- On October 31st, 1999, Egypt Air Flight 990 is heading out over the Atlantic Ocean to Cairo. Dinner is being served, when suddenly, the plane begins plunging toward the water. Minutes later, all 217 people on board are dead.
Can you work out how this disaster happened?
From Season 3 Episode 8 "Death And Denial": There was no distress signal, no obvious sign of malfunction. Did a bomb bring the plane down? Is there a mechanical fault with one of the most popular airliners in the world? As pieces of the plane are pulled from the ocean, the mystery deepens.
Investigators pore over the wreckage. Tiny rivets in the plane that help control the elevators were broken before the crash. Egypt Air insists this was the cause of the tragedy, but the National Transportation Safety Board pushes further.

Can you work out how this disaster happened?
Yes! Al Batouti pushed forward on the yoke! Put the plane in an unrecoverable dive. This was no malfunction. The Egyptian Authorities are still lying about this!
I think this guy was really disturbed. He changed the controls while mumbling something 11 times. No evidence for malfunctions of any kind. The only malfunction was the disturbed pilot
The dude did it. plain and simple
A third world country failing to create regulations upon 1st officers and captains allowing employees to do what they please.
@@DjDobleU809 yea then blaming the ntsb which is one of the best if not the best.
the pilot who tried to regain control of the aircraft was a good man. God bless him.
He did what he could but im just surprised he didnt realize his first officer was sabotaging the whole flight and didnt knock him off
@@stevejones5075 I'd guess he realized the crazy relief pilot was trying to crash it, but it was all he could do to just try to save the plane. He was fighting alot of g forces, and it was a miracle he was able to get into the cockpit once El Bauti Fruity put the plane into a dive.
@@kevinmalone3210 yeah just sucks since hindsight is 20/20, he did what he could
This is your propaganda. Are you a relative or something. Seriously.
@Dimitra Georgiadi you're the propaganda. What do you gain on this propaganda?
It was 100% intentional. It’s no coincidence that only moments after he’s left alone the plane starts wildly diving. There’s no explanation for why he was pushing down and continued to do so even after the captain told him to pull up. There no explanation for his unresponsiveness to the captain either. It also makes sense as to why he was so insistent to swap out early, he wanted to crash the plane asap. There’s just far too much evidence he did it on purpose and it’s outrageous Egypt tried to cover it up especially when the elevator malfunction wouldn’t lead to a crash.
He could've had a medical problem. The man was OLD.
@@CajunA79idk what medical problem would cause him to continue to push the plane down the whole time. You actively have to use the yoke to push the plane down it doesn’t just happen by accident. Just because he’s old doesn’t erase all the other very clear evidence and signs pointing to a purposeful crash
100 percent
@@CajunA79I first read your name as cajunsweetFART😂😂 sorry
@@CajunA7959 is not that old, especially today. It’s possible he could’ve had early senility but don’t discount the likeliness that this was an intentional crash.
Y’all serious? That first officer by all the evidence gathered 100% purposely crashed the plane. All his movements and decisions on that plane were odd and questionable.
From the description it seems like most passengers where American, he's probably on a suicide mission for his religion.
@@awdrifter3394 they actually give an some factual possible reason yet you still bring this argument just because most passenger are american... its 2023 stop make a religious bias
@Zerulu key words "possible reason," they don't know why he did it & it's anyone's guess
Yes and he was humiliated was not going to be able to fly to USA anymore due to his harassment of women at the hotel...He was a creepy guy.
34:17 It is beyond mind blowing that the daughter of one of the innocent pilots who was killed is indirectly defending the first officer who killed her father.
This is literally how the investigation of Egypt Air 990 concluded:
NTSB: "OK, after thousands of hours of research by dozens of our best investigators, here's the 160-page detailed report that proves that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane."
Egyptian Government Reply: "Nuh-uh!!!!!!"
He was calling on God when he put the plane in a dive to commit his evil act to intentionally crash it. How warped and twisted is that!
That’s the Muslim way to do things. It’s an evil and harmful ideology!!!
Couldn't be my God he was calling on if he crash the plane on purpose
not "God" but Allah
Warped idea of God.
