Absolutely unacceptable... as soon as I heard the pilot say "you want to sit in my seat and steer" yeah no... there is no way you should be allowing that to happen.
Sure, there could have been a system to let them know the autopilot was turned off, sure they could have recovered by relaxing and not doing anything and allowing the plane to fix itself, but it all stemmed from a pilot doing the stupidest thing he could possibly do... letting a kid sit and fly. His fault entirely.
I would like to be a pilot, but if my dad was a pilot and he told me "go ahead, sit and fly!" I would be like uhhhhhh no thank you I can't fly yet
Newer aircraft will now give you an audible warning "autopilot disengaged" so that can help if something similar happens in the future.
No no, what's unacceptable here is that THERE'S A LITERAL FUCKING AD IN THE VIDEO
Yeah the reasoning "I think the pilot let the boy do it thinking there would be an alert" was such bullshit!
Okay, sure that's the small problem. The big problem was allowing a kid to sit in the pilot's seat and mess with the controls! There's no other circumstance where anyone would try to justify why it's okay for someone with no flight training and who isn't authorized, to be at the controls of a passenger jet while in flight!
But they had to find some way to make it the West's fault rather than admit that their pilot acted like a cocky dumbass!
This is one of the hardest ones to watch.
The crew members need to reevaluate their decision.
@@Jose_Hunters_EWF_Remixes That made no sense.
I feel so bad for the passengers and crew of this doomed flight
This one is hard to watch, I do not like how they let the kids fly the plane
Seems like his daughter was the smart one!
"Do you want to sit in my seat and fly the plane?"
"Erm...no."
The crappy plaques they gave the deceased, was rediculous, while giving the pilot a hero's grave, when he let his kid's take the lives of everyone in his hands. Fact, they would be alive had he not let his kid's fly the plane. The pilot is to blame, but they white wash it.
I agree this really pissed me off! How could someone in that position even consider letting children play in a flight deck with all those lives 😡
@Elaine Roberts Yes! It really bothers me how insane some humans are
💯💯💯👍👍
The investigators or maybe industry insiders said the pilot (father) was an amazing pilot and had an impeccable record up until that decision, and they felt the lifelong doing the right things should not be erased because of one moment of mistake. People may argue that’s one heck of mistake he made, but some others feel one mistake shouldn’t take away a lifelong of great deeds 🤷♂️
@@lhia0416 sorry but he did something he Knew better and the exact reason is exactly what the outcome was and he did it at the expense of passengers who had no choice
As a flight instructor I’m curious why the first officer couldn’t recover. Usual attitude recovery is required training every year is most every country.
Kid in pilot seat, they must be nuts!
My uncle was a pilot for his whole life and pre 9/11 he let family and friends into the cockpit all the time but never EVER let them touch a damn thing. That’s so reckless.
I was allowed in a cockpit around 1990. Why would anyone want touch the controls? I never got near them and never wanted to.
The dad should have just let them watch him fly the plane. Why would he endanger those innocent passengers by showing off to his kids. This should have never happened.
The father allows the children in the captain's seat, touch the control, and when Eldar says that the plane "is turning by itself" the father doesn't tell Eldar to get out of the seat AT ONCE! There was a lot of time wasted to save the airplane before the situation got unrecoverable and the G forces preventing the captain to return to his seat. This is the most enraging case of an air crash that I've watched. So many lives lost unnecessarily 😡
Exactly my point ! He let him sit in and think like he can save a plane himself
For real!
I don't know how much of that was just interpretation by the reinactors, but I was thinking "why isn't he telling him 'get up, right now!'"
@@sandpiperr it's in the Cockpit Voice Recorder, the first thing he had to do was take his son out of that seat and jump in himself.
Ridiculous the Russian investigator's looked for everyway possible to not blame the pilot ( Dad). Maybe afraid of possible ligation. I don't blame the children, or the plane manufacturer, but solely the Captain who allowed his kid's to fly, or crash, a commercial plane. Unbelievable.
Please, NO kids in the cockpit...
RIP
To the passengers and crew of Aeroflot Flight 593
One of the silliest reasons to crash 😤
This is what happens when parents let their self-ingrained “i work too much” guilt take over. Seriously, get a damn grip.
