She was falling 27,000 feet in a minute in an iced-up jet. In about 35 seconds she declared a mayday, gave her tail number, descent rate, overspeed and a 60-degree bank. That's the job. Then she died with eight other people, and you're grading her tone. Fuck you.
A pilot should not:
🔘become hysterical
🔘speak too quickly to be intelligible
🔘say, "We're going to crash into the ground!"
🔘scream like a little girl
🔘hyperventilate
🔘scream like a little girl again
A pilot needs a certain disposition. This is not it. That's the reality.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The aircraft was in an uncontrolled overspeed dive exceeding 20,000 ft/min from cruising altitude. Expecting calm is unrealistic; male pilots have screamed in CVRs facing death, e.g. Western 2605.

【緊急要請①】～国民のみなさまへ～
国難級の災害では、行政だけによる対応には限界があります。
家具の固定、水・食料・携帯用トイレの備蓄、避難経路の確認、防災訓練への参加等、一人ひとりが「自らの命は自ら守る」ことを意識しながら災害への備えを心がけましょう。bousai.go.jp/juyou/emergency…

El-Sayed: None of this matters. You know what matters? There are families who are preparing to send their kids to schools tomorrow that look like they did 50 years ago. They're worried about what they're going to feed their kids for lunch. They're worried that if one of their kids gets sick, they're not going to be able to pay the bills. Those are the things that matter.
