What started as a seemingly innocent moment of letting kids pretend to fly a plane turned into a tragic disaster.
On March 23, 1994, all 75 passengers and crew on Aeroflot Flight 593 lost their lives in a horrible and preventable plane crash, as reported by the Mirror.
The ill-fated flight from Moscow to Hong Kong was manned by a highly experienced crew: Captain Andrew Viktorovich Danilov, First Officer Igor Vasilyevich Piskaryov, and Relief Captain Yaroslav Vladimirovich Kudrinsky.
These three had logged thousands of flight hours together.
Yet, even their expertise couldn’t prevent the deadly outcome of a costly decision.
