The decision to let the kids in the cockpit cost the lives of all 75 passengers

On March 23, 1994, an ill-fated decision aboard Aeroflot Flight 593 turned a routine flight into a catastrophic disaster—all due to a father’s attempt to create a special moment for his children.

The fatal mistake resulted in the crash of the Airbus A310 in the Siberian wilderness, claiming the lives of all 75 passengers and crew on board.

A Father’s Fatal Misjudgment

Relief Captain Yaroslav Kudrinsky, an experienced pilot, was operating Flight 593 en route from Moscow to Hong Kong. Wanting to share the thrill of aviation with his children, Yana (13) and Eldar (15), he made a tragic miscalculation—allowing them into the cockpit mid-flight.

With the autopilot engaged, Kudrinsky permitted Eldar to sit in the pilot’s seat and experience the controls firsthand.

What he didn’t realize was that Eldar’s prolonged pressure on the yoke overrode the autopilot’s commands, effectively switching the aircraft into manual control.

A Silent Descent Into Disaster

As the aircraft unknowingly shifted out of autopilot, the plane began rolling to the right.

At first, the crew failed to notice the deviation, but within seconds, the aircraft tilted beyond safe limits, entering a steep, uncontrolled bank.

By the time the cockpit crew realized the danger, the plane was in a catastrophic spiral, descending nearly 16,000 feet per minute toward the remote Siberian terrain.

Desperate efforts were made to regain control, but at 12:57 AM, Aeroflot Flight 593 crashed into the rugged hills of Mezhdurechensk, Russia.

No one survived.
