This is a prime example what you will call a "Crash Course" in aviation. Only in a flight simulator you will put a kid in the cockpit not an actual live flight where you got hundreds of people's lives in your hands. You also see the facial expressions of the investigators when they heard the Cockpick voice recorder.
Perhaps the most egregious Karen/Kevin moment of all time: “Dad can I fly the plane please please please?” “Of course you can, son!”
You mean the cockpit?
They didn’t have Microsoft flight simulator back then
Smug Soviets.
@@lukeGGlee i’m pretty sure this is a joke but im gonna inform people: microsoft flight simulator was released in 1982, definitely not as advanced as anything today but it did exist
one of the most stupid accidents to ever happen -_-
I couldn’t agree more
Same
yep
Yea like what was the game plan there you just going to let it keep turning?
15 years old is very young
If the captain was gone play with his kids in the cockpit, atleast he should've watch them more closely... Innocent people died for nothing, because of the captain. First officer should've been like Hell No!
There should have been a warning to the crew that the autopilot has been disengaged. Then the captain would have been able to spot the danger a lot sooner.
Russia has junk planes
@@ANGELSURS It was actually an european made aircraft.
@@Espen_1995 😏
But there’s nothing wrong with everything the pilot did. The autopilot was on so his son couldn’t operate the plane. And although he switched the control to let the plane turn, he turned it back soon so this shouldn’t affect the plane.
One of the few crashes where there was absolutely nothing wrong with the aircraft
Why did it crash?
This is inaccurate. Pilot error tends to make up the majority of aviation accidents and incidents as opposed to mechanical error.
@@vexfvl I know that but what was the cause like did it stall, bank too hard
There’s nothing wrong with the aeroplane in the majority of plane crashes.
@@vexfvl it was banking too hard. The kid wasn’t doing it didn’t you see?????
While seated at the controls, the pilot's son had unknowingly disengaged the A310's autopilot control of the aircraft's ailerons.
Thank you, it just ended and had to go scrolling through the comments
finally, thanks m8
Proof why kids can't fly planes, they're too stupid.
Finally thx
And how do you know that?
2:33 this clip got me dying lmao 💀
Lol me too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cameraman zoomed in the nose bro got The big nose
I ALMOST LAUGHED 💀
Most mind-blowing thing to me apart from the obvious stupidity is that when Eldar noticed and first said the plane was turning, none of the pilots immediately went “Jump out and let me see” They stood and pondered why it was doing that from enough distance that they couldn't get back in their seat when it had reached a nearly 90 degree bank angle.
I remember giving my adult kids driving lessons in my car and drilling home first and foremost “If I say come off - feet up and away off all the pedals” and we practised it so I was sure they knew and wouldn't panic and try hitting the brakes. I could control the car with the gears, handbrake and steering but if they hit the pedals in a panic and rammed the accelerator hard we were screwed so after a few goes, I felt confident and they knew to just feet up and let me take over. This is in a car. Legally. On an quiet road. With L plates.
I can't wrap my head around none of the four pilots going “Jump up let me siddown”
Eldar pushed the yoke too hard for 30 seconds which disabled the autopilot. It was a new safety feature added to the airbus a310 At that time the airbus a310 was new to the pilots and they didn't knew about that feature
When eldar was "controlling" the plane The plane was in autopilot so the pilots knew eldar couldn't do anything The weird thing was when eldar disabled the autopilot no autopilot disconnect alarm sounded So when the plane was turning "by itself" They thought its the autopilot turning it not eldar thats why they were looking at the instruments to see whats wrong instead of taking the seat
Yeah and when they wants to swap the change the decisions was already too late …
@@Radu33- What I'm confused about is how Eldar didn't make the connection that the plane was turning because of his inputs, and once he realized it was banking, why he didn't just turn the yoke left
I agree, it's unreal that the pilot didn't take charge IMMEDIATELY.
I remember sitting on my dads lap while he let me steer. we almost crashed into a garage lol. I was like 4 years old so idk what tf he was thinking. this pilot was crazy.
I have a great solution to prevent a crash like this:
Don't let kids in the cockpit!
Better solution:
Make rules for children to not do something in the cockpit.
Very good solution : ground him
Or perhaps, teach kids how to fly a plane.
Kids should not even be on a plane in the first place .
@@timesaregettingbadpatrickd6207 ...
Though a child or guest should not be in the cockpit, as soon as the son said that the plane is turning left by itself the pilot should have then jumped back in the seat right away.
