- On 23 March 1994, Aeroflot Flight 593 stalls and crashes while en route to Hong Kong, killing all 75 people on board. The pilot's 15-year-old son accidentally disabled the autopilot while in the captain's seat, causing the aircraft to bank heavily to the right, inducing the stall.

Imagine the disbelief of the investigators the first time they listened to the CVR.
Where's that video of the boy in the pilot seat?
@@VideoServicesVB they definately wont reveal it in public and possibly it was destroyed in the crash

21:02 west air sweden 294 diving scene
The fact that the kid was quicker to realize that the plane was diving than the pilots makes it much more terrifying.
And yet they said these pilots were the 'best of the best', imagine the ones who're not 'the best of the best'
The plane wasn’t in a dive m, it was banking to the left, kid saw it on the glide slope display, by the time they decided to to take control over f it the plane was in a dive.
@@this_sabby no ways we know the best pilots would never do this foolish act
@@kayakaziloqo7297 exactly the best pilots wouldn't let their kids fly the plane
I wonder had it been daylight and had they been able to see how far from the ground they were, would they have had a chance.
I can't understand why the captain didn't IMMEDIATELY take control the minute he knew something was wrong while there was yet time. This crash is unbelievable.
I could see the captain letting the kids come to the door and look at the cockpit but to let them sit in his seat and take the controls is purely insane.
Bet it's a fake story to blame it on pilots, made up a story probably Eldar wasn't even a kid.
There was a 9 second window to adjust and fix the problem. In those 9 seconds, he and his copilot were confused by something that doesn't happen in Russian planes and that they were not briefed on: one of the screens reported that they were suddenly above an airport, which would be ridiculous.
From what I've seen from a comment, when the pilot's daughter was the one flying, she was just holding the stick, when it was the son's turn, he pushed on the stick which turned off the auto-pilot. This was probably what the pilot were confused at. Then it was too late when the plane started turning all over the place since the pilot couldnt take over due to the Gs. Since the cockpit doesnt have it's own anti-gravity, the Pilot was definitely tumbling all over the cockpit to even take over
@@chikin6146 Well the kid says "Why is it turning." And his dad, the Capt, asks "Is it turning by itself?" And the kid says "Yes it is." Right then he should've said "Get up without touching anything and let me have it." Well, I'ts what I would've done but honestly, I'd never allow my kids to turn the plane in the first place. And, maybe the video here doesn't represent how it actually happened because in the video he has plenty of time to take the controls. Maybe in real life it played out much faster than it did in the video.
They won’t do that again lol
Ignoring the fact he let his kids fiddle with the controls, the fact they seemingly saved the plane only to be way too low and crash anyways is extremely sad.
When the kid Said “hey why is it turning” the captain should’ve gotten right back to his seat and taken control immediately . Even if they were confused with the situation. 🙃 unbelievable..
Ya think? So dumb to let the kids sit in the captain's chair. I remember as a kid being invited into the cockpit but never to sit in the chair
@@davedoesthingsdreaded even if they dont sit in the chair they can still push all kinds of buttons in the cealing, turning off hydraulics and what not. That cockpit door should be locked at all time
Hindsight is always 20/20.
NO! He should have NEVER LET THAT KID TOUCH ANYTHING TO BEGIN WITH!
After watching several air disasters docus I came to realize pilots tend to trust the plane too much. They even have an official aviation term for this excessive trust (I forgot what that term is called). The capitain here probably assumed nothing bad would happen.
"Would you like to pilot the plane?"
"Noo."
Kid had more sense than the father
He also knew before the first officer that the plane shouldn't be permitted to rollover. Those were two of the dumbest pilots in human history.

Can you imagine watching children walk into the cockpit and then a couple minutes later the plane starts bank? There is definitely dark humor in that. Whoever witnessed the kids going into the cockpit were probably thinking _"Ah sh*t, I knew it!"_
Aeroflot had to put out a new directive
*DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN FLY THE AIRPLANE*
I am truly convinced that this wasn’t the first time that this particular pilot had his son sitting in a pilot seat and allowed to manipulate controls while the plane was flying. The mother did mention that the kids frequently traveled with their father.
Good point
They speak of all the reasons this happened and how this all could have been avoided.....however, no matter how you slice it, the father had no business letting kids take the pilot seat.
Also, when the *KID* said something was off about the plane, the pilot shoulda jumped back in ASAP.

Did you not watch the video. All pilots around the world didn't have the proper training for dealing with unusual bank angles and the autopilot. Training has been revolutionized since. It wasn't just one man's decision. If anything he helped exposed a deficiency that would've caused more accidents.
