The pilot should have taken control the moment his son reported that it's turning to the left abnormally. Pilot is responsible for the fatal crash

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Unbelievable . Letting a child control a modern plane. Maybe, if he would have retaken controls as soon as the mishap started, but, it never should have started. Very sad results.

[@TheCanadianCommunist]

This is like one of those if it was not recorded no one would actually believe this

[@davidrobertson3930]

It wasn't a misfortune or an accident and the pilots aren't HERO'S and in their stupidity they murdered all the passengers.

[@purple_85]

Wow!!! All to impress your teenage children. How reckless.

Those poor unsuspecting passengers in the hands of an irresponsible pilot and his kids .So sad .Innocent lives lost 🥲

[@jasonslowiak7546]

You can't really place blame on someone who wasn't trained or informed on how to completely use the autopilot or know that you can still operate functions of the airplane while the autopilot was operating. This is the fault Aeroflot or even Airbus depending on if Airbus informed Aeroflot of this function or if it was Aeroflot not training their pilots in the simulator on this function. I don't blame him for wanting to show his kids what he does so they can get a thrill! I might have done the same I mean I doubt I'd let my daughter sit in the seat and manipulate the console but I understand why he did it! It's just sad. You can see even the copilot doesn't know how to handle the issue either so it's universal! God bless them all

[@muchluck7981]

@@RedRoses199 technically it was just the son that actually turned the plane. The daughter merely rested her hands on the controls and the son was the one who turned the way he did. But even if the kids were not there, the fact that the autopilot could disengage like that is just terrifying. And nobody was made aware of it? That was just a timebomb waiting to happen

[@mitty361]

Yeah but if the kid wasn’t there in the first place it would of never happened and those people would be alive today.That’s the bottom line, no excuse’s

exactly! people payed ticket and trusted that they will be driven by pilots, not kids! shocking! no excuses!

[@waynesutton9089]

It's sad but true

[@MrLabtec70]

100% agree... it's not surprising to see how these Russian pilots are finding all possible excuses and pointing fingers to the plane itself

[@MysticalJessica]

It would probably happen at some point that the pilots of another flight maybe would discover by accident the autopilot disconnects if you push it for 30 seconds but in that case the pilot would've been in his seat and taken precautions and leveled the plane! It wasn't such a fault that would cost lives if it wasn't for the kid sitting in the chair but on the other hand it's not like the pilot said here you go son, you fly the plane for real and let's see where you can get it! He thought of fooling the kids a bit for fun and for inspiration! He shouldn't have done it of course! At the end of the day this is one of the ways society learns and advances since prehistoric times the guy who ate the poisoned mushroom or fruit and died showed the others what to avoid eating! It's unbelievable how easily people could just go into the cockpit and hijack a plane before 9/11. Twin towers had to come down for people to finally take measures!

[@melplishka5978]

The sons inputs confused the autopilot so the auto pilot went into partial mode where the sons inputs do have bearing. Unfortunately it caused even more confusion.

[@colemonroe1846]

Agreed, he held in a position long enough to where the ailerons disconnected with barely any warning, and when the pilots first spotted the problem, it was turning sharply to the point where an arc showed up on one of the systems, which caused confusion. Although he allowed this to happen, it is totally not his fault as he didn’t know either the autopilot could partially disconnect nor that letting go would solve the problem

[@tadejau3325]

this was gigantic betreyal of pasingers, they did not pay to be driven by kids, not even for a minute!

[@belligerentapj3685]

It's not just a lesson for the aviation industry, it's a lesson for all of us. If the health and well being is a responsibility of yours, no matter how exceptional you are, no matter how many people you have beaten to earn your powers, it is not your choice to jeopardize on your responsibility by believing on your knowledge. There will always be things unknown and out of our hands. And sometimes, improbable events like this would eventually take shape if done so.

[@yourfuneraldirector6432]

Terrible airmanship

[@calvind98362]

If the plane had somehow landed safely, the entire crew would have spent the rest of their lives in a Siberian Prison camp!

[@riverraisin1]

@GencoSchmar 7 As the Russian mob and cyber-criminals took over.

[@Russianfineart]

Nope. Even if it happened today. Some prison sentence and paroled in 4-5 years. I wouldn't be surprised, if they would be allowed to go back to fly planes. There was a mid-air collision in USSR. 1979. The whole famous football squad "Pakhtakor" got killed among 178 people on both planes. The strongest football team in Central Asia at that time. A national tragedy. It was an air traffic controller's mistake. He was sentenced to 15 years in a penal colony (! not a prison), but served only 6. The chief controller on duty that day, was not prosecuted. And that was the USSR strict society that had a death penalty and the list one could get it -- is endless ! He killed 178 people and ... got 6 years ???