That's how religion works my friend. Not just ISLAM. All these fake, man made instruments of mass mind control. Pure evil
A Word of advice: Never fire a staff and give them responsibilities.
Dude 💯. I mean, what madness!!!
I was given three months notice I was losing my job. But I continued doing my job. But my responsibilities did not include flying an airplane. That is what is ridiculous about this scenario.
Its quite obvious he crashed the plane on purpose!!! No failure!!! Done on purpose!!!
Thankfully, we now have aviation rules where no "one" pilot is in control of a plane here in North America. I believe that this is now a consistent avaiation rule worldwide. If a co-pilot, or pilot needs to use the washroom, it is my understanding that the first flight officer/head flight crew member would be in the cockpit while either is away for a bathroom break.
My sincere condolences to the families. Crushing.
I think all airlines do this, especially in the wake of other instances of a sole pilot being in the cockpit and crashing the plane, including the now infamous Germanwings 9525 flight.
I actually saw them do this on a flight I was on recently flying out to go diving. I was sitting close to the front and the first officer came out of the cockpit and was replaced by the purser (head flight attendant) until he returned.
I do hope this is true, but, I'm reminded on the recent, purpossful downing of German Wings flight from Barcelona to Berlin. The pilot was alone in the cockpit and flew the plane into the side of a mountain in France not long after take off. I think there may be times when only one person is in the cokcpit and at the controls. I hate that thought.
I heard in today's news that some major airlines are considering reducing flight crews and relying more on automation and remote control.
Yes, that is correct. When I was a flight attendant, we would have to wait in the cockpit for the pilot to return.
North America has been doing this for awhile, probably since 9/11, Europe has adopted it since the German wings incident. And hopefully China gets on board after their recent disaster of the same nature.
No mystery, he crashed it.
But the Egyptian authority say otherwise.
@@johna.4334 Aiii....is just like silkair 185. No one can fucking agree and both side is too bias to agree on
yup,,,,,suicide
All technical evidence in this and Silkair showed that it MUST have been the pilot(s). People of special interest groups always say "no one like us could have done this". That's why we don't have religious groups in charge of accident investigations. That's why we need to look at the pilots as human beings first and not what special interest group they may be part of. Follow the unbiased evidence by trained investigators not by people who have a vested interest in protecting their own special interest group whether it is a nationality or religion.
I think it was like an suicidal act or terrorism.
It's ignorant to say any person of any particular culture does not commit suicide. None of us can possibly know what's in another persons mind
I can’t believe they had the audacity to blame the plane crash on a mechanical failure. It was clear that it was 100% pilots fault to deliberately crash the plane. It’s a slap to the victims family face trying to protect their veteran pilot by blaming on the rivets of the elevator
Protecting their RELIGION
Things aren't always how they seem. They can be on to something, this investigation channel together with the ntsb can also be pushing their own agenda. I'm not saying the pilot isn't to be blamed, but all I'm saying is that we can't be 100% sure about what we are shown.
@UC8fWCE
7-dRFhnTOtuQdGJqQ and what religion is that?
@@alisonholland7531 Islam, of course. Muslims won't admit that their kind could commit suicide. That's stated in the video. With the exception being suicide when blowing up infidels or flying planes into skyscrapers occupied by infidels.
@@Baskerville22 Their killing religion.
I think it was a mistake for the captain to tell El Batouti BEFORE the flight that this would be his last flight.
Yep, that would've been wise, but they no doubt didn't know how sick this man was!
His family is swimming in utter denial. Their excuses are disgusting. They are trying to protect him and ignoring the victims. They are revealing their culture to the world by being ignorant and showing no respect to the victims. Could someone explain to me why he had to relieve the co - pilot flying 20 minutes in?What was the rush? There is no logical explanation other than bringing the plane down.
"They are revealing their culture to the world" What does that even mean?
@@adham400 Their prime Minister did not want the fbi involved. Their culture as in " let's keep our dirty laundry " under the carpet . The male chauvinistic attitude is acceptable in their country, but not toletated in America. Should I continue?
@@adham400 That they much rather protect their religion than accept the truth and have respect for the victims.
@@dimitrageorgiadi5087 EXACTLY CORRECT!
@@adham400 It means bullsh...t and ignorance.