@@chukwudiilozue9171 What's the point of allowing the kid to sit in the seat if you're just gonna ruin it by freaking out if somethings a little off. Better to wait so as to not ruin the nice family moment. Have some empathy
Why was the pilot buried in the “heroes” cemetery? His negligence and stupidity killed not only his own children, but everyone else on board.
That's what I've always wondered, why are the children buried with heroes? It's the boy's fault.
@@MilesL.auto-train4013 It's not a 15-year-old's fault for failing to deal with a situation that he absolutely NEVER should have been in, that the qualified adults (including his guardian) had multiple opportunities to keep him out of. Nor is it his fault for accidentally activating functionality of the plane that not even the trained pilots were aware of. The children are victims. The adults that could and should have stopped the situation before it started, on the other hand...
@@Zetalight16 Yeah you're right now that I think about it. The adults are the ones to blame.
@@MilesL.auto-train4013 Glad you changed your mind.
@@Britt4ny Still though, why are they buried in a heroes grave?
This one made my blood boil. How can someone be so irresponsible. I don't get it. RIP. What a terrible tragedy.
I’ve been on a binge of these. And they are almost always tragic. But this one hits differently. Malfunctions, weather, maintenance negligence, communication errors happen a lot. This was so easily avoidable and such gross negligence. I’m so sorry for the people who died because of the captain and first in command. So very sorry. It doesn’t matter how much they spin it. It was the captains fault. Not the kids. Not the uncles’. It was the captain. Period.
@Kelly Zambo - No ifs, ands, or buts about it that's for sure.
Aeroflot 6502 crashed because the pilot made a gamble that he could land the aircraft without visuals. Aeroflot had a very lax safety policy.
FINALLY!! I BEEN HATING THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY WAS BLAMING THE KIDS!!!!
@@24sins48 Even the program itself made it sound like it was the kids’ fault. Absolutely not. It’s not a family reunion in the cockpit. It’s a job where the Captain is responsible for hundreds of lives. No one else is to blame.
@@Kellyzebras713 Exactly, the kids didn't know better because, well, they are kids, their brains are still developing and not mature yet.
I am heartbroken for the mother. She lost both of her children and her husband due to her husband's unbelievably idiotic actions. I can't even begin to imagine how that must feel.
Yeah, as soon as I realized he was taking all their kids I was horrified, realizing what that meant. Seeing that kids smile I couldn't help but smile back, remembering what was about to happen took that away really quick. If I was her I might wish I'd been on the plane too, I don't know how I could go one if I suffered a loss that great all at once.
So who was that lady sitting next to the uncle before they went to the cockpit?
@@SongSingsSoprano She is the daughter of the guy who brought children to the cockpit
@@fanofthelinkinpark And the guy who brought children to the cockpit is the Captain's brother. he's a pilot too. A family affairs
It was the foolish person sitting next to the kids that had to mess things up
It’s painful how this could have been avoided. It’s so sad that one mans decision changed lives forever.
I wonder if anyone looted through the luggage and bodies
@ In the middle of nowhere Siberia where the closest civilization is hundreds of miles away? I doubt it.
LIMA air crash was even worse

@@ohh2752 ~ Yes, exactly! The airline should have trained all pilots to this new technology, and the fact that the alarm would not sound to alert them that something was wrong, etc! It's freakin common sense that they should have!!! I just don't get it!! The plane was clearly recoverable if the pilots were trained correctly in the first place!!
That kid wasn't even old enough to see a R rated movie! He's flying a plane to the ground!
This is an example of poor training. The pilots didn't know:
The autopilot will partially disengage if you put enough pressure on the controls while it is engaged
The autopilot doesn't make a warning tone when it's partially disengaged (bad design btw)
The procedures for manually recovering from an unusual attitude (huge bank angle, climb/dive angle)
The Airbus has computerized flight controls that can recover from stalls on their own with no input from the pilot
If anybody on the flight deck had known any one of those things this crash could have been avoided.
If the captain kept his kids out of his seat, it could have been avoided too.
@cheryldahl9192 True, but the other issues OP mentioned would have then been a ticking time bomb for another plane.
Poor training and even poorer decisions.
I can’t believe people lost their lives just cause an adult was stupid enough to let a child fly a plane.
right
He didn't let Eldar fly the plane, though. The plane yielded partial control over to Eldar and the crew wasn't notified. It's not as if his father was like "here, kid. Get us to china."
@@annemarie4305 It was still absolutely wrong for the boy to be sitting there.
@@briantitchener4829 I'm not arguing that. But the notion that his father willingly and deliberately let him steer is factually incorrect.
Thank you!
It's really shocking.
It's more disastrous than as if a surgeon allowing his child to operate on a patient. Gosh..RIP departed souls.