Indeed
Bro this was years ago
@@GoldenBoyGamer9 that doesn't make it any less bad, he should've known better
Exactly what I was thinking! I was literally screaming in my head "GET IN THE SEAT AND TAKE OVER OMFG" lol
@@GoldenBoyGamer9 why does it matter when it was? 🤡
The autopilot particularly disconnected. It's still controlling the pitch but not Bank. All the pilots had to do was let go of the control coloumn. By doing this the auto pilot will stabilize the plane. It's a safety feature.
bruh so many people died of that safety feature
Sir thank you.
@_Mester Playz_ The feature is good in case of something goes wrong pilots don't have time to shut off auto pilot so they can use the yoke to control it. The autopilot will know something is wrong and gives the manual control to pilots as they can make their decision and save the plane. Imagine a terrain comming in fog, the plane will shout pull up! Pull up! You don't have time to shut off the auto pilot u pull back the yoke and take the control. I'm sorry but the reason for the crash is the pilots didn't know the autopilot was off all they had to do was let go of the yoke then automatically the plane stabilize itself. But u can't blame the pilot he didn't know that this feature exists, back in the days anyone could get in the cockpit there was no strict rules. The crash was caused by stupidity,False training, And most important because the co- pilot also joined in. Like if this was informative.
@DHARMENDRA TRIVEDI Well you better make sure you teach your students how to drive because the last time I check Indians are one of the worst drivers.
you're comment make this video so much more depressing. But I thank you for the facts :D
I kinda feel bad for the kids, because they had no bad intentions, but then again, they shouldn't of been controlling the plane in the first place.
they shouldn´t HAVE been. Please learn basic english !!!
* shouldn't HAVE
I don’t feel bad for anyone in the cockpit. I only feel bad for the passengers who died due to the idiots (yes the kids too) in the cockpit
@@ItoshimiI hate kids.
The family look like a bunch of clowns, but this was no laughing matter, totally shameful.
Another tip : DONT LET YOUR KID CONTROL A PLANE JUST GIVE THE KID A GADGET WITH A FLIGHT SIMULATOR
im not talking about the 90s im talking about not letting the kid control a plane
Fr man, the kid should’ve just pulled out Microsoft Flight Simulator in the 90s
@@apple1524 im 12 yo lol
@@apple1524Only if he brings a laptop into the flight
This kid play Microsoft flight simulator in his pc . So don't worry.
dawg he's dead 💀
The pilot: My son is greater than me!
Microsoft flight sim do exsist in 1994
Haha so funny
You Put this Comment so You able to get Some LIKES
Of course it was reckless, but it's a ridiculous design decision to not give an audible warning when the autopilot partially disengaged.
i love how smithsonian has the its brighter here ending when it comes to tramautizing plane crashes
Moral of the story: never let kids use cockpit controls
Nothing wrong with the aircraft, this is pure human error. Never put your children alone in a control panel.
I think human negligence is a more apt term.
Right mam 😢
Eldar has such a slappable face
lmaoo😂😂
Dude,Despite he looked like a teenager ,his brain was still childish,Imagine being 13 y.o,You go into the cockpit(the pilots were even more idiots),handed teenager cockpit in his hand to play and kill 100 of innocent people.
Isn’t it rude or something ?
Lol
But his father deserve a tight slap!!
Such an imprudence from an experienced crew
I watched another full documentary on this and for the life of me under no circumstance should a child sit and take over controls in a aircraft. It amazed me then the captain didn’t even stay focused when the child had the controls also. Nor did any of the others their speak up the child was encouraged to go to the controls I know we all want are children to know what we do and maybe show them but the logic of this is mind blowing it was unprofessional and against every rule in aviation this pilot killed everyone of those passengers period it’s sad but that’s the truth living or dead this was this crews fault never play with a aircraft.
My issue is the pilot saw something was wrong and didnt immediately get his kid out of the seat
They were all morons that costed everyone's lives
It's such a shame what people will do for their children out of "love". This is an absolute OUTRAGE that so many innocent, unsuspecting people lost their lives over complete foolishness. Shame on that silly pilot for allowing the "love" he had for his children to outweigh any common sense. The terror those passengers went through is unimaginable, SHAMEFUL. God rest their souls
Don't be mean parents show their love and I think this was a simulator so no need to worry because when it crashed it was like a edited explosion
@@storytimewithaizah This was an accident that occurred in reality - the above video is just a recreation of what happened.