Pre-9/11, when I was 10 years old, on a flight to or from London (can’t remember which), an attendant and the pilot came back to my row and asked if I’d like to see the view from the cockpit- I have NO idea why they asked me- but I was like OMG yea! I followed them to the cockpit, and it was amazing. Gorgeous and such a beautiful bright blue and carpet of white clouds below- but I knew DAMN WELL ENOUGH to keep still, because I saw a million buttons and switches that I knew could crash us if I bumped into them. I stepped in between the pilot and co pilots seats, keeping my arms close to my sides and tentatively looked out the windshields- so much more than I’d ever seen before on the flights to/from Britain. It was amazing, but in my joy, I still understood that I should touch NOTHING, even the damn doorknob. Maybe I was just a cautious child, but even children (esp teenagers) should understand the importance to be careful. It’s not an arcade game. It’s hundreds of lives, dependent on the buttons and controls being left the eff alone except by the pilots.
Totally irresponsible!
Glad there are strict regulations in place now that no one is allowed in the cockpit other than the flight crew and door is locked while passengers are on board
The 9/11 terrorist attacks was the cause for such regulations to be put in place. Before then back in the 1990’s and 1980’s. It was a common practice to let children tour the cockpit during a flight. It was also on the flight crew to make sure the rule of look but don’t touch was followed. Which did not happen here.
What a disgrace in the part of the Pilot. What the hell he's thinking for allowing his 15 son. It backfired right away and too bad all those passengers died.
I agree 100%. That was a stupid move he made and all these folks died because of it.
WTF. As soon as I heard “a 15 year old is in control” I lost it. What the ever loving hell was the pilot thinking. Of a passenger plane! Unbelievable. If you want to teach your kid how to fly, start with a damn flight simulator for a while then a Cessna. This is beyond stupidity. I can’t believe it how stupid he was. 15 year olds aren’t even allowed drive a car in Russia, much less pilot a passenger plane.
Excellent video.
I feel so bad for the children they were little they diden’t know the autopilot could be partially disconnected
He should have never let a kid take the damn wheel of a plane. But, when he asked the kid, "Is it turning by itself?" And he said "Yes it is." The pilot should have IMMEDIATELY got back in the seat instead of looking at the screen and trying to figure out why the plane is already close to exceeding it's bank angle. This is even worse than Air France 447, and I thought that one was bad.
15:50 "they will fire us" lol oh trust me, that's the least of your issues lol
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Very privileged pilot who gets to take his family on the plane once a year for a discount lol.
poor lady lost her whole family
I remember as a child flying on a cargo military plane from Hawaii to Cali when moving and they let me in the cockpit, I didn't get to sit in a seat up I remember they let me turn a nob on the Center controls between the pilots that turned the plane!!
I was a kid after 9/11 i was maybe 6 when the pilot let me “fly” the airplane. That’s insane to think it think it could have ended like this. This is a terrible way to end, as a family, screaming and full with fear.
I agree with you Derrick, but one thing I thought was if an adult needs lots of training and experience to be able to control a jet. and the kid was too short, his feet can't reach the rudder pedals, his father should have realized this.
I remember this one!
just because the auto pilot stopped doesnt explain why the plane went nuts. i would bet the kid had his feet on the rudder pedal and and caused the incident.
I have watched countless air crash investigations series but this is the most unforgivable and unprofessional pilot actions EVER to date.Just PATHETIC.
8:50 "Kids, would you like to see a reckless disregard for safety?"
16:24 Instead of staring at it how about stopping it from turning? Use that yoke thingy in front of you. It is like a car turns towards a wall and everyone is wondering "Why is the car going into the wall?" instead of turning the wheel and worrying about why later. The boy even had to be the one to point out it is banking. These guys weren't even checking the most basic flight instrument, the horizon.
45:44 I disagree with his assessment here. Regardless of their confusion they could've disengaged the autopilot and taken manual control to stop an obviously dangerous situation that was building. They knew how to fly a plane. So many of these crashes involved a crew distracted with debugging a puzzle instead of addressing the immediate issue and gaining control of the plane.