L
It's one thing to allow children into the cockpit, but they should have never been allowed to sit in the pilot's seat and have access to the controls. In that sense, the fault lies clearly on the pilot.
I disagree. In this case he had the autopilot on so (he thought) the boy couldn't do anything, and even if he did they are high in the sky and should have plenty of time to recover. Now this was very unlucky that they weren't aware of this hidden feature of the plane they made them fail to recover the plane. But in 99 cases out of 100 this should never had become a dangerous situation even with a kid sitting in the captain's chair for a couple of minutes.
But performing open body surgery on a patient? There is no auto pilot for that and no room for error either. One wrong cut and the patient is dead. So no, that would be way more irresponsible than what these guys did, even if it did turn out disastrous
@@mudgatebronn4438 actually I hear that if you mess with the ""steering wheel"" it can run the risk of shutting off the auto pilot on some aircraft
The difference is a surgeons child wouldn’t kill 75 people
I can’t even imagine the pain of the wife and mother of the pilot “responsible” for this absolutely tragic crash.
Can you imagine loosing your entire family at once plus many other people died… and how some people might have treated her?
Omg.
I just hope so bad that mom has found peace.
No mum probably still thinks her kid was intelligent enough to fly the plane ... must have been a malfunction in the plane mum be believing still
Why write responsible in „“? He could have prevented it at so many points.
weird you don't try to imagine what all the families of those murderers must feel , she can be only ashamed what they have done to innocent people, you sound as smart as the pilot in that tragedy so I'm not expecting you to see why your comment looks dumb, you have compassion of a potato if that woman is the one to feel bad for , and the fact that you wrote responsible in quotation marks only proves what I just wrote
I thought the same! Poor mother!
@@evamicaelagaleanogonzalez3480 I blame everyone in the cockpit for the tragedy. The mom maybe also. Neither kid showed enough judgment to refuse to fly the plane and it's obvious that the dad had zero sense. Shame they didn't get any sense from the mom, either.
If you're the pilot you don't ever let anyone else put their hands on the controls especially a f**king child.
That should be common sense i know he will say they were never told or trained for that, that's just how stupid some people are
yes I agree a 15 year old it's ridiculous
It was all because that idiot brought the children into the cockpit and then their father was more concerned with impressing his children than the safety of all the passengers. Ridiculous!
@@lisas8244 so russian
@@ronakknikam To be fair it isn't actually unique to Russia. There were three cases of kids being allowed into a cockpit to manipulate the controls here in the states, though in those cases, it didn't lead to disaster.
He shouldn't have let the kids into the cockpit, he did. He shouldn't have let them sit in the pilot's seat, he did. He shouldn't have let them touch anything, he did. He shouldn't have left him unattended without closely monitoring, he did. Even the co-pilot wasn't monitoring. He should have immediately jumped into his seat, he didn't. Oh god!
Didn't have to jump anywhere.
If you did have kids in the cockpit, only have them when the plane is landed and the pilots don’t have to do anything.

The fact that kids were in the cockpit is irrelevant. It’s the fact that someone other than a pilot was flying the plane that’s important.
I'd be afraid to hand over the control of a car to a 15 yr kid, let alone an airplane. 75 people bite the dust as a result.😕
Not uncommon to see this in some cultures. I've seen kids that looked like 10 in driver's seat on a public road. With the rest of the family in the car. Not a big leap from that to this, just a matter of access if the mentality and culture are there.
I'm afraid to hand my xbox controller to a kid let alone the control of a car or an airplane. Very few 15 year olds have a mature mindset probably 0.01%. The average kid today is very stupid and their minds are mush.
The idea was that the plane won't react, like a turned off car
I think it's BS and the Russian government didnt want to reveal the pilots were incapacitated by vodka. They would have sobered up just in time for the landing in Hong Kong. A kid feeling the yoke couldnt bring down a plane with two senior 10 000 hour pilots on board, no way.
@@user2kffs Yeah but, men drink. To have revealed that as the reason would be less embarrassing than coming out with a story such as this. To say that a kid was in control of a multi million dollar machine would be far more damning and would not help their image one bit. These pilots were sober, but no matter what letting a kid even into the pit was a mistake. I think he did more than just feel the yoke, he did maneuver it. We will never know for sure.
This is infuriating! While there is plane full of ppl fast sleep, this guy is letting his kids play tiddly-winks with the controls.
Unbelievable.
Hi hello how are you doing today?
@@collinsmichael486 shutup
This was in the years before the changes to cockpit access after the events of 9/11, so before that in prior decades, access to the cockpit was a fairly regular occurrence with children being allowed into the cockpit and rules were extremely lax. However that doesn’t excuse the events that happened due to the captains negligence and likewise the rest of the flight crew.
