A Tragic Accident Onboard Flight 593 | Kid In The Cockpit | FULL EPISODE | Mayday: Air Disaster

- In the cockpit, onboard Russian International Airlines flight 593, was a very experienced flight crew. The captain’s children were also on board and shortly after takeoff, he invited them into the cockpit. This triggered a series of disastrous events and sadly a tragic accident.
Do you believe that the child was entirely to blame for this air disaster?
Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 3 Episode 10 "Kid In The Cockpit": On March 23, 1994, Russian International Airlines Flight 593 left Moscow’s Airport to Hong Kong. The aircraft was the pride of the Russian fleet, a fully automated Airbus, newly arrived from France.
The captain and co-pilot had the plane running on autopilot when they invited the teenagers to take turns “flying” the state-of-the-art aircraft. First, the captain’s daughter took the control column and then his son. Soon after the son sat down, the plane began banking steeply - even though the autopilot was still on. While the crew struggled desperately to figure out what was wrong, the situation went from bad to worse.
The plane began turning more and more steeply, sharply increasing the G-forces throughout the jet. Then started falling from the sky in a wild corkscrew spin. The son was trapped in the pilot’s position.
Eventually, the captain managed to get back into his seat but it was too late. While he pulled the plane out of its spin, it had fallen too far, and crashed into the snowy mountains of Siberia. Everyone on board was killed.

Do you believe that the child was entirely to blame for this air disaster?
He had No blame at all.
Absolutely not.
yep 100% should be in jail
No. Thr adults who should have been piloting the plane ste to blame
No. The FO should have been watching the instruments.
How sad that they let a kid play around in the cockpit. The airline is a business and the passengers do not deserve such carelessness.
I can't believe that was quite common those days to invite people into a dynamic plane's cockpit let alone the captain seat..that is beyond carelessness
@@KhushiSingh-xx8zr the only time I see it slightly okay is when the plane is properly stopped and no one is aboard the plane other than a pilot
But then again thats my opinion
Your life is in their hands the moment you step on to the aircraft.
How sad though, they surely paid the ultimate price. I have no doubt that the pilot didn't have any intention on hurting anyone. & the young man had no clue what he was doing with the controls. R. I. P. To everyone involved 🙏 💚
@Llamp99* yet the kids are never in the cockpit without the permission of the idiot father.
The captain is the one to blame for this accident, not the kid. This is just heartbreaking, such a preventable accident
Yes the kid was trying to learn that is all.
@@andrezcolon6353 yeah because I see so many other comments that are blaming the kid for the cost of the accident and I'm like they're just kids they didn't know any better the pilots should have known a lot better. The pilots had years of experience so they should be very aware of when they put kids in the cockpit so this right here was just a recipe for disaster. May everyone who died in that plane crash rest in peace
@@josephmendoza9523 he was a teen - not a kid.
@@AshishGupta-mh3hn yes I'm aware he was a teen but in my eyes he was a kid. He wasn't even 18 so if you would have been 18 then okay he wouldn't have been a kid anymore
@@josephmendoza9523 its not about being 16 or 18. it is about a quick decision he could have made by moving out of the seat right away. it is the missing presence of mind, which played an equal role in costing the lives on board. I am not fully blaming the teen. but he plays a big role
No matter how many times I hear this story, it never ceases to piss me off how pointless these deaths were.
@@veroe2407 it was a flaw in the system the autopilot never should have partly disengaged with no alert or signal to indicate it happened
@@rispil7086 There was no alarm when the kid, Eldar partially disengaged the auto pilot, but a light came on indicating to the flight crew it was disengaged.
And the captain should have taken control back the INSTANT he was told the plane was turning. No judgment, though. I wasn't in that situation. My heart breaks for everyone affected. 😢
@@rispil7086 It wasn't the flaw. Ability to partially disengagement has its reasons and there WAS the light signal which the pilots should see if they do their job and sit in their places. Airbus constructors probably didn't imagine that Russian pilots would allow 15 year old kids to play with their planes while they chill in the background.