I'd also like to point out to the el Batouty family, including the nephew, that denial isn't just a river in Egypt...
Haha. 😅
I see what you did there 👏👏
The son and daughter were talking like there had been no investigations at all before their father was accused of intentionally crashing the plane.
They are in complete denial to the truth.
I guess it's hard to admit that your father is a murderer.
He was a narcissist. A lot of pilots, surgeons, high ranking officers etc. Have this problem of extreme narcissism and he was going to take everyone down with him. And he did.
You are 100 percent correct
Also included in your list are judges. Some have big egos.
@@kevinmalone3210 true
Nowadays some people put a coat hanger in a bathroom stall with a camera on it my dad saw them before I don't know who put it there but when you pull your pants down the person that put that coat hanger there with the camera on it can see everything you do that's when you call the police if you see it if you see 1 hanging up call the police don't take down the coat hanger let the police do it if they come out if they don't then take it down because you don't know who is watching you it is a small camera lens so when you take it down make sure they don't see you're face
Yes , really ,they think they can put t together.
Why admit that your oldest first officer who never made captain went psycho and crash the plane on purpose taking everyone with him when it’s easier to blame someone or something else.
ditto!
A down right dirty coward!
Pilot a murderer
Never fire a pilot then let them fly again.😞✈
Should have fired him in Egypt
Word
Yeah what a smart idea that was…
Agreed
For real !
That was a nice relaxed and peaceful flight huh ? Wow what terror that must have been. That was crazy. It dove then dove again. The people must have experienced sheer terror
No doubt, it can be unsettling when on a commercial flight and it encounters some turbulence, but to go through what these passengers did......
@@lindyt3942I guess adrenaline helped him?
The spokeman for the pilot's family dishonored the memories of all the people who died on that flight by trying to dismiss it as a "simple plane crash". All their arguments for this pilot are huge stretches of belief. Occam's Razor points at him intentionally crashing the plane.
there is also no honor in killing several hundred people for no reason
It's hard to admit that your close relative was a mass murderer.
If indeed it WAS mechanical failure, isn't it odd that the failure happened as soon as the guy was alone in the cockpit? Hmmm...
It's crystal clear that el Batouty crashed it on purpose: his job was hanging by a thread because of his inapropiate behaviour and he couldn't pass the First Officer rank despite being almost 60 years old. Not only that, but his behaviour made things even clearer: the most obvious sign is that he made the young first officer to leave the cockpit earlier. Then, he waited for the Captian to go to the toilet and then he turned off the engines and made a mess with the controls.
And the icing on the cake is that he didn't seem shocked by how uncontrollable the aircraft was or by the situation. He never answered anything to the captian, just kept flying, clearly, to death.
You dont have to be an aviation expert to realize that this was no accident by mechanical or design failure. It was on purpose.
Never tell a pilot
"it is your last flight'
I studied Flight 990 for over 18 years and I have been flying for 38 years with over 26900 hours of flight time. I found out just by using Common Sense in this case coupled with the background of the Co-Pilot it appears to me He more likely than not was unstable mentally. I know this Aircraft inside and out. It appears his career was soon to be ended before his retirement and he held a secret life that got out by complaints. He could appear normal in all cases and pass a Medical Evaluation of any type, but his reported actions bring to life he had some sort of mental problem with his always wanting strange women to go with him. Put yourself in his shoes at the time when he felt his actions were going to be exposed when he got back to Egypt. It has nothing to do with Religion at all but his disgrace that was coming made him to only think about what people were going to do and what would possibly happen to him when he got back home. In simple words he wasn't going to be charged with any crime but only Shamed by his actions and he had a big ego. He was not going to let his good name be ruined. That was a normal flight with an un-normal Pilot behind the Controls. He was not worried about anyone else but himself and going out as a Hero Pilot. His actions leading up to the incident were not normal at all. In my years of flying, I had two Co-Pilots removed from the flight deck and one was restrained due to being in my opinion unstable. One got off the Plane had 18 years of Flight Service and a family and was never heard from again ever. No one ever found him or his Cessna 182RG he got in and flew off with. Both of my actions were sustained by investigation. Both of those Pilots were unstable and could have been dangerous or deadly to my Flight. Both had hidden secrets that un-nerved me. I respect the people of Egypt and their beliefs, but I do not respect any foul play on the Flight Deck. My unbiased opinion on this one and may all the Souls on board rest in Peace in Heaven.