@@10191927 when I was a kid in like 2010, I don't know the exact year, but definitely after 9/11, they allowed me to go in the cockpit without any issues. Obviously, they weren't stupid and allowed me to sit in the seats. I'm not sure how relaxed pilots are now, but I know that some pilots allow kids to see the cockpit from time to time.
@@aria9003 should be while it’s grounded only
It's amazing how most of the plane accidents end up making plane travel safer and safer
Now that’s what you call Irony!
Tombstones rules, regulations and laws are written in blood.
All these years since I first read about this incident while researching for a paper during my college, I still cannot believe how it happened. Absolutely ridiculous actions.
@Honest Abe - Its definitely an unbelievable tragedy. Chalk it up to Russian arrogance and pride, left over from the Soviet era.
So all Russians break rules back then ? It was against rules to let outsiders in cockpit let alone sit in chair and play with controls.
@shizzyna
As some who grew up in UsssR let me explain: it is not that all Russians break rules but let’s take a simple DUI. In Russia if only 30% of drivers drive drunk you are going to have huge consequences versus Western Europe where less then 5 % DUI.
This is like if a surgeon let their kid operate on their patient as a "learning experience."
When peoples lives are in your hands, you don't gamble with their lives by treating their lives as an educational lesson.
Yes
great analogy! had the pilots survived they should have gotten very long prison sentences
Agreed
One thing is watching other is operating. If you take your son to watch a surgery that is fine , but you don't hadley him the equipment
Or an animal trainer letting their kids train a dangerous animal for the same thing
Out of all of the plane crashes I've binge-watched so far, this one makes my blood boil the most. Not only because the pilot just handed over the lives of all passengers on board to his teenage kids, but also because of the lack of blame towards the pilots and the boy. Yeah something's wrong with the plane, but at the hands of an experienced pilot they had a much higher chance of survival. All that boy could do for a few minutes straight was following simple instructions of turning left or right...
Such entitlement it’s disgusting
Never fly with this airline, it has so many accidents
I dont understand your point of view - kid done nothing wrong (to captains knowledge) because the autopilot was on. The fact that autopilot disconected without any alarm and started turning the plane listening to Kid's inputs - that was the main problem. They were baffled because they didnt expect anything of that matter to happen.
Imagine sitting at the Driver seat of your family car when you are 12.. Obviously you are not driving, the car is stationary; but imagine now suddenly car starts to drive and turn when its not supposed to. You would be confused as well.
@@YurandX the point is those teenage kids had no business being at the controls or in the pilot's seat of a commercial passenger plane! Even if the plane got an issue, the pilot didn't get an opportunity to personally intervene irrespective of the outcome! Just a "few" minutes lost in a plane emergency dramatically impact the outcome!
Since pilot put those kids there, the lives lost were on his head.
Also what is a 12 year old doing in the driver's seat of a car? Most of them might attempt to try out something while there. And if something suddenly went wrong are they equipped to respond in an appropriate & timely manner?
@@YurandX Why didn't they know? Seems like inadequate training to me. Or perhaps they were told, but because it's not what they were used to they forgot. In any event, the plane wouldn't have crashed with the autopilot behaving as it was, if a kid wasn't flying the plane. The plane still would have crashed with the kid flying, even without the autopilot. It is 100% the fault of the crew allowing a child to fly a passenger jet, and no one else.
There seems to be so many times this plane could have recovered. Such a tragedy
One thing that I find irredeemable is how the co-pilot saved the plane from the initial dive, and yet inexplicably put the plane in an absurdly steep climb well beyond its technical and performative capabilities. The whole event is an amalgamation of gross negligence on all counts.
At 17:00, without hesitation the pilot should've said get up, let me sit back down. Very dumb, worse than allowing the teenager to fly.
That's correct. They had at least 45 seconds from the time they realized the plane was "turning by itself" until they were unable to do so.
What about the copilot? Didn't have both hands on controls in the first minute of the emergency. Fighting the autopilot, neither pilot mentions the aileron disengaged auto-pilot light.
@@goldreserve the Entire Crew dropped the ball. I mean they should have a Guard over that Red Button of Death... what a shame!
That's right, that was the big mistake, too much is being made of the kid.
Now you speak up.
The guy who brought them in is crazy, he could’ve just let the kids sleep and dream.
The point was that they weren't able to sleep, that's why he took them to the cockpit. If the children had been asleep this all wouldn't have happened.
Still should have only let them look in, then go back to their seats right away
@@amberrose1108 Well from then the father's role started to give their kids' an experience, believing all that he was taught in the training. It's a parental instinct I'd say.
The only seeming inexplainable blunder is that, when the kid reported an issue, why not take controls immediately, regardless of the severity of the problem?
Are you open for a new business opportunities?