@@theunimportantmarshmallow6919 ohh I thought it was a simulator
Worst part is that the last thing the son hears is his father being mad blaming it at him
@@C-Farsene_5 I don't think it upset him for too long
To all you experienced aviators: my understanding is that Eldar unknowingly shut off the autopilot when he turned the yoke to the left. That action also set the ailerons to manual so in effect Eldar was partially flying the plane. Am I understanding that correctly? Thank you ☺️
The story reminds me of my younger brother having an impulse problem.
I remember certain tensity or envy set him off. One time my brother grabbed the wheel of our dad's truck, we were going around 65 and we were in the shoulder of the road in an instant. Another time my brother broke a pedal of our Grandmother's piano. I see it as most people have one decent kid and one little ass. But people tend to love that little ass.
genius question. has your brother been professionally evaluated? could be something deeper then the common asshole
Thats so true
He make have turrets syndrome
The absolutely most ludicrous crash ever. The pilots messed up at every step. Unfrickinbelieveable.
Why the fuck didn't the captain get the kid out of his seat immediately and take control at the first sign of trouble??
When death comes, it doesn't come with a warning. It's almost like a theatrical show, it happens by itself. The pilot could have gotten back in the seat immediately, but I believe it was their fate which they couldn't change and were too distracted to take immediate action.
When Eldar pushed controller hard to the left, previously turned auto-pilot went off, he disconnected it, so basically, 15yo was flying real plane by himself...
That's worse than letting a kid play with a loaded gun 🤦
Honestly..kills more lives than a loaded gun
Meanwhile Eldar is sitting there pushing buttons and pulling levers like there is no tomorrow.
There literally _was_ no tomorrow for everyone on board.
00:51 that’s when the captain 👨✈️ should have told Eldar to move and sat back in the pilot seat immediately.
You guys need to watch Qxir's video on this incident. It shows the insane turns, flips, and dives this plane took during the corkscrew drop that would have you vomiting, pissing and shitting yourself if you were on this plane lol such an avoidable accident tho.

Yeah what's the link?

I like how every Smithsonian ending says it's brighter here after every plane crash
- brutal explosion, with no survivors
- cheery music
Lol Smithsonian likes making things look silly or greedy people
Keep up the good work guys!!! These are so interesting!!
Hey Willy
@@taylorh2192 UM!
Yes, Dad and Son always keep it up.
for a second i thought you meant that for the people who crashed the plane i was so worried
I can not piece why his own father would let a teen into the cockpit, when hundreds of people are onboard.
I can't fathom it either. What a terrible thing for the father to do.
@@kazamshah4543 You are correct. Crazy people.
Wow! That kid is so good at flying! 👍👍👍👍👍
Well atleast you're joking 🙃
The person who putt he orange juice back in the storage is a bitfunny lol
Daft thing to do when you're about to die
Pilots ALWAYS HAVE KIDS IN COCKPIT, ALWAYS FLY DRUNK, ALWAYS FLY TIRED
first 2 are for aeroflot only, last one is probably true
Reverse survivorship bias
Edit:(it still survivorship bias)
Tbf pilot dont have much free time let alone rest time
Great job Eldar!
If the Captain wanted to show off the plane to his kids, he should have done it before departure
2:34 BRO CHILL
I once flew in a lite two seater with a friend who is a trained pilot; he took us up to two thousand feet, set a course parallel to the Western Australian coastline near Bunbury and told me to have a go. I'd flown Flight Simulators for years by then but was still in awe of taking control of a craft of that size at three thousand feet over the Indian ocean. So I held the stick for a while not even daring to attempt a turn until he told me to. Then he took back the control and executed a high wing, powered turn that scared the crap out of me, and next was asking me to have a go at the same thing. My chuckled response was no-way, no-chance, no-thanks. Lol 😆!!
"so you say you want to be pilot, shame, maybe in the next life... Maybe in the next life". Lolll
Imagine dying because some idiot pilot let his teenage kid play with the plane you're on
The family looked like a bunch of clowns in this video.
The family should not be allowed in a flight that has their close relatives as pilot on that flight
"...and there's nothing anyone can do"😭💔
Holy hell, in this case for real! It's hard to believe how immature and unprofessional the pilot is this is unreal, feel so bad for the passengers who had to die for the most stupid mistake made by an unprofessional pilot.
Hey chill out, the pilot didnt want this to happen too get calm

This is the best dramatization i have seen of this event. Helped me understand better what could have possibly happened in this flight.
Nah. This could have been accomplished with using g i joes.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...
Good job👏👏, all pilots keep it up with this example😤😤
I can't believe the captain didn't get back on the seat immediately noticing the bank
Son to Dad, are we going in the heaven?