@@goforthjr He had let the kid sit there with his hands all over the controls for 4-minutes. Not a few seconds. FOUR freaking minutes. That's insane and negligent. When the plane went out of control, the kid was pinned into the seat with the rest of them having to watch from behind, so there was no mistake that putting the kid there had killed them too. The captain at least realized the idiocy of his own actions.
Sad to believe that this is one of the most preventable accidents that happened.
Russians got money, new toys, mad!
Not only here, everywhere this was a weird time in RU, bad regulations, money enough
Yes! This and tenerife
Every accident is preventable. Remove just one link from the chain, and you don't have the accident.
@@Studio732JRL Not really. There are accidents that happen due to natural factors, I wouldn't call them preventable...
@@potocatepetl Yeah, no. No. Sorry, pal. Yes "really". Even disasters that happen primarily due to natural causes still have multiple different factors that impact the sequence of events. And those factors include decisions made and actions taken by humans. For example, if a storm is the primary reason for an accident, you still have pilots and ATC, ground crews making decisions such as whether to fly through or go around, whether to take off/ land or not, whether to divert, whether to cancel or delay a flight, etc. etc. etc. You know how to prevent a plane crash resulting from natural causes, ie. Bad weather? Go around it.
Believe it or not, the world really isn't as simple as you apparently think it is.
I can't imagine what the wife of the pilot is feeling, knowing her husband's carelessness caused her to lose her family.
Whoever is responsible for teaching and training the pilots is responsible.
@@johnlove6194not at all the pilot was just an idiot. a true darwin award winner.

@@oxymrn7038😂😂😂
@@johnlove6194That makes absolutely no sense. That would be like saying you blame the school teacher of someone who becomes a criminal. Who decided to let a teenager fly an airplane? 🤔
Airplanes are not toys. RIP to all on board.
The minute they noticed the plane turning when it wasn't supposed to, the capt needed to take his place at the chair again. Period
The sheer Horror the Passengers went through is just chilling.
What was most frustrating to me as I watched was the pilot not getting back on his seat right away at the first mention of a snag. I think that should have been the immediate reflex. Watching him remain upstanding until it had become impossible for the better part of the catastrophic confusion was the most incomprehensible thing for me!!
I’m not sure he could because of the G-forces
@@alexsosa5727 Are ya kidding me!
I absolutely agree.
Nina Yes indeed he did have time to get back into his seat if he would have acted right away....
in hindsight we can easily say that....if you were in the cockpit and you watched the pilot, an expert, flicking a button and saying it was all good, you would accept that
This wasn't a video game. This was an airplane full of innocent people who lost their lives because of the stupidity of the captain.
@TruthIsPower
Any thinking person would NOT allow their 15 y/o to FLY the plane! The captain's an idiot. They don't pass out brains when you have kids.
His kids were clearly brats who never heard the word "NO!" Who needs to be told to NOT allow their brats to FLY the airplane or allow them in the cockpit after the plane starts taking off!
Now all these people are DEAD!
The pilots are flying a plane that has new features, but were not made aware of, and not given training on it.
The kid happened to trigger the partial disengaging of the autopilot. But due to lack of knowledge of the pilots, it leads to confusion, and later to the crash.
It’s absolutely correct that it’s the Captain’s fault. He had no business letting a child sit in his seat and touch the instruments while the plane was in flight and full of passengers. Period. He compounded his mistake by not monitoring the status of the plane while his son was playing with the instruments. The emergency would not have happened if he had not foolishly done this.
Would you allow your children who are 9 years old to drive your car on a highway.
@@HappySharksAre you saying you need training or a manual to tell you not to let a teenager fly an airplane? Some things are a given and this is one of them
The fact that all they had to do was “let go,” it’s devastatingly ironic for all of the victims, but sort of a poetically philosophical parable for us.