@@truebluewonderful1139 Disagree! He was a Pilot too and should know the safety protocol!
The stupidest behavior ever! Hand an airborne plane containing precious lives into the hands of a clueless kid!
The father's irresponsibility in letting the young people control the plane ended everyone's lives 😢
Just because they're your kids doesn't give you the right to put them in a position that could kill everyone onboard. Sure they didn't intend to mess up, but that doesn't change the fact that everyone is dead, right? Absolutely reckless and selfish!
Exactly. If you actually want them to fly a plane to learn some stuff or something.. atleast bring the child to a simulator… not an actual plane WITH ACTUAL PEOPLE. Besides it doesnt matter if they didnt intend to mess up. It was expected. I mean, the kids dont even have any knowledge about the controls etc, let alone flying a literal plane with REAL PEOPLE
I agree..
exactly cant tell a dead man sorry he already dead
Not that surprising the Russians are like that. Just ask Ukraine.
Well what can u say about a russian
"It's not the crew's fault!" Yes it was! By allowing those children to pretend to fly that plane the crew allowed it to crash.
I was surprised that there was no audio alarm to announce when the auto-pilot was partially disengaged and eventually it would have bit someone else, so that definitely needed to be addressed. However, to simply let go and let the plane fly itself would have gone against ANY pilot in a crisis situation.
The saddest thing about this whole incident is that poor child probably died knowing he had doomed everyone on that aircraft.
Exactly. There should be two independent indicators of autopilot disengagement, dash lights and sound alert. The sound alert should be a voice saying "autopilot disengaged"
Yes, "it was not their fault" is More Face-Saving BS. Movitivated by National & Professional Pride.
@@AORD72 Totally agree, however the Pilot would have known that he "was fighting the autopilot for 30 secs" He would not have thought "it's turning by itself!"
Yes he must felt sooo guilty that becoz of him everybody died
Well "luckily" when such a young person is in deathly danger they are usually fully preoccupied with their own peril and there is not much capacity for any derivative abstract thinking about their responsiblity for someone else peril.
Obviously letting a child touch the controls during a commercial flight is insane, but it's interesting how the situation revealed so many other issues with auto pilot and alerting systems.
This is the most disgusting story in Air Crash history, while feeling so bad for the passengers I feel disgusted by the actions of the pilot being so selfish, this was a murder, murders in fact.
This would be the same as letting a 10-year sit in the driver’s seat of a car that’s on cruise control. Who in their right mind would ever be that stupid. The fact that this pilot allowed a child to sit in the captains seat of a commercial airliner while in flight is beyond reprehensible. It’s just goes against common sense in every way
I agree 110%
Atleast there are cases of that happening without fatalities
Exactly lol!?~😱😒🙄😅🤦♀️🤦💀☠
Moral of this incident: don't let anyone untrained sit and touch any part of the cockpit.
Applies everywhere not only on aircraft
Good advice
I only let the well trained touch my cockpit
True. But the pilots didn't understand what was wrong & were unable to correct it.
Moral of this incident: don't let kids inside the cockpit at all!!!
Yea, you should start your kid on the simulator, not the production run on a real plane with real passengers flying at 30K feet.

And now, their loved ones must move forth without their presence. May all who've died RIP. My belated condolences, sent to all respective families of the deceased.
The pilot killed everyone with his negligence. Unbelievable
I am cabin crew. I do a prayer in my mind before every flight take off and landing.I still can’t believe a pilot would allow a child (or anyone!) to sit in his seat and touch any controls.
I always pray before take off and before landing..
I would like to be a pilot
The real life is they also let kid to drive subway as well
I grew up in the 1980's and my father was an airline exec. I used to sit jump seat in the cockpit every once in awhile, and I was taught how to fly on a 737 simulator by the airline's chief pilot. I cannot believe he let his kid sit in the pilots seat, this is so irresponsible.
That's because you are a not an arrogant Russian.
this sounds like something that would have happened in the very earliest days of commercial aviation, the fact that it was in the 90's is mind blowing
A pilot having a little too much confidence in underdeveloped technology? Nah...90s sounds bout right lol people were more careful in the earlier days u dummy
@@ohh2752 You’re right! Most of big airplane disasters happened when technology was grown in earlier days of flying industry pilots were very careful just like a new driver fears of accidents so he drive very carefully everytime.

"I don't think that's a good idea."
You guys have excellent production quality 💯
Wow! I’ve been on island jumpers where I’ve had to sit in the copilots seat (only one pilot) because the cabin was full. In my mind I repeated, DONT TOUCH ANYTHING! I can’t believe a pilot would let his kids touch anything and that none of the other pilots objected. Worse….that the captain didn’t jump back in his seat once the issue arose.
