RMAF Hawk 108 crash
Malaysian marine police divers recovered the rudder of the Hawk 108 that crashed off in Souther Johor yesterday morning.

Rescue efforts will now be concentrated on the area about seven nautical miles east of Mersing.

The jet was part of a two-ship formation that left Kuantan at 2.55pm on a training mission.

A fisherman who was in the area of the crash said that he saw both aircraft flying low near the Kuala Rompin jetty. He added that both were flying lower than usual at about 5pm during heavy rain and thunderstorm.