[@triciaalcazar5298]

This is unbelievable 😮I can’t believe they allow a child to fly a commercial jet? This was not their private plane😮I cannot comprehend this scenario😮It’s one thing to show them around the cockpit but they should not be allowed to sit in the chair and touch the control! It wasn’t an accident it was reckless😢

[@trombone113]

If I remember correctly, there was another Russian pilot that let his kid into the pilots seat, but that plane actually crashed into another plane and blew up. I don't know why I am remembering that. Perhaps I am confusing this flight with another one thinking it was one flight. But I don't think so. 🤔

[@Redskinno1]

Why the first officer couldn’t just disengage the auto pilot and take controls manually

[@colemonroe1846]

There early confusion distracted them to the point where the autopilot just disconnected all together and put them in control

[@nadinejackson3740]

Yes, it was a mistake, and I'm sure the pilot never expected this disaster. But what was he thinking?? It just smacks of unprofessionalism. And those other unsuspecting passengers, paid with their lives. The father at the end was so forgiving. I'm not sure I could be.

[@ausjen]

How appalling! If the pilot wanted to give his spoilt, privileged kids a turn at flying, he should've chartered a private plane, with NO passengers

[@tadejau3325]

this was a complete betreyal of pasingers. they did not pay to be driven by kids. if before take off anyone would told them the kids will drive, im sure the plane would take off empty.

[@krazzyk848]

I just can't get my head around the share stupidity of this decision to let a child at the controls of a airplane 🛬 absolute bonkers

[@EaglesFan202]

One of aeroflots most avoidable crash cause most of the time aeroflot crashes are put down to pilot error or poor pilot training leading towards pilot error or hijacking’s or pilots becoming incapacitated from drinking too much vodka

[@veronicamckenzie3711]

if there's kids in the cockpit they should keep hands in pockets or arms crossed. especially as the boy was tired, it's more likely that they would knock something. As a pilot having anyone else touch the controls would make me panic so hard. I don't know if their life in Russia had relaxed rules allowing this sort of thing in their past, but to me allowing anyone else in the cockpit seems like a steep risk to me.

[@veronicamckenzie3711]

Also when I first heard this story I was given misinformation that resulted in me thinking that it was his son, a pilot in training who had flown small private plans successfully with his father, So i thought having his son in the cockpit was a bit more understandable, Now I know the truth...

[@slagarcrue85]

You never let kids handle such machinery yet alone some one that doesn’t have a pilots license at all our other flight experience.

[@devonselvie2260]

That child should have never been at the controls. Especially with passengers on board

[@arober9758]

Very good job fellows!! Congratulations. The sons inputs confused the autopilot so the auto pilot went into partial mode where the sons inputs do have bearing. Unfortunately it caused even more confusion.

[@Ryvaken]

That's one reason I favor Boeing over Airbus. Boeing's philosophy is for the computers to make as much information available to the pilot as possible, to minimize human error. Airbus prefers to give the autopilot as much authority as they can, because it won't make human errors. Airbus underestimates the ability of humans and computers alike to make errors.

[@riverraisin1]

Still doesn't explain why such seasoned pilots were over-correcting dives and climbs and unaware of their altitude when they crashed.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Thank you for typing some of the questions I had in my head as well. Also, the kid said that the plane was turning itself AFTER the auto-pilot had partly turned off. So why wasn’t the plane responding when there was an attempt to straighten the plane by turning it in the opposite direction?

[@kevinmalone3210]

​@@anti-ethniccleansing465I think the kid was still turning the control yoke to the right, and the co pilot was turning it to the left.

[@mustafaakbar2727]

why couldn't the first officer take control of the plane when it was banking and he stalled it by climbing too fast .why didn't he just climb normally the kid actually told them bout the bank angle in the first place

[@Bird1964]

I typically don't like to accuse anyone but this is a crystal clear case, that pilot was res by letting his son take control. I can see just sitting in the pilot's seat for excitement and photo opps but in the air?! Never. I understand his heart was in the right place but there's no way to blame anyone but him. I have seen this before and I still feel that same way.

@@DawgPound86 They obviously meant “surviving families.” For example, when someone dies, the newspaper’s obituary will say that the deceased “is survived by their mother and husband.” Clearly if someone survived the crash, payout money would go straight to them, not to their families - so that’s why it’s obvious the OP simply had a small grammar error is all.

Kids can be reckless, so it's not a good idea to let your children fly a plane let alone let him be temporarily responsible of the lives of the people. Perhaps in a simulator, but don't let them fly a real plane if they don't have enough experience.

The fine folks producing these shows have pretty much covered nearly all the major air accidents. They’ve also produced episodes on many lesser known accidents. That’s says something about the level of research they’ve done. With that said, the only way they can produce more episodes is to wait for another air accident to occur.

This is the worst episode of this show I've seen so far. I've watched breakdowns of CVR on other channels and this seems to confuse it and interpret it much differently. They dumbed it down too much, which was unnecessary. It just makes everyone on the flight deck seem like total morons so that you want to yell at the screen. (They were morons for what they allowed to happen, but I don't mean it in that way.) They're too focused on how heavy everyone's body seemed during the "descent." Just not a good effort on this one.