The moment the captain’s son notified him of trouble, the captain should have gotten back in his captain seat. That portion of the mishap was the most bizarre!
Exactly and the kid would've gladly gotten out of the seat long before any gravity weighed him down. But instead he had to be screamed at by his dad over something he had no control over.
he thought it was something he can still fix
I think, he believed the auto pilot was still on, so for him it was impossible for it to bank that far. It confused him and before he can sit back the gravity pin him down already.
As it was revealed the later part of the video, the auto pilot was already partially off for a while, the moment they noticed the banking it was seconds to recovery.
@@AkoSiFrance no. It was tough love. He wanted Elder to pull the plane out of the bank , that's why he didn't return to the seat. Russia has pride of family, you don't understand
@@politicsnewsalartke7008Actually, the pilot refused to fix it, choosing instead to yell jargon at a kid in his captain seat.
A full-grown fool.
The lesson of this incident is that DONT let the kids drive your car or PLANE!!!
Your car or plane fine we don't car if you kill yourself, just not company ones with passengers... Go spoil your brats somewhere else
Especially planes full of passengers
@@kayakaziloqo7297 I know right. This whole thing is incredibly stupidity. Maybe the work had become too much routine like to the pilots so they thought that nothing can go wrong, even if the teenager is let to "experience" things a bit.
@@matthewwilson5019 unbelievable irresponsibility
Man car is fine, open area, only 3 pedals to be seen, if something happens anyone can pull the hand brake.
But this is a fu*k*ng plane, nobody should even touch the controls except the pilots.
Thanks for uploading this video ..soo good 👍
Why in the world wouldn't the pilot sit back down as soon as they realized there was a hint of a problem?
He was simply a dumb pilot and they can ultimately cause death a d destruction.
He was an idiot who was way too used to rudimentary Soviet planes and did not notice the silent warning lights, that's why. He should have known planes are not toys.
As soon as they started seeing something off .Get the damn child out the seat Asap.
nah these idiots just chose to stare at the display like zombies
He never should have been in the seat. That pilot wasn't smart
Kids shouldn't have been in the cockpit, period.
I just thought the same!!
This is scary in so many ways. How did none of the pilots realize the kid was banking the plane? It blows my mind. Didn't anybody look at the instruments? Nobody felt anything?
From what I gathered from the video, the Russian pilots flew Russian planes which would sound an alarm every time auto pilot got disengaged, this new plane however does not sound alarm - to add to the confusion only a part of the auto pilot was disengaged while everything else remained, giving an illusion auto pilot was still working fine. Essentially they had 1 minute to react to a situation they legitimately thought was impossible, think about that, try reacting to a situation you can't comprehend to even being a possibility, they checked that off as not being as issue because of the reasons stated and probably tried finding other reasons for the confusion. This all comes back to one simple thing - lack of proper training given to the pilots in this new aircraft, honestly if it wasn't them, I don't see how another crew or them wouldn't eventually get struck by tragedy if a whole company let their pilots continue flying with no knowledge of these very major changes to the aircraft. Core issue was actually lack of communication/training on the major changes, then the child being seated in my view, although of course the children being let in the seats was absurd and just sped up the road to a tragedy.
It was simply too fast to react situation. The only thing I can give to the youngest pilot was the time he managed to pull it up, he overcorrected out of panic with the result to stall the plane. There is no excuse for a pilot to stall a plane because they are trained to always keep an eye to the climb rate. There is a chance however his previous experience with Russian airplanes to often not having reliable readings from the instruments and had to rely more on vision, but I doubt that was the case.
@@epicpurevids True, it would have likely happen in the future. The boy flying was just careless but not malicious behavior.😕
Just only for 3Min...That InCiDent Happened.. SO Bad
Russians..
All to entertain a child. You know, kids don't need to be entertained everywhere they go.
Rest in peace to all of you fine men, women and children on the plane.. its amazing how deeply you can care about people you never knew or ever would have known because of something like this.. im so sad for the pilot and his family, and for all the lives in that crash. I hope you all rest well. ❤️
All in heaven except the father and son, who are burning in hell……………….
@@cadaverdog1424 Late, but I'd just like to point out that this is not the kid's fault. He was allowed in the seat by his father, a pilot. He wasn't trained to fly a plane, much less one in an emergency situation. His father willingly put him and everyone else in mortal danger.
@@cadaverdog1424 chill bro we know the actions were completely wrong but you dont gotta wish them to go to hell
I have no empathy for the pilot because he behaved so inappropriately in allowing his children to touch the controls of the plane. He didn't care about the safety of his passengers when he thought it was a "fun" idea to let his son steer the plane for a few. I do feel sorry for his wife, as he caused her to lose her entire family. I also have great compassion for the passengers who trusted in the flight crew to fly the plane, safely. He failed so many people with his really ignorant choices.
