The Royal Malaysian Navy has appealed to the public to share videos and photos of the victims who died in the incident.

Videos show multiple helicopters flying in close formation during a rehearsal at the Lumut naval stadium before the navy fleet's open day celebrations in May.

During the manoeuvre, one helicopter was observed colliding with the rear rotor of another, resulting in both helicopters spiralling out of control and crashing.

Witnesses captured in the footage could be heard exclaiming "Allah, Allah, Allah."

The clip of the collision has now gone viral.