This horrific plane crash , the death of all of those peoples should not have happen and gone are the days of any children or persons outside of the crew ever benig allowed in the cockpit. Rest in peace to all the souls . Amen
I remember when I was young. I had a chance to drive a car but I wasn't picked to handle the driving wheel some other youngster did. The driver took a chance but thank God we didn't crashed in the less off dirt busy traffic street.
Damn kids!
That pilot was a real hero.
my late dad probably knew that area- he was sent to siberia in ww2
This was absolutely unacceptable...
Did Airbus switch from a yoke to side mounted joystick or was it always a side mounted joystick? The video shows a yoke like that of Boeing.
They did switch. Earlier Airbus models like the A300 and A310 used yokes like Boeing. The Airbus A320 was the first to incorporate a sidestick.
RIP to all, we have to learn from this experience. And kudos to the Russian investigators, how difficult for them to debut in this trial by fire.
I think this is the craziest thing I have ever seen in aviation, BIG BOO BOO!!
Won't get me in no plane😳
Had it not crashed what would have happened to him for letting his kids be in there? Obviously never know but still crazy he let them touch anything idk just crazy
i normally sympathize with pilots but NOPE,, the MINUTE that plane started banking,, captain shoul've got back in his seat, and there shoulve been FULL control by crew until flight was stabilized, NOT that the kids should've EVER been in that seat to begin with. situational awareness was absolutely absent ,,
elder and yana was so young…
Am I missing something?! Not the pilots error? If his son wasn’t flying the damn plane those people would be alive smh WOW
WE'RE IN AN EMERGENCY ‼️🦺
I get that the auto-pilot was off...... but how can that stupid kid, at 15 years old, not try to steer it the other way to try and stabilize it? He's 15 years old, even a 4 year old would know to turn it the other way. Instead he just kept turning the damn wheel? I mean, he was actually the first to find out it was banking. What's worse is all those idiot pilots just sitting there scratching their heads and not take full control of the plane, still letting the kid sit behind the wheel until it was too late. And how the hell were the kids in the pilots seat in the first place?
Hi Tony, I have seen this about a dozen times. The pilots were simply not paying attention. They were standing vertically, talking. When the plane began steeply banking, the G-forces made it impossible for them to reach the pilot's seat. It wasn't the 15 year old holding the yoke to the left. I know that this video is a re-enactment, but the boy actor was having a difficult time returning the steering yoke back to the right to level the wings. That same G-force also didn't let the boy leave the seat he was in. And when the real pilots DID get back in their respective seats, the airplane was already violently out of control. Hence they pulled and pushed hard on the yoke to gain back control. I have never flown anything larger than a 172, weighing just over 1000 lbs. But can you imagine the extreme forces on the controls of an out-of-control 100 ton jet airliner? Like I said, I have never flown anything heavy, but I can imagine that when a large passenger jet is fully under the control of either a human pilot or an auto-pilot, and not gyrating crazily around like this one was, that not a lot of pressure is required to gently turn or climb or descend this heavy mass. But when it is banking 90 degrees, and careening straight up and down, out of control, I imagine that the forces on the yoke are incredible. That was what they were fighting with, not just the slight bank the boy had it in.
The most moronic loss of life I have ever heard of. The minute the pilot even CONSIDERED having his child enter sit in the seat, he should have been escorted from cockpit by the remaining crew.
I think the pilot👨✈️️ should not take off the auto pilot switch🔄. He should not allow Children to fly a commercial airline.
This is the worst I've ever watched so many mistakes by the adults. Father flying the plane authorises children to sit in the first pilots seats
What was he truly thinking and even the co pilot did not stop this. And when the son notifies the plane in holding pattern the father should have jumped back into the seat.
Aeroschrott...
LOOK MUMMY THERE'S AN AEROPLANE UP IN THE SKY !
CAN I PLAY WITH IT PLEASE CAN I ?