I already saw this episode not watching it again. Nobody other than the pilots should be allowed in the cockpit plain and simple. You want to show your kid he sits in the jump seat if the cockpit has one or stands behind. Better yet, bring him on your training days and let him use one of the pilot simulators.
Riveting.
And nowadays they could get Microsoft Flight Simulator for a little over $100.
The pilot sim is so not the same but is equally as cool
Q: "Why is it turning?"
A: GET OUT OF THE PILOT'S SEAT RIGHT NOW!!!
🤦♂️
Thinking exactly the same thing, he should have taken control IMMEDIATELY
Imagine trying to make sense of this crash without the cockpit voice recorder...it would've been truly baffling
If you want to teach your kid to fly, that’s what flight simulators are for.
To be fair, those didn't really exist in an affordable form back then. HOWEVER! That doesn't excuse the captains stupidity of putting innocent lives at risk just to make his kid happy.
Remember, this was in 1994
@@abdulsami7737 Yes it did, the first flight simulator (digital) was made in 1982. An actual full scale flight simulator was made in the 1970's but was considered a "gimmick" by many in the flight industry up until 1993. Its why I mentioned that they weren't very affordable.

@@draco2xx Seriously, you have a problem, because that's NOT the point. That anyone would have to say that to you is really disturbing.

this is the most anxiety-inducing recreation of one of these i've seen, jesus
also that other mom showed a lot of grace leaving it at "i don't believe kids should be in the cockpit"
Unbelievable. How a pilot could put a kid in the drivers seat is beyond me. Even though they found other reasons which seem to try soften the blow, it is unacceptable. Not the kids fault at all, they should have never been put there. It was pilot error, it was the fathers fault. Pride cometh before a fall. Literally.
And boi did they fall.
The pilots are paying NO attention whatsoever, and there is a teenager flying the plane.
What could possibly go wrong?
He paid the ultimate price for his stupidity, along with the many lives he took and families he destroyed by his irresponsible actions!
It is the fault of the people responsible for training and familiarization of the new features in the autopilot.
WAIT....This was Horrible but it DID end up saving COUNTLESS MORE LIVES knowing the Flaws on this plane !!!!
@@ginnysnyder9703 I was thinking along that line too. It is also mentioned in the video that "in 1994 there are a series of crashes . . . "
We should stop blaming the dead, and let them rest in peace.
Not a training issue. They had kids in the seat of an aircraft who have no business being at the controls. Would you allow your young kids to drive your car on a highway without any training.
@@007donj I would say it is a familiarization issue.
Yes, it is wrong to put a child in the seat of an aircraft. But that kind of accident is bound to happen because the plane has features that pilots have to be familiar with.
It is tantamount to letting a driver of a automatic transmission car drive a manual transmission car.
All those poor families who suffered such loss! But the wife who lost her husband and children…how she must suffer with such mixed pain for the loss of her family but also for the guilt that it was her husbands mistake for allowing the children into his chair as captain and also her children’s involvement. That poor precious woman…she must feel the weight of the loss of every deceased person from that flight! May God grant her Peace and peace to every family member who lost loved ones!
When the boy told his father that aircraft is turning right initially and i think at that point he must have taken control of that aircraft and sat on his seat and i think the situation would be completely different.He instead let the boy to fly the plane waste previous seconds
Uh oh. I see the momma giving an interview and talking on behalf of her husband and children....
NEVER a good sign when watching mayday. Thank goodness for this show otherwise we would never have heard anything about almost 90% of these accidents. May the victims and their families all find peace but I think I speak for us all when I say WE don't watch their stories unfold without the upmost respect. God bless them all .
The captain is absolutely to blame 100%. hundreds of lives depended on the captain and he did the most irresponsible thing he could do, putting a child at the controls.
Its also important to point out that the lack of training to realize that you can accidently disconnect the autopilot with no warning shouldnt be overlooked.
that's not even training that's a major design flaw
Well, it's for damn sure the kid didn't have enough training!🙄
@@tracy7612 Even the pilots were not aware about it.