@@Annie497 Its frustrating that the co-pilot could also have saved the lifes of everyone onboard but was to distracted while speaking with the uncle
1st rule of advanced systems: The rookie always manages to generate an error message no one has ever seen before.
Lolz, yep. I kinda love that, tbh. The fact that no matter how much you plan and prepare, something new and shiny will go horribly wrong and part of me loves that for some weird reason.
@@amberkat8147 thats literally not a fact but ok weirdo
Yep. Taking an introductory computer science class at university, and they have repeated in the notes they provide us with "user dumb, you (the programmer) smart". The systems should've been designed for user error, maybe something where both pilots would need to hold buttons on their yokes for a few seconds.
Mine isn't a life threatening example of said what can go wrong will go wrong , we were at the in-laws for the weekend . My father in-law was the accountant for a small drs. Office,he had his personal/work computer at home... At night he let ME ! A very inexperienced computer person play some games on it while they turned in early , left me saying don't worry about anything, you'd never be able to mess anything up😳🙄😢 ok well I wasn't all that thrilled with my performance on the games and tried to simply shut the computer off. I woke up the next day to hear that I had messed up a whole bunch of files and that it took him several hours to get back on track...
Oh that was in the 90s and ever since I've come to realize that I am not good with technology, I've had many other incidents with computers after... Tablets and cell phones nothing , but home computers have totally messed up. Anyway, just gringed seeing the kids take the captain's seat, not so much the girl,cause she was smart and listened to her Dad, and realized that it was her dad in control. Sonny Boy however ohoh. Of course I don't blame the kid, he did what I would have done... But my dad would never have let me take the captain's seat. Sit on his lap maybe... So sad that airoplanes seem to be mass killers.
True. As a software tester, I have run into this case more times than I can remember.
"Suddenly they run out of time." Well that's one way of putting it. 😥
Totally incorrect statement. They ran out of time gradually.
The correct statement is they ran out of air

That doesn't make her losses any less painful. 💔 While yes, irresponsible actions were taken that ultimately resulted in this tragedy, she is also dealing with the public blame of her husband and son in all of this.

@@blondknight99 thats not nice dude
@@SlavicUnionGaming I didnt mean it as an insult.
Why would you ever let a child take ahold of the yoke, in the cockpit, during flight in the first place
I totally agree, especially that the aircraft is in the air, who would let a child control a plane
in a small plane where only the kid and pilot are in the plane that wouldn't be a problem but on a passenger plane i mean why would you do that
Profoundly unprofessional behavior. Even in a tiny private plane you'd still be at the wheel ready to say "let go!" at a moments notice. But to even engage in this kind of thing in a commercial flight? Unbelievable.
I can agree but the pilots did not know that fighting the ailerons would disable the autopilot. Ofc you shouldn’t let a child fly, but you can’t blame the pilots for not knowing the features of the autopilot.
IKR?
"and dont run in the first class, they will fire us" infamous last words
This has to be the saddest and most scary of these accidents.
I can't believe the pilot you've trained for thousands of hours to be able to fly this jet and you're handing all of the control and lives onboard to a 15-year-old boy with no minute's flying
The fact that his own family will be in danger as soon as he made that stupid idea..
The pilot thought that the autopilot was still in control of the plane. Don’t forget that they were being pushed back in their seats and couldn’t move . He shouldn’t have had his kids in there yes but they didn’t touch the controls.
45:50 "All they had to do was let go"
As tragic and infuriating this story gets, THAT is the part that always breaks me
Same here. I always think of that part. Sometimes it is just better to let go.
Exactly. The auto-pilot will fly the plane. That's what it's designed to do. You can only fly the plane manually if you switch it off completely. Either, or.

Any deviation from normal operating procedures, no matter how seemingly insignificant can have catostrophic consequences. It seemed innocent enough, needless deaths and sorrows!
this is outrageous, imagine your one of the passengers on that plane and you knew about this, just mindblowing.
Or a family member who died due to such incredible negligence.
"If you turn it to the left, where will the plane go?"
"Down."
Omg for real 😳
Pilot was beyond stupid. This makes me angry.
good job eldar

This was definitely the most infuriating one of these I've seen so far, completely avoidable
Watch the video of Air France flight 447. That one was just as bad.
If your 15 years old, you can't even have your driver's licence let alone flying an aircraft.
Youll be surprised. In Australia you can go for your licence at 15-16 years old (my first flight was at 16). Although when you're 15 years old there's no way in hell would you ever be let to fly a commercial jet.
I had my license at 15.5 back in 2003. Granted you can’t have passengers until 6 months after your license is issued.