Right on....🟥🦖🟥
That’s incredible good job 👍
I think what was highly disrespectful, was the Egyptian authorities trying to cover up for Batouty and discredit the findings of a highly respected agency like the NTSB. Unfortunately it's a cultural thing, rather than a religious one, for people from this part of the world where I live, as well as West Asia to fight and never lose face even if they are wrong. The chief pilot should have waited till they got back to Egypt before relieving him of his duties because ego runs high in that part of the world and it only takes a very short te for someone to take such a drastic step.
So what are you saying? The flight just crashed,????No suicide? You lost me
@@paulpatane2439 he’s saying it was suicide. Guy was mentally unstable.
I was in Nantucket when this flight crashed. I spotted a piece of wreckage which I believe looked like a cushion from a seat. I reported it to the NTSB but unsure what ever happened. Pretty crazy though.
On a side note, the owner of the bed and breakfast we were staying at is an ex commercial pilot who was 100% convinced it was pilot suicide. He said “planes just don’t fall out of the sky”…that always stuck with me.
hes right, they dont
737 Max calls bs
@@julieleimkuehler1409 ik I still don’t trust that plane
@@JoJoGranum it was two crashes, right?
@@julieleimkuehler1409 yes it was.
I remember being in a pizza place in Las Vegas with a friend Halloween night and this came up on the news. My friend was already terrified of flying and she thought this was a sign she was going to crash when we flew back home the next day. Really freaky. Especially when they were already suspecting at the time that the crash was intentional.
I'm sorry to hear that. 😢
They'd gladly call it intentional to avoid bad reports for the airlines' maintenance
I don’t blame your friend for being terrified. I definitely would be as well. I am afraid of flying and won’t fly.
@@pattimorey7766 It was 100% intentional. Everyone knows that.
There are over 100,000 flights EVERY DAY with millions of people safely traveling all over the world. That's over 36 million flights annually. People who think something is going to happen to 'their plane' simply don't understand these numbers and how safe air travel truly is. 🤔
The family really thinks they can just get on here and just lie and say something completely untrue and the opposite of the truth and expect us all just to say oh yeah okay. Even though it's proven that what they're saying is a downright lie? Despicable
The fact that a whole country could be in such arrogant denial, protecting their own, their reputation, and their “honor”, at the expense of the victims.
You know what is “dishonorable”? Denying responsibility and turning your back on the facts, blaming the decent investigators who came to the correct conclusion, and covering up a crime. The cognitive dissonance is disgusting.
I live in Egypt and Egyptians blame everyone.. It is always the foreign hand at work..
Yep, that's what they do, blame others. Its some kind of nasty cultural carry-on!
@@aflaz171, just like Mohamed Al-Fayed blamed the Royal Family for Dodi & Diana’s deaths.
given boeings history, you'd be better off believing anyone but them. Mcas and other shoddy and despicable behavior shows that you should doubt their aircraft.
@@aflaz171 and you are blaming them for blaming others?
I hate how the family of perpetrators always have such little regard for the victims. They'd rather lie and defend their fathers actions rather than sympathize with the victims and accept their father crashed the plane. A full investigation was done.
Just yesterday I watched a mom who's son killed a young girl complain that her son was put in solitary and he was "not getting sunlight". Sunlight?? Somebody's daughter is dead and never coming back and you're crying over your very much alive son not getting sunlight. He can eat, drink, smile, study, graduate, get married, get conjugal visit and have a child all while he's in jail but that lady can't.
The cause of the crash was that the pilot lost his mind and committed suicide then took 216 people with him.
The pilot was NUTS and they bring religion into this. He was a KILLER
That's not true, Investigators expected that this plane was on it experienced 33 military people therefore the most proposal that it was shoot to get rid of these military experience people.
@@shadierfan4632 Nah it was Batouti. Why else would he repeatedly say "I rely on God" instead of communicating and helping the Captain with the problem? He was just doing this own thing and not actively helping the Captain. All evidence point to him.