There was a warning. There was a red light illuminated, but the pilot was too busy showing off at the expense of 100 lives. Had he been in his seat, he’d have noticed.
It's a lethal engineering flaw. This WAS going to happen sooner or later, that kind of interface failure is a ticking time bomb.
Very irresponsible pilot. He killed all of them!
God killed them.
When "Bring Your Kid to Work Day" goes horribly wrong.
Russian style..
Bring your kid to work day is fine as long as they don't start doing your work
I was speechless to I just don't understand why this crazy pilot let's his kids fly the plane
The relief Captain, Kurdrinksky, or however you spell it, didn't actually let his son Eldar fly the plane. He made the mistake of letting his children sit in the pilot's seat, and put their hands on the control yoke. When Eldar was sitting in the pilot's seat, when he had his hands on the yoke, he tried turning it, and partially disengaged the auto pilot. They apparently weren't aware of this. The pilots couldn't figure out the problem of why the plane went into a bank, thinking the auto pilot was fully engaged. Of course, he never should've let them sit in the pilot's seat to begin with.

I hate flying and never do it now. But in the old days I remember how people were pretty free to come and go from the cockpit.
I didn’t really think at that time about why but it really bothered.
I was quite young so I put it down to my fear of flying. Until much later of course…..
This accident is right up there with Air France's flight 447. So easily avoidable, yet the consequences were deadly.
I was thinking the same thing. All the First officer Had to do was let go of his side stick and the planes automatic self-preservation system would’ve kicked in.

I just watched this on Mentour Pilot and was glad that I found it here on Mayday. Even though the story is told very well with all of the technical details on Mentour. Mayday always gives a good reenactment of the events as they happened. Watching this story unfold I am in absolute shock that the captain on board not only invited his children into the cockpit but he let them sit in the captains seat with their inexperienced hands on the controls! Never mind the helpless souls aboard that flight, he wants to let his children play! Unbelievable!
I love watching Mentour for the technical info too!
Mayday is good for the reenactment as a first exposure, then watching mentour afterwards gives you better technical insight and more fleshed out explanations into exactly what happened.
allowing his son to get a "feel of his job" mid air was just extreme. So many lives lost and families heartbroken!
Welcome to Russia.
I could see letting the kids come up to see the cockpit but you never EVER allow a child access to the flight controls!!
You'd think it would be common sense to not allow a kid to sit in the pilot's seat, and put his hands on the control yoke.
From the moment his son voiced his concern about the control, he should have gotten back in his seat doing what he was being paid for 😤
Mentour Pilot just did this one too - pretty amazing that this could happen. Why would they not immediately get the kid out of the seat as soon as there was any kind of anomaly? There was enough time before the G's kicked in.
Just overconfident arrogant pilot killed the passengers.
@@ranapratapsingh3416 Can't blame the child, the pilots are 100% to blame. He should never have been in that seat, ever.
@@pdog547 The kid should have gotten out of the seat the moment they sensed the danger. Unfortunately the kid is still sitting in the seat and watching the killing of all the passengers.
@@ranapratapsingh3416 he’s too young to understand that kind of thing.
@@mimikyu__- The pilot is an idiot to all the kid in the cockpit of such a sophisticated machine
One major aspect of the incident that I think was sorely missed by this portrayal is that the first officer had major difficulties trying to regain control because he had extended and reclined his seat so far back he could barely reach the controls. He'd configured it this way when he gave control over the the other pilot to relax, as in normal circumstances he'd have a reasonable time frame to readjust his seat if he needed to take back control. When the plane suddenly entered the spiral, adjusting his seat became nearly impossible when he was the only certified person with hands on the column and trying to wrangle the aircraft back into stability.
God bless powered seat adjusters :)
@@savithagopi8479ehh the motors will experience the same G force and won’t move
Pilot usually forget, when passengers board your plane, they put their life at your hand. Please don't take that for granted
That is why they have to have that many of flying experience. A kid does qualify.
