    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1) aircraft, a light private business jet, was carrying six passengers and two crew when it crashed near Elmina township at 2.08 p.m. (0608 GMT), just before it was due to land, Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan told reporters.

    The aircraft lost contact with the air traffic control tower and crashed into a motorbike and a car on the highway, he said.

    The country’s civil aviation authority (CAAM) said the flight had departed from the holiday island of Langkawi and was en route to Selangor’s Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport near capital city Kuala Lumpur.

    CAAM chief executive Norazman Mahmud said the aircraft made first contact with Subang Air Traffic Control Tower at 2.47 p.m. and landing clearance was given at 2.48 p.m.

    “At 2.51 p.m., the Subang Air Traffic Control Tower observed smoke originating from the crash site but no mayday call was made by the aircraft,” he said in a statement.

    Jet Valet did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Reuters, but local media cited the company as saying it will cooperate with authorities on the investigation.

    I’m a bot and I’m open source!

            He wasn’t celebrating their death, he said it was a shame that unrelated people died.

            Also, these people hate you. They are on a private jet because they literally think you are subhuman for not having as much money as them, and they don’t even want to be in the same room as you. I won’t feel too bad about them dying. That’s not celebration, that’s not tripping over yourself to fellate the people that are keeping you down.