Of course the family doesn't want to believe their father, husband etc... Had any ill intentions, but he shut off the engines, the weather was fine, ask yourself why he wanted the co-pilot to leave right away? I'm telling you it was suicide. I'm sorry for his family to not be able to except that, but it's the truth. It's very clear. He had no regard for all thse innocent souls on board. 😡 🤬
I think Israel and CIA behind that accident and he shut off the engines to avoid a rocket from the navy cause in that day this plane was ordered to fly over military squares
His family most probably already knew about his sick character, but he was bringing money home and the denial we see is just a face saving exercise that is used in much of this part of the world. Even if they hated him, they'd be on his side when it comes to him versus the others, whether he was right or wrong. With his character I'm sure he was a tyrant at home too, but they'd be just as quick to deny that too. I'm sorry, but I live in a very hypocritical part of the world and theirs is very close by. I maybe one of the few who would admit it, but there are whole societies that live in denial. I'm a seasoned culture trainer with over 20 years of experience. I believe I know what I'm talking about.
@@allabouttravel Can you reveal where you are from? Just curious.
Not only suicide it was massmurder!
The only real evidence of structural failure was the mental state of the "pilot"-
likely further unravelled facing national disgrace when his misdeeds were exposed.
a lot of people believe that some people can do no wrong. a human trait.
34:17 got to love how she is playing the victim and race baiting here, the most satisfying part to this is the fact that what she was so defensive about, ended up being the truth. How or why would you come on that strong saying it was not the pilots intentions to crash the plane and that it is a mechanical failure when they already exhausted all of the mechanical failures during the investigation and simulator testing. This kind of crap really gets under my skin...
the Egyptians started out with the answer and tried to make the evidence fit in order to protect the older pilot instead of looking at the evidence with an open mind. they had faith in the pilot
They were also drowning in foolish pride.
It was not faith in the pilot. It was denial of responsibility and denial that an Egyptian would commit suicide. How absurd!
@@patriot20000 you really have no idea how arabs work. It's never their fault, always Allah has control.
@@barbaradyson6951 I understand that. I'm talking about the results and what they were in REALITY not the fantasy they may believe in. I totally get their fantasy world. Unfortunately he killed people who lived in the real world.
According to that witness, the Egyptian officials knew he purposely crashed the plane and the Egyptian investigators were told to cover it up. That makes the most sense to me.
Heavens sake what he did. A pilot w/ a bridge unknown to all. All those passengers and other pilots, geese what he did. There's no forgiving that pilot. He killed them all and his own children don't want to even believe there father could do such an "unholy" thing. Denial for sure. He was eager to get into the co- pilots seat cause he had plans. What a human is capable when his mind is made up to do evil. Bless all those defenseless souls on board.What more can any of them could have done ? I saw pilots seated in w/ the passengers, if only they had the ability to go into that cockpit and knock him out. That's what I would have done. The Captain was in thebathroom, he had no idea what the he'll that mental cop- pilot was up to.
Denial is a powerful thing.
So this case was like the Germanwings one very sad and horrible.... May all of them rest in Heaven🙏
Agree to 100%!
Same as Silk Air 185, the crash cause was unknown whether it was mechanical failure or pilot suicide, but most of us know it really is suicide. Yeah Albatouti should've not been on that flight since he keeps harassing women in the hotel earlier but instead they let him crash the plane as a revenge plan. As for Tsu way ming, he has financial problems and got demoted for his poor flying skills.
Immediate giveaway is turning off the auto pilot. Enough said. Very sad for families of passengers and crew.
PILOT DID IT ON PURPOSE
The guy lost his marbles and Egypt air refuses to admit it...
I had an airline putting up crews at my hotel and generally they were good but there were definitely bad apples from time to time.
Yes, many pilots from all countries seem to have a bad reputation, at least when it comes to respect of women.
The amount of cope and taqiyya from the Egyptians is astounding!!!! But... not surprising.
"taqiyya"?