Put the blame to the father. They failed, so it turned into a warning that never let anyone who doesn't have any knowledge to fly sit on the pilot''s seat and let him fly the plane. The worst move he ever did
If anybody has you sit in the pilot seat, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING.
@@greggstrasser5791the boy could have saved the plane
It wasn’t the kid’s fault but if the dad pilot never let the kids enter the cockpit, none of this would have happened.
Nothing would have happened had the kids stayed out of the cockpit. Period.
Nothing would have happened if the autopilot gave a warning when it partially disconnected. Period.
Nothing would have happened if g forces didn't pin everyone down. Period.
Nothing would have happened if Eldar didn't turn as forcefully. Period.
You can't pin the blame of an accident on a single thing, except in extremely unusual circumstances, which this was not one of.
Nothing would have happened if the FO was watching the plane.

This was before 9.11. Afterwards this kind of thing was not allowed.
Umm,, the pilot dad, nor his kid had anything to do w the plane crashing.. it was the co pilot who stalled the plane after they got the kid off of the flight controls, that led to them running out of airspace, which led to the crash
@@knosismercury It's a chain of events that lead to aviation accidents. This has been shown time after time after investigations have been conducted and concluded. If the Dad, the Capt wouldn't have allowed his children into the cockpit, and allowed his son to sit in the pilots seat, with his hands on the controls, this would've never happened. This is just one aspect of this crash that one could argue that was a catalyst that lead up to this accident. 😳
Yana was the only one directly involved in this situation with any sense at all of the gravity of being near the controls of the plane-- too bad her wariness proved to be warranted ):
Yeah, incredible she had more sense than the Captain and her older brother in that situation. I believe if she would've been older, say up in her late teens or 20s, she would've warned her Dad not to do this.
I can only imagine how the pilots wife's goes through.the "what ifs"if only the kids never went with their father on that trip.
That would have made all the difference in prevention
As a child in the 80s, I was often allowed to go into the cockpit during the many flights I took with my parents. I of course was never allowed to sit in the pilot's seat.

He left that child in that seat like he was a dam pilot
The dad should have taken over and got back in the pilot seat as soon as the son asked why the plane was turning. He just continued to look on while the son remained in the pilots seat.
@freda jordan: The first officer failed 3 times:
1) He failed to monitor the flight instruments to see if the plane is deviating from plan.
2) He got the plane out of its corkscrew dive by countering the turn and pulling up, but he then committed a novice error by maintaining the climb long enough to stall the plane so it fell out of the sky. (Reminds me of Air France 447.)
3) He still could've recovered, but he lost situational awareness and got to the point of it being unrecoverable. He could've dropped down the nose to gain speed and control, level off to stabilize the stall recovery, and then climb at a proper rate.
Bonus: Had he had known, he could've released the controls to let the flight systems save the plane from crashing.
Trying to downplay the captain's culpability in this "accident" is pretty gross.
When the plane banks that steeply, the pilot's most urgent priority is to level the plane. Why the heck do they spend 9 precious seconds looking at the plane heading?
DONT LET CHILDREN FLY A COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE!!!
Unbelievable this must be stated, yet here we are.
Thank you. I have seen this before, but NOW. TODAY I understand more details of this accident. Somehow this retelling was clearer and sharper than before. Thank you
I’d be very upset to find out the pilot is letting his kids play with the plane in the AIR
Captain is solely responsible for this tragic accident. How could he allow his anxiously excited childrens to handle the controls which is very unprofessional. Being piloting passenger's plane he should hv been cautious about undesired eventuality. I guess his confidence as veteran pilot got the better if him. What a sad chain of events.
The pilot was definitely responsible for letting his children in the cockpit and then letting his son actually try to,fly it. But then the Russians tried,to,blame a non-Russian built plane for the accident. Typical of the Russian government blaming other country’s products - as if Russian-built things are perfect. Remember their first rockets, their cars and their airplanes - always problems and shoddy work. Plus the pilots didn’t have the basics of training in this new plane. The people who run the country just are not able to ever admit their mistakes.