I don’t understand this hesitation of the pilots to take control of the aircraft the second something is wrong. I’m not an airline pilot but I have quite a bit if experience with autopilots both in GA and in marine applications. I have had autopilots screw up and do some crazy stuff and also had other issues that overpowered them. My initial reaction is to shut the damn thing off and take control of the aircraft or vessel. Then try to reset it not the opposite. The kids are the least of the concerns, there have been way to many airline accidents and near accidents caused by not immediately taking control when something is not right. I’ve never flown anything even close to the size of an airliner so maybe I don’t understand this, but how the hell did they manage to go from a inverted dive into a 90 degree nose high position? Granted I fly small GA stuff but 2 gs is nothing, and recovering from an inverted dive at that altitude without getting into a damn spin is not difficult. I’m not criticizing the first officers skills I’m just curious why such a simple maneuver is so hard in an airliner? One more thing why is there such hesitation to take manual control when something isn’t right? Seriously!
I'm not a pilot at all and I can tell those pilots were incompetent. Never understood how they just kept putting the nose straight up in the air until it stalled. Weird.
Unbelievable kid in seat pilot why
WHY CHILDREN IN THE CICKPIT
Ooh My Goodness, why the hell did pilot allow kids....jeeez. my Goodness
The first time I saw this, I thought how bad the pilot's choice was. This time I realize how I let my kids see what I do at work.
This event happened at a time of flight when there was little to do. This was the time to show off to the kids. There have been other cases where the autopilot was accidentally disengaged during flight. Due to the way FAA/Manufactures respond, I feel this incident would have happened. Whenever it did, it would have been blamed on the pilot not giving their full attention to the plane and watching for an event that was not expected to occur.
Once he had the place leveled at 22:00 that was it. Why did he need to climb? I guess arm chair quarterbacking.
But why would you let a 15 year old to fly the plane
the interesting thing is that if they just woulfd let the autopilot handle it, everything would ve been ok.
Maybe not on a right route but straight and safe path that they could fix later 👌
Hopefully the company was sued out of business
Its so easy to judge because the pilot let his 15 yr old in the pilot seat, fact when these new Airbusses came out many flights ened in complete disaster. If you watch many Mayday stories you will see that many gave out false readings and other auto pilot problems
AEROFLOP
😊
WTF
The pilots need to know that wow but yet people give Boeing a bad name about the max mcas ....
If it's boeing I'm going if it's Airbus I'll also go ...
how about not letting the kids in the cockpit while the plane is flying, what an incompetent pilot even if they did survived the incident i doubt the pilot would fly a plane ever again
Before 9/11, it was a common practice to let children tour the cockpit during in the middle of a flight.
@@KenKen-ui4ny said who, are you a pilot?
@@leopadh No! That just what some of us, who flew the airlines during the 80's and 90's remember. An other thing they are not allowed to do anymore, that was common back then. Is letting you wait in the concourse in front of the gate, for love ones to get off their flights. Don't forget, when 9/11 happen, that was the day we realized, some of these small extra luxuries we had on passenger planes and at the airport. Made us weak in security while flying.
The father made a very very very bad option and I don’t understand why he thought could fly with no training
I’m talking about the kid having no training like why would you let him
@@lightfight8890 The first officer was the one observing the boy, not his father. And he only let the boy hold the yoke, not intentionally turn it. He used the heading bug on the auto-pilot to turn the yoke so the boy got the sensation he was controlling the plane. I think the real problem happened when the heading bug was quickly re-set by the first officer, otherwise why did the boy say he was having trouble straightening the yoke?
Disgusting
No one , else people ask passenger, go jump!
This was happens just only 4 years posts The USSR brokedown, Aeroflot were too quick in response changed the atmospheres ...while competitor local manufacture aircraft not happy that their businesses portion will soon be taken over by western corporation, business are dirty as such politic
If this was an Airbus shouldn't it have a side stick and not a yolke?

Need new videos an stop deleting important comments. Thanks
So which payment method are you using to donate to the production team to fund the next video? You sure have some strong demands for someone watching this video for free.
@natebarry5553 I don't use any payment method only for the ones that I'm a member too... For the record I said what I said an if you don't like it move around troll... I can say what the fuck I want too an im standing on that.. Start watching them more an you'll see for yourself.
Remember Malaysian Airways plane shot down by the Russians? This accident is karma. No regrets!!
This was in the early 90s.
Do I need to say more.. Russians! 😒
Ukraine sucks too, both Russia and Ukraine are bullsh-t
Another repeat
Then why are you clicking on it? Shouldn't you know by the description? Brutal. What are waiting for another disaster to comment on? Go to bed.