@@johna.4334 A muslim is permitted to lie to a non muslim. It's called taqiya
First officer should have been fired a long time ago not before the flight how can they say it's the plane flight controls
This one irritates me beyond belief the pure and utter disgusting denial of proof on the part of the Egyptians and the co-pilots family
I can't believe they didn't care about the gross injustice of this tragedy and let Gamil el-Batouty go scot-free without facing the consequences. If he were alive today, he'd be behind bars for the rest of his life.😮💨
If you listen to his words in the cockpit he wasn't looking at this as suicide. He was doing it as proof that they were wrong about him and that they would suffer on his behalf. If these people in these regions didn't believe in suicide then the bombers willing to give their lives Do not see their actions as suicide. Their lives are secondary to their faith and he was using his faith to explain away his actions.
Exactly! We know that the men of that culture have no respect for women whatsoever. They should have told him after they had safely landed the plane, that he was never to set foot as a pilot in America. A deranged male chauvinist killed all these people. RIP to all the victims. May God give their families strength to heal and carry on in their lives.
@@dimitrageorgiadi5087 That's so wrong on many levels there are more Egyptian women in the public sector than in western countries, infact. Egypt had multiple queens across different eras. Saying otherwise is simply ignorance.
Also just to let you know, there is no evidence that el-batouti crashed the aeroplane whatsoever, it's a speculation at best. Before you go on a karen rant and insult an entire culture, make sure you're well educated on the subject at least.
Al-batouti had no motivation whatsoever to crash the aeroplane on purpose. If he was really a muslim extremist, then how come he was trying to sleep with women at the hotel prior to the flight and had a long history of sexual harrasement etc.. Doesn't add up, does it? The phrase "I rely on god" has a different meaning culturally than what you think, no one says "I rely on god" as they are committing suicide. The phrase is commonly used by someone in a trouble or an unpleasant situation, hence, "I rely on god" as in I rely on god to get make things better. Which doesn't make sense to be used in the context of crashing an aeroplane. Even the linguistics professor agreed to that explanation.
It's really more grey than what you think, you're welcome to rant more though.
@@adham400 Wow ,you sure shed some light on everything . Impressive. What do the queens of the past have to with today? Nothing whatsoever. Why did he pretty much pressure the co pilot to take a nap twenty minutes in,when he was due to take over during the latter part of the flight.?The prime minister wanted to cover the whole thing and not involve the FBI ,why? When the captain went to the bathroom, he all of a sudden forget how to fly. Really? Yeah ,that makes a lot sense sense. He was reprimanded and acted out like a 5yr old that had a toy taken away. I am glad you understand what the Muslim "rely in god "means .Bravo!
@@dimitrageorgiadi5087 Queens of the past have to do with the fact that even our primitive ancestors were more civilized and accepting than your current culture LOL.
There has been several theories/ speculations on what happened during the crash. The director of the documentary decided to go with that one but there is no evidence that Al batouti actually did it. There are equally likely theories like for example the aeroplane being shot down by US military.
Also the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder stopped working 2 minutes before the airplane crashes into the sea. How could that possibly happen unless both engines were torn apart, hence no power or the airplane was destroyed in the air, care to explain?
@@adham400 Yes the video literally stated that the left engine was ripped off during the dive
My question is why did no one comfort the families of the deceased? Hugs and handshakes at the very least. I don't even like people, but I hug a person who needs a hug.
God bless !
Do you like yourself? I hope you're not an airline pilot.
I had been in Egypt just a few months prior to this. Even flew Egypt Air. Some of my friends flew from Cairo into Sharm el Sheikh on an Egypt Air flight that almost crashed upon landing. Let’s just say, in my 30 years of millions of miles of air travel to 57 countries, tho I loved Sharm el Sheikh, I despised Cairo and when I heard of that flight and possible pilot purposely crashing it, I said, yup, I truly believe it.
Third World standards make for substandard airlines.
It should never be revealed to that lunatic that it would be his last flight. That information should have been reserved until they arrived back in Egypt
💯
Hindsight is always 20/20.
Suicide 10000000% how the family can justify it as anything else is ridiculous I feel bad for them but please just accept it
Hearing every egyptian analyzer try to justify the most obvious ditching hurts so much
Never forgotten this disaster. One of the passenger just returned his car rental and his buddy took him to the airport. He was part of the military training in the US and he was aboard this flight. A tall and slim guy. To this day I still remember his face and the business suit he was wearing.
