain
: "Okay, but we don't have enough fuel to go farther, so we can only go to Singapore at the moment." "Z1z
hijacker: "Then go to Singapore first. Captain
: "I need to inform the air traffic control center that we have changed the route. "Z1z
hijacker:" Then hurry up. Captain
: "Malaysian Airlines 653 called the Kuala Lumpur Control Center. We are heading to Singapore. "Z1z
At 19:58, Flight MH653 adjusted its course and headed to Singapore. The
hijacker: "You didn't say anything to them?" Captain
: "You go to Singapore, right? We need to determine the flight route and altitude. This airspace is very busy, and we must make a flight plan to avoid route conflicts. We will arrive in Singapore in about 27-uh-28 minutes. "(The captain sets the heading to 140° and the cruising altitude is 22,000 feet)

The hijacker ordered the first officer: "Go and lock the (cockpit) door. "Z1z
co-pilot: "Okay. "Z1z
flew like this for about 15 minutes. At 20:14, Flight MH653 flew over Johor, Malaysia. The
hijacker: "About how far is it?" Captain
: "There is still 70 miles away from Singapore. "Z1z
hijacker: "Are we on land or at sea now?" Captain
: "On land, we must pass there to reach Singapore. Can I turn off the light? "Z1z
Co-pilot: "Can you descend to an altitude of 11,000 feet?" "Z1z
hijacker: "Does the airport know why this plane changed its course?" Captain
: "We just said that we were going to Singapore, and nothing else. "The
hijacker did not speak, but the first officer asked the control center to lower to 11,000 feet, indicating that the hijacker had acquiesced to the crew's request. Captain
: "Relax? Now everything is normal, we will not do anything extra. "Z1z
hijacker: "Wait, what is this?" OK, you dare to lie to me! Captain
: "No! can not be like this! "Z1z
hijacker: "He is not needed here, damn it. "Z1z
Immediately after 20:15, the hijacker took a pistol and fired a shot at the captain and the co-pilot. The captain and the co-pilot fell in a pool of blood. Maybe one of the two was not killed immediately. So the hijacker fired a third shot. This time, the poor captain and co-pilot who had been very cooperative with the hijacker were really dead.
(20:15, all communications between the ground and flight MH653 It was interrupted, and the voice of the robber remained in the voice recorder in the cockpit.) The
hijacker dragged away the captain’s body and sat on the captain’s seat. At this time, passengers might be heard outside the cockpit door. Fighting with the flight crew and the hijackers in the cabin and trying to hit the cab and the sound of hitting the door, the extremely nervous hijackers in the cockpit then violently pulled the bar backwards and raised the nose angle to 70°. Immediately there was a stall warning and a tilt angle warning in the cockpit, "Ahhhhh, pull up! "Z1z

a few seconds later, flight MH653 completely stalled, the nose began to dive down, the altitude dropped sharply, and the airspeed suddenly increased. Without controlling the aircraft. Experienced hijackers are just instinctive levers. Of course, it does not help the crisis. The speeding warning sounded in the cockpit. At around 20:36, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH653 9M-MBD Boeing 737-200 was in a nearly vertical attitude. One head crashed in a swamp in Tanjung Kupang, Johor, Malaysia,No one lives for 100 people on the plane. At the crash site of flight
MH653
20:40, the first group of nearby residents arrived at the crash site, and they saw a large amount of debris burning in the swamp. Later, during the process of cleaning up the wreckage, evidence was found to prove that the wreckage belonged to Flight 9M-MBD of Flight MH653, but the remains cleared out at the scene were completely unrecognizable.
A few days later, the cabin call recorder of the aircraft was later found. The accident investigation team discovered the following: When the hijacker took control of the aircraft before the crash, the captain and co-pilot were locked in the cockpit. During the dialogue, it was shown that the atmosphere was not tense, and the dialogue between the hijacker and the two crew members was in a gentle tone. Suddenly, there were two gunshots in a short period of time, and soon there was a third gunshot, the last one.
At this time, the aircraft can still be controlled, and the automatic navigation system is still on. Then there was a sound that might be a blasting of the cab door, followed by a bunch of screams and curses of passengers, and at this stage no sound was heard in the cab.
The wreckage of the 9M-MBD plane at the crash site
was later disconnected from the automatic navigation system. It may be that someone who forcibly entered the cockpit tried to pilot the aircraft, but that person did not know how to operate the aircraft. The investigator believes that someone pulled the joystick back to raise the nose, and this action caused the aircraft to respond accordingly, and the measurement exceeded the strength that people can bear, causing the aircraft to undergo a gradual increase and finally uncontrollable pitch. Concussion is the random operation of the hijacker to induce concussion. Then there was another strong ups and downs, and the plane finally crashed in the swamp. The hijackers speak Japanese, and it is suspected that the plan for the hijacking and murder of the crew was planned by the Japanese Chi Army. All the human remains collected by
were later processed by X-rays to try to find evidence of the shot in the remains to confirm the identity of the captain and co-pilot, but in the end no traces of weapons or bullets were found on all the remains. . In the end, these human remains were buried in a cemetery. This cemetery is located on Goman Cha Road, Johor Bahru and is called Tanjung Kupang Memorial Cemetery. This accident became the most serious air crash in Malaysia's history, but the official air crash investigation report has never been submitted.
The Tanjung Kupang air crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH653 was the first crash of Malaysia Airlines since its establishment in 1947.
