Aeroflot Flight 593 was a regular passenger flight from Sheremetyevo International Airport, Moscow, Russia, to Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. On 23 March 1994, the aircraft operating the route, an Airbus A310-304 flown by Aeroflot, crashed into the Kuznetsk Alatau mountain range in Kemerovo Oblast, killing all 63 passengers and 12 crew members on board. The investigators found, to their horror, that the children of the pilot was present in the cockpit when the aircraft crashed.
In this video I will tell you the full story about what happened.

  • My dad once told me his story where he was a little boy on an aircraft (that was in soviet union) and before the flight started the door to the cockpit was open. He curiously looked inside and pilot noticed it and invited him inside. My dad spend the whole flight inside and even seated on the pilots laps with his hands on the yoke. I felt that it is such a wholesome story but now i realise how dangerous this was.

    @aniethingy@aniethingy6 ай бұрын
    • Slightly different sitting on the lap though. For me the weordest thing is that as soon as the kids were sat fown I would have been on 110% high alert if I had been the pilot monitoring, let alone the captain. And as soon as something didn't go EXACTLY as expected I would have under no uncertain terms told the kid to let go and leave the seat. It's absolutely mind blowing to me that they managed to even begin to overshoot their selected heading. That's the big thing for me in this incident... like... how tf could they let themselves lose situational awareness with a frikkin 16yo in the hotseat?

The pilot was still in control the whole time and your dad would not have been able to make any changes or inputs without the pilot feeling it or otherwise noticing.

    • I think this is about a pilots ego than love for his children. I suspect this pilot is a braggart and a show off. On that day it just happens that his kids were the recipient of it. This is not about a father's love for his children and I resent any implication that it is. A father who loves his children would never allow them to sit in the pilots seat of an airline that is airborne. Because you know kids they accidentally touch things. Matter of fact if I was 12 and my father said come sit in the seat of an airline that is in the clouds . I would be too terrified to do it

    • Depends who is listening to it. I'm sure most people were horrified, but that there were probably some people that were greatly relieved that they may not be sued (Airbus for instance, or the maintenance crew for the airplane, since it wasn't a failure of the Airplane itself). I absolutely can't imagine this, but it was from another time too that I wasn't a part of. A time when kids were allowed into Cockpits all the time and they seem to let them sit in the pilot's chair too - though not touch the controls, so stupid to do. And the co-pilot is just going to sit back and relax while they're doing this? Damn, move your seat forward, at least! And someone slap that kid in the head and get him to let go of the controls! That they ever allowed kids to jump in the seat is really bad, even if they're not touching anything - accidents happen! It's not a friggin toy! As Ren and my Grandfather would say: Cripes!

And because he was very appreciated in the company me and my little brother were often invited into the cockpit when we had to take a flight (this was before 9/11, in a time when this was still possible). And while we were allowed inside the cockpit, not a single time were we allowed to come even close to the controls of the aircraft. We were there to watch, not touch, and both my father and the pilots were very clear about it. Thus, what happened in this accident leaves me completely speechless...

    • I'm not defending the Captain in any way, but it is important to note that the captain believed that the Auto Pilot was flying the plane and his children were handling controls that merely felt as if they were flying, like handing a child a controller that isn't plugged in kind of thing. None of the flight crew was aware that the teenage boy's inputs partically disabled the auto pilot to allow this to happen. It is very tragic, but it isn't quite as irresponsible as if the captain _knew_ this could happen.

Telling his son to "hold" was the exactly worst thing he could've done. Then after the son would've let go, the co-pilot could've taken over and corrected the situation before it spun [no pun intended] completely out of control.

Even Sully: Reading the CVR transcript, you might’ve thought that ordeal took 15 or more minutes with all of the checklists and communication the pilots executed when in fact it was barely 5 minutes from takeoff to landing in the Hudson. The amount of multitasking and prioritizing and recalling information pilots do is nothing short of impressive. Sad that they weren’t able to recover their aircraft in the Aeroflot case.

I was not even related or whatever. Afaik it was a fairly common practice.