The fact that this all happen when the captain left for just few minutes !
Right what are the odds
@@jackie5522 yes !
it was the relief pilots fault.... he wanted to go out with a bang
Terrifying event! Never let anybody to be in the cockpit except the authorized pilots…
The el Batouty family needs to defend their father's honor? How do you defend something that doesn't exist?
Through delusional beliefs.
I love this series
Flight instructor...can call him captain bcoz of older age? Younger FO, shouldnt give the old man permission to control the cockpit..1999, history for flight 990.
Right, never surrender your authority under any circumstances.
My worst nightmare ever !! How horrible for all on board ! I can’t imagine a worse way to die
Maniac as a company pilot
Dude had is nasty vices and urges and great accomplishments. Tons of people fit that bill and hes not excluded from that list. He killed everyone on purpose and didnt wanna face the consequences of his choices
Fighting the plane at that moment is probably not the right solution. Beating up the copilot to loose control of the cockpit will probably the better response.
What a pathetic world we live in,some nationalities would rather ignore the truth just to save their own, what a shame😌
It's worse than that...All the top financial heads in the world are satanists....
You must live in a country that hates Egypt for some reason lol
@@EddyOfTheMaelstrom 💀💀💀
Yep, and Americans are #1 on that list
Somebody's towel rack had some rust on it.
The captain has been working for Egypt Air for 36 years. The first officer is 36 years old. Quite interesting.
When the nephew said "It is just a simple plane crash".....um no.
As if plane crashes were simple 💀
Sounds like the Egyptian government & the family of the accused didn't want the truth to come out. Despite a 10 million investigation, over 2 years of investigation, etc., if the truth wasn't what they wanted, then they would offer flimsy, unsubstantiated claims of a cover up or insufficient investigation. Unfortunately, some people put honor above all else & that includes admitting to the truth of what caused the plane crash. Deepest condolences to the victims & their loved ones that have to deal with this horrible situation. May the true victims RIP.
The co-pilot's family is just as sick as he was. Runs in their family.
Like you comment you are right all day ❤
That spokesperson said, in summary, "if you buy your son 4 new tires, you don't commit suicide. People commiting suicide would never get their boy new tires"
And he believes it
@@dickfitswell3437 he’s an idiot and can’t deal with the truth it’s as simple as that!
@@dickfitswell3437 right?! In fact, a lot of people who commit suicide do things like that -- they'll buy stuff for people, give valuable possessions away, etc. -- it's like they're settling up because they know they're about to end their life.
Very unfortunate
Condolences to friends and family of the departed souls
Reuploads like this do make it difficult to keep track of what I have seen and what I haven't. Though I suppose I do appreciate that they are uploaded at all.
i have a playlist of all the different mayday videos on my channel, check it out and tell me about any ones i missed lol
@@scratchthatfnaf Nice job, thanks! I've saved the playlist
It is against the law to have only one person in the cockpit if someone goes to the bathroom someone else has to Sit in until that pilot comes back you never have just one person in the cockpit
It's like that French plane that was crashed by the first officer while the captain stepped away.
I'm amazed the 2 people in cockpit rule wasn't introduced earlier.
Egypt authorities trying to cover up what actually happened, so sad and sickening.
That pilot waited for a chance to purposely crash that plane. He chanted the phrase 11 times never answering the captain., He took it off cruise control and that is when the plane started to dive.He got disgraced by losing his job because he was sexually harassing women and stalking them. How many people do you know that get accused by strangers of sexual harassment more then once and by different women. The Egyptian government is deplorable for protecting this sexual predator. He was held accountable before it was something that Egypt would be disgraced by so they covered it up. That informant sounded credible and sincere and feared for his life because of the person that they were trying to cover up.
Very dreadful situation to be in 🤦🏾♂
This story is worthy of a Hollywood movie if not the tragic fare of people on board
I was thinking that also! Start with the crash and make it mysterious then investigations + hearings and Egypt outrage
It would make for a good movie if done right. The same for the Fed Ex flight, except the perp there would have to be made white, instead of black, since it wouldn't be politically correct!
