My favorite show as a kid. Best sound effects ever! Maybe we could do a remake but instead have a Muslim as Colonel Muhammed al Stinn. He gets rebuilt and uses his bionic powers to kill infidels.

“Allah” is a pre-Islamic word for “God” among the Christians of the Middle East.

Well now it means "Nazi Moon God".

?
I am confused. Is the article saying those were the words of the pilots?
OR that it would be so hard to hear words of the pilots is they were saying alluha ackbar?

I believe in that case they would have possibly said “Inshallah” which I think means “It’s God’s will.”

But I could be wrong.

If they were under tremendous pressure, they might have said the only thing that came to mind.

Is there a point to your question?

A friend of mine lost both of his parents on that Egypt Air Flight. He and his brother refused to settle and fought for six years to get the Egyptian government to admit it was an act of terrorism. Initially the NTSB was in charge of the investigation but once the flight data and cockpit audio recorders revealed there was a struggle between the pilot and co-pilot leading to an intentional crash, the Egyptian government kicked the US out of the investigation under international law. In that case the co-pilot that put the plane into the nose dive was chanting Allah Akbar.

I have copies of the CVR transcript printed in the NTSB Reporter ... the B767 has a split elevator which needs a certain force to cause it to split. The PIC was pulling back on it while the FO was pushing it forward to dive the plane ....

Agree. What if, in this case, it was their equivalent of “oh my God, oh my God”

Need to team the recording up with the flight data recorder to know for sure.

Yes, the placement of the apostrophe matters in determining whether the author is referencing the pilot or multiple pilots in a general statement.

Not knowing the acronyms you’ve used I assume PIC is Pilot In Command and no Idea what FO is Flight Officer? Your account is exactly as it came out in the lawsuit and part of what the Egyptian government had to admit. One pilot pushing forward one pulling back.

Sorry - yeah, PIC = Pilot In Command (can be either depending on who’s the flying pilot) and FO is First Officer formally known as the co-pilot .... an FO can be the PIC while flying a leg or on take-off or landing ....

It’s the dumbest question I’ve ever been asked. The apostrophe indicated multiple pilots. There were two pilots on the downed plane. Any black box recording of the last words of one would also contain the last words of the other. Thus an apostrophe indicating multiple pilots’—i.e.: two—last words.

If you have a bone to pick it is with the headline, not with me. All I did was point out the headline. All you have done is waste my time.

Read the linked article people...the investigator mentioned has not heard the AirAsia QZ 8501 CVR audio yet....he is talking “in general”.

I typically answer my pings. Rarely, rarely, though, I have been pinged with such clueless posts as yours.

And now, having had the nonsense of your original ping pointed out to you, the best you can do is an attempted childish insult. Classier would have been to admit your first ping to me was exactly what I called it—a waste of time.
