Long Lellang crash stirs memories of 1990s FDS emergency landing for ex-Miri Hospital chief
A helicopter crash at Long Lellang on Tuesday killed a pilot and four medical personnel, prompting former Miri Hospital director Dr Uma Devi to recall a similar emergency landing she survived while serving with the Flying Doctor Service in the 1990s. She described the engine failure, the crash landing among trees, and the two-hour wait before an army helicopter winched the group to safety.