The Egyptian investigation team's unprofessional attitude is a slap in the victims families face. Furthermore, it's a betrayal of their own military considering the passengers included their servicemen. Egypt Air should not have let a lame duck pilot be a part or the crew and should have flown him back to Cairo.
It had to be a pilot error. That idiotic relief 1st officer left all alone decides to sabotage the flight. Credit to the captain for fighting the zero gravity to reach the cockpit and to put up a valiant effort.
when you are a leader you don't cry but fight how to find a way... world is a place of little joy and a lot of challenges...
The captain should have called the other first officer or other captain to the cockpit, forceably remove the crazy pilot, had him cuffed and under arrest if there was an air marshall or a law enforcement officer...This is providing the flight crew can undo that psycho pilot and save the plane and 250 other lives
Remember that there was severe gravity going on! People could hardly move from their chairs, it was said that pilot reaching the cockpit was a serious feat
High G forces caused by the plane diving and climbing made it almost impossible for anyone to leave their seats.
Your turn off the engines and the auto pilot and then pull the plane down it’s obvious he wanted to die
For whatever reason El Batuti crashed that plane. Everything happens immediately after he is left alone in the cockpit.
I hope noone faces this 😢😢😭😭😭 i feel heartfelt & scared so much everytime i go by flight,I use night sleeping tablet sometimes i pull side person’s hair or hand.
As an experienced pilot myself, this one is obvious. If there is a mechanical, the crew verbalizes the symptoms, calls for checklists, etc. this F/O did none of that. An idiotic religious culture is at the root of this tragedy.
the relief pilot was too old to be flying a plane....he caused it to dive and tear apart
No mechanical failure, "competent" pilot at the helm. Can't help but think this wasn't an accident.
I found it very strange that the commentators to this video nor other investigators even once mentioned anything about the fact that the pilot who come back to the cockpit exclaimed once or twice in the black box recording that the engines were shut down. This would obviously have been an important item of investigation and required a plausible answer to those defending or accusing the pilot in question. There must be a explanation as to why the commentator did not comment on that exclamation by the returning pilot but I personally don't get it.
They were throwing everything at the wall to see what would stick. I remember when this happened. I remember just hearing it in just the sound of his voice that it was on purpose. A doctor I worked for was supposed to be on this flight
The real question to ask here is why are Egyptians not people of integrity!
the actor who played first officer Adel Anwar is handsome
I saw a slithering snake as he entered the cockpit...the younger co pilot should have stood his ground and refuse that snake trying to boot him out of his rightful position as co-pilot...lesson here is...never give this kind of news to a person until his last day.
No coverup.
60 year old man took the controls BECAUSE he intended to fly the plane into the ground.
Absolute monster.
What did that cop pilot get out of doing that ? Killing all those people, WHAT ???That cop pilot was mentally unstable. The families will never get over this wrong that was done to their loved ones. My sincerest condolences to those families who were made to suffer because of that cop pilots illogical actions.😨😧😩😬😠😠😡
Why are you calling him a cop?
@@MB.543 I think they meant co-pilot and it was by far not his fault. I sort of blame the Captain, not the man "CAPTAIN".... he was clearly mentally unstable. The first 2 in the cockpit were doing just fine. It was the other pilot called "Captain" who had serious mental issues if jot schizophrenia.
@@MB.543 lol, maybe because he had authority due to his senior rank.
waterbird91;
It’s called “co-pilot”. Not cop pilot.
Are there any Egyptians watching this? What's your opinion now, 20+ years since it happened?
as an Egyptian, I think and believe that AL-Batuti is the one who intentionally crashed the plane BUT I also think that the reasons mentioned above is not enough I think there is more to know about that person.
Read Nowayfagbughazaleh comment right above yours to answer your question.
I live how the nephew said it shows its a cover up!! Are you serious yeah covering up how your uncle murdered all those innocent people cuz his feeling were hurt
I felt so sorry for the man who killed himself.
I was SO angry at the pilot who murdered his passengers and crew.✈
He’s a murderous pos I feel nothing but disgust. Suicidal or not. other people with suicidal ideation, you know, just want to end ourselves. Not HUNDREDS of innocent ppl
It's so long ago but i still remember that crash very well. I didn't knew that the 767-300 ER has a seperate navigation display.😂
