Video reconstructed plane crash in Cuba

Voice recordings Aerocaribbean the fateful flight that crashed with 68 people aboard in central Cuba, contained in a video on the reconstruction of the tragedy that flows from this week on the Internet.

The video, of just over six minutes, graphically reconstructs the flight of the ATR 72-212 aircraft on November 4, and shows a simulation of the instrument panel how the pilots would have detected the first signs of frostbite.

The recording that accompanies the computerized reconstruction of the accident appears to have been recovered from the black box. Here you can listen to the last words of the pilots realize that the plane would crash.

"Everything indicates that the recordings are authentic black box," said Anibal Caballero, a former pilot of the Cuban air force. "I was shocked to hear the voices of the pilots, because they are the latest reactions of men who know they will die."

A Cuban official blog on Wednesday confirmed the authenticity of the video and the recording and said the accident reconstruction was done by Cuban experts.

"Hey pussy, this is over, you heard," he tells one another, who replies: "Yes, my friend was over this." "Remove engines, engine off" and "stick with those palms" are the last words he heard.

According to the recording, the aircraft lost 20 to 10 thousand meters in just 52 seconds.

"The emergency lasts only four minutes, which is enough time to freeze the plane," said Knight, who lives in Miami.

Icing condition

The report by the Cuban authorities on the causes of air disaster revealed "This flight was developing normally until severe weather occurred on the road, following which the aircraft entered a severe icing condition (high concentration of ice) up to 20 000 feet (36 meters 6000 ), which together with crew error in handling the situation, caused the accident itself. "

The statement of the Institute of Civil Aeronautics of Cuba (IACC) was released on 15 December but has not yet disclosed the full report of the technical investigation.

However, the possible leakage of the contents of the black box marks the first time that the data in a plane crash in Cuba are known in the outside before being officially submitted.

Knight believes that in this case influenced participation in research aircraft manufacturers, the Italian-French company Avions de Transport Regional (ATR) and the fact that the dead included 28 foreigners of 10 nationalities.

On the flight 883 of Aerocaribbean, covering the Santiago de Cuba, Havana, traveled 61 passengers and seven crew, 40 of them Cubans. The plane crashed in a rural area near Sancti Spiritus. There were no survivors.