Dad: Yes my son we trying best.
little timmy always played call of duty as a kid, guess he just wanted to get a real life 200/1 kdr.
The pilot probably thought he could get away with letting his kid “fly” the plane by letting him just turn the yolk the same way the computer was already moving it . AKA he put too much trust in the Autopilot. This is already bad if your stupid enough to let your kid get in the pilots seat AT LEAST when the plane started experiencing issues you tell the damn kid to get the fuck up so you can sit down and figure it out.
I am still investigating this
Aeroflop Airlines. I don’t remember hearing about this crash when it happened (at the time it wouldn’t have been big news outside Russia or Hong Kong), but I happened to be on a college trip to Saint Petersburg a couple of months later when the investigators released their findings and read about it in the English language version of the newspaper there. We were so happy that we’d flown on FinnAir instead.
A few years later I was in Seattle and there was an Aeroflot flight that kept missing the runway and having to climb out of the descent and circle back and try again until they finally got it down safely. Obviously a happier outcome but just as obviously not acceptable.
He shut off the autopilot, a really easy fix would be to simply let go of the controls and the plane would stabilise the bank but none of the pilots even thought to make the kid get out of the seat. There is a reason pilots NEVER should let anyone inside the cockpit NO MATTER WHO IT IS.
OP Bro
Have a feeling he must have been doing something with the rudders because nothing seemed out of the ordinary
continuously applying force on the column for 30 seconds partially disengaged the auto-pilot. The kid was unknowingly controlling the ailerons and the plane started to bank. The pilots didn't know this would only be indicated by a light signal but no sound (unlike soviet aircrafts which they were more familiar with). The report points that the pilots were insufficiently trained.
@@fangio92 Alright
Why even let the kid try to FLY :/
SUCH A HORRIBLE CHOICE IT COST PEOPLE THEIR LIVES RIP TO THOSE WHO PASSED MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILIES 😢
Really upset to see the thing that you hand over a huge responsibility of the lives of passengers to the hands of kid.
The Tag line is ridiculous. Why did the pilot let his children in the cockpit. Obviously so that it shall crash 😂
Good going, Eldar
that is very brutal
Kids, that's why you don't go in the cockpit until you are qualified to even BE in that cockpit.
Legs were on the rudder which made the plane bank
It was because the autopilot disconnected without anyone knowing
Rip Eldar
darwin award winners.
That’s so sad
Best Trojan ad there is
Ah yes, let me put my, underaged and unexperienced son who knows nothing about planes into the pilot seat. Sounds safe.
2:33
Was that view necessary
A bus driver would never let their little kid with no license, drive their bus full of passengers. The ironic thing is that a plane 35,000 feet up in the air feels so much safer and inconsequential that a kid sit at the controls for a little bit. That’s the danger of an Auto Pilot control. Makes pilots complicit and believe everything is in control.
Poor plane 😢
If I see a kid entering the cockpit, or Tom Hanks on the same flight as me, then I know I'm in deep trouble.
When take your kids to work day goes horribly wrong
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS
This has to be one of the most stupid cases of negligence I have ever seen. If I was aware that a pilot decided to let their kids take control of the yoke, let alone be in the cockpit I would be slamming on the cockpit door to try and get the pilot to see sense.
Why on earth would you let this happen with your children, you have to set rules for this
When "Bring Your Kid to Work Day" goes horribly wrong.
As commented below, the reaction to the anomaly was not immediately to swap places, which must have been the cause to the catastrophe.
the cause of the catastrophe was failure to adhere to SOPs. You don't let your kids fly planes full of passengers.
The high G-loads made it difficult for anyone to move.
If you brought your kid to the cockpit today when in the air, you’d be out of a job upon landing at the airport
Typical Russia, crazy and corrupt.
Oh boy
Really? Letting a child into the cockpit? That shouldn't ever be allowed.
This is one of the worst ways to die..... 😔😔😔
So basically the autopilot simply disengages itself when something goes wrong? This is hilarious
No🤦🏻♂️
Full episode please?
What a dumb way to die. Pure negligence by the Pilot who was trying to show off.
Rip
GUYS?!?! lmfao
Oh Eldar you silly boy.
Bringing your kids to work is one thing, but this here is somm'n else!
“You ever been in a cockpit before?”
Amazingly they are all happy to leave eldar in the capital seat and controls
Incredible acting
😂 Yeah right!
Dumb captain thinks a airplane is a toy
Don’t let kids in the cockpit, I thought it was common sense 😑😑😑
Never let children drive the plane