I was *never* allowed to sit in either pilot's seat in the air, or even on the ground once business was under way (for example, once passengers were boarding, or pre-flight checks needed to be done). I was absolutely forbidden from touching *anything*, and during critical portions of the flight (from joining the runway until the fasten seat belt signs were switched off, if either of them needed to speak to ATC, and again during final descent and landing) I was absolutely forbidden from speaking.

    • I did have a proud moment one day when I noticed something was broken which neither of them had noticed... we were on a charter flight from Toronto, Canada to Sarasota, Florida. The aircraft was a 737-200. About 2/3 of the way through the cruise, I noticed that the standby artificial horizon was not working. It was indicating a significant bank to starboard, about 20º, when we were most definitely straight and level, as both primary artificial horizons and our own eyes out of the windows all agreed. OK, not a very critical fault, but I was very pleased with myself for spotting it before my Dad or the captain did (should have been my Dad really, since the standby horizon was quite low down on the right, so much more in his line of sight rather than the captain's). 🙂 The other notable incident I remember was a birdstrike on the cockpit window on approach into Charlottetown. It wasn't a very large bird, and no damage was done, but it definitely made a mess and caused some issues for the captain's visibility. Birds definitely go "splat" rather than bounce off when they're hit at that sort of speed...

To my surprise not only did they say yes, but an air stewardess escorted me just a few minutes later, while at cruising altitude to the cockpit! It was AMAZING. Now they said: "you can only go up to this point, ok?" I was in awe, so I just nodded while looking at that amazing aircraft. After having the view of a lifetime, I was then escorted back to my seat and got one of those replicas of one of the airline's airplanes. Best flight EVER! It was on Brazilian airline Varig.

  • Well, thanks for this magnificent video. As a little boy between age 5 and 8 I actually visited cockpits during North Atlantic flights sevral times. The pilot(s) would let me stand say a step behind the middle console and watch. They would explain a bit about the many many dials and switches. And, yes, once a pilot demontrated a very gentle turn, possibly being part of the regular filght path. It was absolutely fascinating. All of them were generously responding to whatever question I had. Never ever anyone let me touch or move any switch, dial or the like. Aparently they acted very responsible while still giving me a fantastic insight into the world of aviation. (all of it prior to 9/11)

Then, the guy next to him, who was a pilot, said, "You don't understand how hard that maneuver is. Those jets are not nimble, the fact that the pilot pulled that off is incredible."

  • I remember when I was around 9, I was flying back to Brazil from Chile with my father (we had gone to Chile to visit grandpa) and on that flight, not sure if it was my dad's request or if the flight attendants simply took notice that I was a curious child, but anyway, they asked me if I would like to check the cockpit out while we were still flying. I immediately accepted and I still have this clear memory of standing at the entrance of the cockpit and the pilots smiling at me while they made small talk. I've always been curious, but skittish of new things, so even in the impossible scenario of them asking me if I'd like to sit on their chair, I'm fairly confident I would have refused due to my nature. This was around 1999 so before 9/11 btw. The fact that this father made a fatal mistake just because he wanted to be the "cool" dad for a few minutes is one of the most irresponsible things I've seen.

We sat in the first row behind business class on the right side, I sat in the seat by door R2. During the flight, my dad asked one of the flight attendants if I could visit the cockpit and was given permission (it was only a very short glance around visit). When we landed, we disembarked via L1 via the stairs and I will never forget the background music that was playing via the PA; it was the POPCORN song...and the flight attendant that stood in the aisle with her arms crossed and tapping her foot to the tune, waiting for business passengers to disembark before letting us (from economy) out. Everytime I hear that tune anywhere, my first thoughts are the Aeroflot A310.

Joined with your lovley armchair tale delivery. I've become hooked! Hooked on your channel 😅 Nobody does it like you guys. I've looked! Checked out some other other aviation story channels. They don't touch your work. So... keep up the brilliant work. We need new stories. 🎉👏👊

  • I remember when I was a kid I was offered to sit in the pilots seat for a shuttle flight in a little Cessna. I distinctly remember turning the pilots down because my parents always got mad at me for messing with things in the car and I had vague notion that touching other peoples buttons would get me in trouble. Hearing about this as an adult is downright chilling.