Oh why don't you shut up. BTW, their space transportation system has a better overall safety record than ours.
Same like the Tupolev TU-144 the Soviet Supersonic Concorde that crashed
Captain should’ve said to leave the control and let first officer handle the control. Why would a parent let their kid handle? That’s stupidity.
Comments say: The boy is not at fault. Reality of it is: If the captain had not had his kids in the cockpit behind the wheel, there would not have been any bad situation. The fault lies in the captain allowing the boy to sit behind the wheel with all those people's lives at stake. Bottom line: had the boy never been allowed to put his hands on the wheel, there would have been no problems during the flight.
Perfectly said.
cs So very true.
@Christina Jackson: Not perfect. The "wheel" is known as the yoke.
I know that boy was learning how to fly. It was the captain what cause the crash. Yes because it would have been easier if the kids were not in the controls.
@@andrezcolon6353: No, the kid wasn't learning to fly. He was allowed to play with the yoke, and the cockpit crew assumed that the autopilot is going to ignore his inputs to the yoke. They didn't know that the autopilot can disengage partially and actually turn the plane.
[After the autopilot allowed the the turn, the kid kept it in a turn until it lost lift, and rolled over into a dive. The crew didn't tell the kid to release his hold on the yoke, so he held it in the turning dive; that input conflicted with the co-pilot's inputs when he finally could grab his own yoke. Thus, the crew failed again to establish control of the plane, allowing the kid to nullify the co-pilot's actions.
When the co-pilot recovered from the dive, he messed up by pitching the plane up in a steep climb until it stalled, and fell from the sky again. This time, they were too low to recover.
The crew didn't fully understand how key parts of the plane behave, and made a series of errors that crashed the plane. When the plane initially fell from the sky, all they had to do was have the kid release his hold of the yoke, and then re-engage the autopilot. The plane would've recovered by itself.]
This right here from the very beginning was just a recipe for a disaster may they all rest in peace
I've mentioned in another video how irresponsible it was to have his kid sit at the controls while the pilot was distracted. What's worse is you'd think the second it was turning he'd say, "Okay yeah Eldar get out of my seat now let me check this out." But he doesn't. And then it's too late and Eldar can't anymore.
Just plain stupidity. He had so many chances to save the plane and he blew though them all.
There's the fact that the copilot nearly recovered the plane, but messed up. He got the plane out of the turning dive, and pulled up to gain altitude, but he committed a novice error of pulling up too sharply for too long that the plane stalled and fell from the sky. When he got out of the dive, he should've climbed at the proper rate. When he loss climb speed, he should've decreased his climb angle. When he stalled the plane, he should've put the nose down to gain speed, level off, and then climb. He also could've let the plane recover by releasing the yoke. He had opportunities to save everyone, but failed.

You dont let a kid fly an aircraft just as you wont let a kid drive a car
He wasn’t flying the aircraft. It was on autopilot.
Duh.
@@greggstrasser5791 Yet provided enough input to override autopilot's bank control. It's essentially a hybrid of manual flight and autopilot.
@@dbclass4075
Ya... sounds kinda odd.
donmrLenn i went in a red arrow and they let me hold the controls i was 11
They did say he was 15...so not the best metaphor. Plenty of 15 year olds drive with a permit (supervised). But you have credentials: this is more like...letting a kid fly a damn jet plane. No comparison needed...it speaks for itself.
All that those poor people had to endure because the capt had to show his kids how to fly 😠
Umm.. technically, it was the co pilot stalling the plane after they got the kid off of the flight controls, that led to them crashing 😉
@@knosismercury wrong, the pilots leveled off after the stall. They crashed because of the steep dive ultimately caused by the boy. 🙄
@@jamesshepherd5805 umm, i guess u watched a different vid.. cos after the 1st dive,, & before the 1st captain took back controls from his kid.. the co pilot pulled the nose of the plane way too high @20:15 & @43:45, which is what stalled them for a 2nd time,, & which is what led to them crashing, after not having enough airspace to level out.. so again,, the co pilot is the reason they crashed 😉
This is why I'll never again climb aboard one of these things, how could a pilot be so damn irrisponsible as this?
