Published 2022-03-26
Aeroflot Flight 593 was a regular passenger flight from Sheremetyevo International Airport, Moscow, Russia, to Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. On 23 March 1994, the aircraft operating the route, an Airbus A310-304 flown by Aeroflot, crashed into the Kuznetsk Alatau mountain range in Kemerovo Oblast, killing all 63 passengers and 12 crew members on board. The investigators found, to their horror, that the children of the pilot was present in the cockpit when the aircraft crashed.
In this video I will tell you the full story about what happened.

Imagine being a surgeon and letting your child give it a go in a life saving operation…
-
It's worth to mention, the company along with authorities denied the children were in cocpit until the transcript leaked to media a half year later.
-
it's kinda unbelievable how even when things got dangerous , he is still standing behind his son and giving him commands..
-
My dad once told me his story where he was a little boy on an aircraft (that was in soviet union) and before the flight started the door to the cockpit was open. He curiously looked inside and pilot noticed it and invited him inside. My dad spend the whole flight inside and even seated on the pilots laps with his hands on the yoke. I felt that it is such a wholesome story but now i realise how dangerous this was.
-
Imagine how the pilot's wife felt after learning that she lost her entire family due to dad's foolish actions.
-
I don't allow my kid to touch my car controls and here we have a pilot letting them fly plane. Insane.
-
imagine being the loved one of a passenger on that plane and hearing that they died because a child was controlling the plane.. and also learning that there were multiple adults in the cockpit that could've easily prevented this from happening. this also just goes to show how quickly things can go south, seeing that this all happened in just over three minutes
-
This is unbelievable. Not only the dumbest decision ever made in a cockpit by letting children control the plane, but also the pilots completely failing at their emergency reaction despite having miraculously many opportunities the brave plane gave them to save the situation.
-
Even the autopilot was confused about what was going on.
-
I am in shock that two professional pilots sat and bore witness to what was happening. This has to be one of the most negligent crises I have ever heard of.
-
Everytime I revisit this story i get even more appalled and outraged. The plane was trying so hard to save itself.
-
My father worked as a flight attendant, chief of staff of the main cabin, in Air France. And because he was very appreciated in the company me and my little brother were often invited into the cockpit when we had to take a flight (this was before 9/11, in a time when this was still possible). And while we were allowed inside the cockpit, not a single time were we allowed to come even close to the controls of the aircraft. We were there to watch, not touch, and both my father and the pilots were very clear about it. Thus, what happened in this accident leaves me completely speechless...
-
Imagine being the first person to listen to the voice recording, to understand what happened, and to have to tell your boss/others what happened.
-
When you said “this is only 3 minutes and 15 seconds after Eldar sat down in the captain’s seat” my jaw dropped… you explained everything so thoroughly it seemed like it took at least 10 minutes
-
As a pilot in training in the modern age It's actually crazy to watch this. The FAA would skin me alive and make other pilots watch if I even had a thought about doing anything like this
-
For this tragedy to happen, the worst possible decision had to be taken at every turn.
-
It‘s just crazy that the captain didn‘t yank his son out of the chair and took control right after the first anomaly happened. Wtf was going on in his mind as he told his son to correct his mistake instead of doing it himself. This was not a flight simulator this was a real commercial passenger flight… Some people are so crazy…
-
The most heart-wrenching thing to me is how they nearly recovered it twice.
-
This is called complacent overconfidence. You start to think that you are so good at your work that you think that you dont need to be focused all the time. Stuff like this has happened to many experienced pilots.