    • They never should have offered that. But even so, just sitting in the seat and sitting in the seat while actually putting your hands on the controls are very different things. Still, I'm very disturbed that this ever happened, even if it doesn't anymore (Has it stopped? Does it still happen?) I don't care if the controls are switched over to the co-pilot, I don't want kids ever in the pilot seat of a plane. I don't want anybody in the seat who isn't a trained pilot, but especially kids. I get that they aren't supposed to have people in the cockpit anyway now, but it's really ridiculous that they used to do this. It is "used to" now, right?

    • When I was little, I visited some very extended family in another country. They had a really nice Mercedes (for the time) and I asked if I could sit in the drivers seat and play. They said, "sure, but don't push any buttons." I pushed THE button which was some emergency after-market "help I'm being car-jacked" alarm and my grandmother beat my ass. Don't put kids in these situations.

All of the pilots in the cockpit should have known better and done better. This situation is saddening.

  • My mom was a flight attendant in the early 80s, and I remember getting to see the cockpit pretty regularly when flying with her as a kid. The pilots even had little stick-on pilot wings to give out to visiting children. But…it was always after the end of the flight…at the gate, and obviously not in the seat or anywhere near the controls.

    • I remember those wing pins! I had a collection from traveling extensively as a child. Remember those bags with all the goodies? Crayons, coloring books, little stuffed animals, chocolate and comic books? On the Concorde they gave us a really cool bag of stuff it had little slippers and a miniature model plane and chocolate coins and my mom still has them somewhere in a box in her attic. Not the coins, we ate those. And they gave us little pillows for sleeping with blankets and slippers. We got to visit the cockpit during the flight. We always asked to meet the pilots. Sometimes they allowed us in during the flight (the long 16+ hour ones, when most people were asleep or things were very quiet) and sometimes after the plane landed. I loved flying in the 70s into the 80s. Flying was fun and comfortable back then. It totally sucks now. I won't fly anymore. I drove from Key West to Beverly Hills and up to PA from the keys and across from California to and from the East coast and then down to the southernmost point multiple times because that's how much I hate to fly. In fact, one of the last flights I took was on British Air and everyone was smoking, including me. Even if you didn't smoke you were smoking, if you know what I mean. Cough. And the food was really good back then, too. Now it's inedible slop. I flew to S. America last year after decades of not flying and paid for a first class ticket on 2 flights. One to San Jose and one to Bogota. Bogota cost over 1000 compared to San Jose for less than 300. I ate and drank unlimited on American in first class. Bogota same length less than 3 hours and both in the early evening. Avianca gave me a pathetic little bag they called a snack and a tiny bottle of water. No dinner! Only water to drink. I had 2 dinners and lots more on American. So I pitched a fit and turned around and said to everyone else in first class "How much did we pay for our tickets and they give us a tiny bag of.. bird food?! I don't even know what that was. Not pretzels, not chips. Looked liked the monkey biscuits I used to feed chickens. I hate flying now. Never flying again, I'm done.

I can't wrap my mind around a sane person asking their children to "play at flying" in a commercial flight mid flight. Unbelievable! I can't.

  • That is so petrifying. I cannot believe how long the captain kept this going with his kids. Why did the captain not take over the steering wheel when there was trouble, literally at the very second of trouble. Why did he think his son knew what he was doing? If I was his son, I would have jumped out of the seat and told him, “dad you take over”. God, it was almost 1 o’clock in the morning, should have had the kids fast asleep. 😔 Rest in peace.

This was 100% the fault of the backup CPT and the 1st officer and the passenger pilot for even allowing a child to take control of an airplane. It's probably a good thing that the pilots died because otherwise, I would hope they would be in prison for the rest of their lives and I hope the airline paid out some very hefty restitution to the families of those that perished that day.