Yeah, it's mind boggling. One thing lead to another, then the plane ends up crashing.
AWESOME choice there, captain.
“Dad, can I fly the plane?”
“Sure son…… in flight school.”
There, tragedy avoided. But no…… let’s put several lives in the hands of a kid!!!
Or, I’ll buy you Flight Simulator when we get home!
@@kevindavis8175 Even better.
Not quite. The plane was in autopilot, the pilot didn't think the kid had any actual control.
Flight simulator didnt exist back then.
@@ToyotaTacomaV6 The first edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator was released in 1982.
It's heart breaking.
I'm really sad for everyone there incuding the captain.
They show Eldar holding the yoke. An Airbus A310 doesn’t have a yoke…it has a side stick. Which actually raises a slight design flaw on the Airbus. On a side stick you’d be less likely to notice Eldar applying force to the left. On a traditional yoke (Boeing etc.) it’s centered and would be obvious.
Not putting Airbus down, but the side stick does have its limitations. The Air France crash is another example.
This plane crash could have been prevented if the pilot kids wasn’t on the control column ✈️💥😡
This is not playing
I so agreee with that. I would've had him fly a simulated plane. Not a real one. I blame the kid and his pilots.
The FO should have been watching the instruments.
This happens every day.
First time my uncle took me up in his 172, he let me fly & I low-key would pull back to go higher. He kept an eye on the altimeter.
@@greggstrasser5791 Once the pilot noticed the first sign of trouble, he should've taken over the controls, not the kid. I would not have put a 15 year old kid through that. I can't even imagine the terror and the horror he must've been enduring. I'm just speechless right now.
Having the kid at the control column was irresponsible, but not catastrophic. The main problems were neither pilot focusing on the adi, and the plane having no indication of a partial autopilot disconnection.
This is giving me trust issues on a whole different level. So shocking someone who so many people trust with their lives can basically betray them so casually.
Regardless of the situation there, it should not have been possible to partially disengage autopilot like that. This accident was bound to happen sooner or later with a tired pilot or a pilot that got up from his seat the wrong way. The plane's engineering is 100% at fault here.
People sometimes do not take things seriously when they do a task too often. Car drivers are also supposed to focus on the road and surrounding all the time since there are lives at risk. Careless accidents happens frequently everywhere
How can it give you trust issues? You could not trust Russians then, and nothing has changed.
The airline didn't find out they hired a captain with the brain of a 5 year old until it was too late.
This makes me sick to my stomach.
I still don't understand why you had your child at the controls
👁👁. What year did this occur⁉️ Sounds like simple dense Russians monitoring the play yard. At lease they are buried together...
@@diannedearriel5213 It happened in 1998.
It happened in 1994
This is so disturbing 😢
This is the most despicable story in all of the airplane documentaries and I have seen alot of them. To allow a kid to not only sit in the pilot's seat but to manipulate the controls is reprehensible. How arrogant of that father to have risked the lives of everyone onboard. Had they gotten that kid out of the pilot's seat before the g forces kicked in the outcome could have been different.
To be fair, the dad thought the autopilot was on and had no knowledge that it could partially disengage and neither of the crew knew that the system would not warn them.
It was still irresponsible, though. Not arrogant, though, IMO.
Is it the g forces the reason they could not take the seat back from the young Eldar.
All they had to do is have the kid release his hold on the yoke so the autopilot would regain control. Instead, they let him keep pulling on the yoke for a turn, which caused it to nose over into a dive. In his panic, he kept the plane in a corkscrew down to the ground.
Yes on the one hand you can say that but on the other, the pilot paid for that "arrogance" with his life.....and yes the lives of other people....but I think his own death is about as much as he can pay
@@myfairlahey5738: He paid for his big mistake by killing himself, his kids, and his friends and colleagues.