Ohio 15 1/2
One single sentence gives me great concern:. "pilots are now OFFERED special training...". Does that mean this training is NOT mandatory?!?!
This crash in particular is the saddest , most avoidable and awfull
I can’t with this lack of blame. Great they now know the autopilot can partially disconnect. Back to the main point, had those kids not been in the cockpit, DRIVING, this wouldn’t have happened. They literally said the 15 year old threw it out of autopilot. This was 100% the cockpit crews fault. There’s no way around it.

And then they buried the idiot pilot in a “hero’s grave” meanwhile 22 people who lost their lives because of him were cremated in a mass cremation. How disrespectful to the families of the people that his irresponsible actions killed.
@Ryan Lantz - If I were living over there I'd probably take a sledge hammer to the heroes tombstone.
By doing so the Russians are just trying to downplay the Captain's responsibility in the doom of the plane.
This is why children are never allowed in the workplace. Period!
Just the thought of what everyone on that plane went through during those last moments is terrifying.
It seems that from all these clowns the most qualified pilot was his daughter.
LMAO
You have no idea just how true this is.
Exactly. Watching this actually made me every upset. SMH
😂 💦 💦 💦 truth
Here in my place the bus driver once allowed a passenger girl to drive the bus, the next day it came in the newspaper that other passengers sued the driver and the bus owner.
Sad story. I wish he didn't allow the kids in the cockpit.
RIP 75 souls. Unbelievably reckless. 2 pilots in the cockpit. 15 year-old in the captains seat for 3 minutes. Neither pilot watching him or ready to take control. Didn't see aileron autopilot light.
What astonishes me the most is the flagrant disregard on the part of the flight crew of the most fundamental aviation principles drilled into pilots from day one: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. The fact that these pilots were focusing on the “holding pattern” while the aircraft was banking beyond its design limitations is just unpardonable. They failed to aviate.
If you dropped Eldar into any high school circa 1975 he'd go completely unnoticed with his look and fashion, especially his haircut
I am proud of the investigators wanted all answers and not just stopping at the boy. This will improve the training which prevents more crashes. They are my heroes. I'm so sorry for all the lost souls aboard that lane and have special prayers for the families.
It's interesting how Mayday portrayed this accident. They didn't go for scolding the captain, like most people would've. They focused on the tragedy, the shock, and looking for why the captain believed that he would be fine even if his kids accidentally did something. Far more sympathy is given than usual.
@@OwlRTA They likely saw it from his perspective, you've got three highly trained pilots around the kids. A state of the art plane that has the tech to at least make them think their flying the plane, I can see why he got cocky and I'm sure they could too. However at the end of the day it should never have happened, but they also did'nt stop at the kids and looked at every fact.
The pilot should have never allowed him to even touch the controls
Yeah , I KNOW
Thanks captain obvious
@@thomasdavies2218 no problem captain comidian ......jk
He could have let them up front while the plane was on the ground, but oh no...
@@ivantheteribul
Just want to finish your comment with a twist.
…have the boy in the cockpit when the plane was on the ground instead. Then the boy attempted to lift off the runway and fail. Final Destination.
One of the most irresponsible things I’ve witnessed or heard of in my 37 year career.
It’s sad how infuriating it is knowing that this was avoidable.
All he had to do is let go..
I understand that there were other factors that led to the plane going down, but literally the reason it went down is because the son drove the plane. They said themselves that the son is the one who accidentally turned off auto pilot without anyone knowing, and so he was quite literally driving the plane and making it turn. I understand that when it's a high stress situation you're not thinking clearly but maybe people who Are in risky positions you have to think clearly under stress because it was so obvious that it was the son who was turning the plane. Hes turning the plane, and it's moving in the direction hes turning it they should have realized oh hes actually driving it despite auto pilot still being on. Dad should have immediately taken over. If the parent was in the seat the entire time, even if he accidentally turned off auto pilot himself, he would have been able to correct it because he knows how to drive a plane. The son - a literal child - doesn't even know how to drive a car let alone a plane, so he should never be in a position to steer any moving vehicle. So, at the end of the day, as sad as it is, it really is the dad's fault that this happened. I'm not even anything close to a pilot but as soon as it started turning I said to myself "the son must have done something or hes doing something without realizing it" because that's what common sense tells you. The father should have thought the same and immediately taken over, but instead, he said it must be turning "on its own". Why would he think it's on his own if your son is turning it and then it's turning the direction he's turning it? Then what makes you think it's on his own? And why would it suddenly turn on its own? He didn't think quickly enough because he was too confident and comfortable. This was not a freak accident. This was negligence
The irony is that if the boy and copilot just get their hands off from the control column at almost any time of the trouble, they survive...
The autopilot would have stabilized at a correct cruise altitude.
