  • 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.

      There was a 9 second window to adjust and fix the problem.

      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

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.

      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

    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

They were baffled because they didnt expect anything of that matter to happen.

    • @epicpurevids
      @epicpurevids 2 года назад +83

      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.

    • @perseusarkouda
      @perseusarkouda 2 года назад +21

      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.

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.

I had no business sitting up in the flight deck jumpseat (I was only a gate agent), but rode up there anyway just for the experience (which was amazing).
    Also, whenever I was flying out somewhere, I used to board our aircraft at the maintenance hangar, and ride over to the gate on the plane. Which means...my luggage and I didn't go through the security checkpoint - I could have brought anything on that plane that I wanted to - yeesh. I did this dozens of times.
    So yeah - it's scary to think of how loose operations were back then. Thankfully, I meant no harm and always behaved myself. And no...I won't name the airline out of respect for people I care about who still work there, lol.

      You weren’t handling the controls, you just sat in the jump seat. This guy allowed his kids to handle the controls.

      Now that you mention this story, I remember something similar happening to me back in the 90s in a plane with my cousin and my aunt. We were in a national flight in Colombia. He always wanted to become a pilot (and he eventually did) and he asked permission to go to the cockpit and they let him. He stayed there until we landed. Of course they didn’t allow him to do anything other than just to sit and watch. But it was very cool for him. I’d say he was about 13 or so.

      @@Powerranger-le4up you are correct that they didn't allow me to "do" anything in the flight deck, but the fact that I had full access to the cockpit, and the ability to bring anything on the plane that I wanted, was very dangerous in terms of security. There was so much trust back then. This was an A320 with around 150 pax on board.

      I was saying the same thing to my husband. Pre-9/11 flying was extremely lax.

    My heart ran cold when the child disabled the Autopilot and plane banked 45° like that. Even I know that's not good. This was so terrible! Just of one mistake everyone on the Airbus is dead. I cannot imagine the horror everyone was feeling. I've been on planes during bad turbulence and that was terrible but this. . .😱
