Hijacking of Penang Kuala Lumpur Flight 653 Ends in Malaysian Tidelands
Flight 653 from Penang to Kuala Lumpur with onward to Singapore was hijacked. Gunfire erupted aboard as the plane neared Kuala Lumpur, then it diverged to Singapore and crashed in Malaysia's tidelands minutes before a scheduled landing. Reports link the hijack to a Japanese Red Army operation though officials doubt their involvement. The pilot Capt. G K Ganjoor and control towers argued over refueling before the hijackers forced a nonlanding course. Witnesses describe a sharp ascent followed by a flash and explosion. A prior 1974 Air Vietnam hijack is noted for context. The airline investigates possible passengers including Malaysian Agriculture Minister Ali Haji Aman and Cuban ambassador Mario Garcia Inchaustegui.
