A black box tape caught the terrifying last remarks of a pilot who allowed kids to fly his plane before it crashed and murdered everyone inside.
On March 23, 1994, Aeroflot aircraft 593 was traveling from Moscow to Hong Kong with 75 passengers when the accident occurred. The audio recording demonstrated how,
Just before the aircraft crashed in Siberia, relief pilot Yaroslav Vladimirovich Kudrinsky had carelessly let his kids, Yana, 12, and Eldar, 16, into the cockpit.
When it was Eldar’s time to take charge, he accidentally switched the aircraft off by hitting the controls too hard, even though the autopilot was on, making it impossible for the teens to operate.
The lives of all those on board were now in his hands, and he was instantly in complete control of the aircraft’s actions.
