  • PART 1 | On March 23, 1994, Russian International Airlines Flight 593 left Moscow's Airport to Hong Kong. The Captain's children were also on board and shortly after takeoff, he invited them into the cockpit which triggered a series of disastrous events.
    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. 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 and then started falling from the sky in a wild corkscrew spin. The son was trapped in the pilot's position.
    The captain eventually managed to get back into his seat but it was too late. Flight 593 crashed into the snowy mountains of Siberia and everyone on board was killed. Do you think the captain's children being invited into the cockpit was the primary reason for this air disaster? Come back for Part 2 on Wednesday!

    On an international flight (pre 9-11) I was invited into the cockpit of a 747 and sat in the Navigator's seat. Fortunately, I knew enough not to touch anything! On arriving home, I told my brother, a pilot, of my experience and he went ballistic that the pilots allowed that. Oh, and one other thing...my niece, a writer and plane crash archivist, says the g-forces are so strong that people first grey-out and then black-out before hitting the ground. No one ever feels the crash!

      Uh, the pilots leveled the wings before the plane hit the ground. The aircraft was in a steep dive they couldn't recover from, since they ran out of altitude. Any g forces by then we're minimal or non existent. So the passengers were pretty much aware would be my guess.

    If he had only let them see the cockpit or even just stay up there with them, it still would've been questionable but most people would understand and he'd walk away with a slap on the wrist with no one else at risk. However the instant he allowed his kids in the pilot seat it went too far, he and the other two officers just got too cocky thinking they had total control and could get out of trouble if it happend. The worst part though is when he's shouting at his son to get out even though HE'S the one that put the kid there and Eldar most likely felt guilty enough already. Poor kid died thinking his dad hated him.

    There's a 15 year old kid in the pilot's seat messing with the controls, and the crew can't figure out why the plane is banking to the right for no reason?

    Hope every Pilot has learned a lesson from this disaster. Never let anyone inexperienced man the cockpit.

    There are so many bells and whistles and lights what do you diagnose first ? Were they train for this in flight emergency ?

      Nope, I don't think they were trained for an emergency like this, but they were trained not to let passengers fly the jet.

      @@MrJuvefrank I wonder if you reset the computer I mean shut it off completely would that have helped is it even in emergency procedure section of the flight manual. The plane would still have power not shutting the engines off it might have worked .

    I am not sure what cockpit crew is worse: this one or the ones on Eastern Airlines Flight 401 unable to determine a burnt-out light bulb.

    Aeroflot Flight 593 was the actual name of the ill-fated flight. So tragic that a kid was allowed at the controls.