The kids should of never been in that seat. Poor decision by pilot to let kid in pilot seat
Its not a game on a computor! No kids should be in the cockpit never!
Bad idea to have kids in a cockpit, it's not a playground...how sad...
Thanks for uploading the Old episodes of Aircrash investigation ❤️❤️
I hope Eldar and Yana were able to hold and comfort each other in their final moments like the show depicts. I can’t imagine the terror and guilt Eldar felt in his last moments on earth, thinking he was to blame.
Because he literally was 🙃
@@sneksteppy it was his father and the other pilots who were at fault here.. they should’ve never allowed the children into the cockpit during the flight, let alone use the controls. They’re the ones with the responsibility and duty of care to the passengers.
Boy it is okay you are not to blame. It is the captain's fault after all
@@rebeccamace1534his father told him to bank left …. But he froze …. Trust me I have been this teenager so confident when I convinced my dad to let me try driving in like a park ….. I speed and froze thankfully my dad was able to slam the breaks ….. sometimes kids have too much enthusiasm
@@luisfernando5998 true, but why didn’t they let the children see the cockpit before take off with no passengers? For me it’s the fact that this happened during a commercial flight with passengers on board if that makes sense ? I can relate to your driving experience, I remembered I was driving round a carpark/parking. It was empty. I panicked and put my foot on the accelerator and not the brake 😂😂 luckily my dad put the hand brake on in seconds lol
This is especially sad.... it's something I believe many parents would do, to show their off spring their proud career. So unfortunate....
Heartbreaking that the pilots kids lost their life at a young age 😞
Are you for real? Who cares? They are murderers.
I hope pilots these days know we trust our lives to them.
You don't fly much with Ryan Air, do you...
@@AB-80X no, just with Spirit
I don’t see a problem with him letting his kids peek in the cockpit, but he shouldn’t have let them sit in the seats or touch anything. That was extremely reckless.
Superb voice, superb narration!!!! More, please.
Kids never ever in play on jet plane on cockpit
Its sad to think the engineers are smart enough to design something as complex as an areoplane but dumb enough to forget an alarm on partial Auto pilot dissconnect .
May they RIP Condolences to all the families who has lost Loved Ones.See them in The Paradise to Come❤🥰⏰
Being a former flight attendant I can say that there is a rule that while captaine needs to go to WC a cabin crew member gets in the cockpit till he returns, for security. When I sat on the captain seat I never touch anything. In this accident another fatal mistake is when the child noticed the plaine is turning, noone told him to leave that seat for the captain to handle the situation. Instead they gave instructions the kid to rule the plane. Chain of fatal mistakes, I cant believe how come they underestimate the importance of that moment...
Children in the cockpit? How dangerous is that.Three pilots couldn't prevent this avoidable accident? That itself is puzzling. Were they all in their senses?
Why was this family buried in a a special burning ground when they were the cause of a lot of people's lives what a slap in the face of all the passenger . My work had a special day for children to visit the workplace under special people doing the tour . Father had no right putting all the other passengers lives at risk.
They had a brand new plane which had controls setup differently than other planes in their fleet. No one but the manufacturer knew that the auto pilot controls could be partially disabled. So, no one knew the right action to take to get back to normal flight.
I love how they all look on the horizon without doing anything and waiting i don't know what.
When the autopilot started to keep the turn going it should have been shut off and manually flown back to level. Then you can turn the autopilot back on and reset it!!!
Soon as those kids went back there I would have complained to the stewardess.
They didn't know the kids are there probably
this gave me anxiety through the roof!
How can you not know your altitude and position at all times no matter what with that much experience?? May all those innocent passengers rest in peace
It's a fact in aviation, that when professional pilots, and even pilots in general, gain a certain amount of experience, alot of hours, they become more lax. I believe these pilots just let their guard down, thinking everything was OK because the plane was on auto pilot and due to their experience.
This accident is so crazy it hurts!!! 🤔
Sad about this and no survivors
