Invocations (long) cannot be called by DrPawn because DrPawn is not privileged - sorry.

First his daughter Yana took the pilot's left front seat. Kudrinsky adjusted the autopilot's heading to give her the impression that she was turning the plane, though she actually had no control of the plane. Next, his son Eldar Kudrinsky (Russian: Эльдар Кудринский) took the pilot's seat. Unlike his sister, Eldar applied enough force to the control column to contradict the autopilot for 30 seconds.

What nobody knew was that he had partially disconnected the autopilot, and the flight computer switched the plane's ailerons to manual control, while maintaining control over the other flight systems. The plane did not audibly signal a warning that this had occurred; although an indicator light did come on. It apparently went unnoticed by the pilots, who had previously flown planes with an audible warning signal. The first to notice a problem was Eldar, who observed that the plane was banking right. Shortly after, the flight path indicator changed to show they were in a holding pattern. This confused the pilots for nine seconds.

Soon the plane banked past a 45-degree angle (steeper than it was designed for). This increased the g-force on the pilots and crew, making their bodies feel much heavier than usual, and making it impossible for the Captain to replace his son at the controls. After banking as much as 90 degrees, the remaining functions of the autopilot tried to correct the plane's altitude by putting the plane in an almost vertical ascent, nearly stalling the plane. The co-pilot and Eldar managed to get the plane into a nosedive, which reduced the G-force on the pilots and enabled the Captain to take the controls. Though he and his co-pilot did regain control, their altitude by then was too low to recover, and the plane crashed.

One more reason never to have kids. Oh how I hate the little shitstains!

Don't blame the kid. What idiot lets a child fly a plane while he chats it up w/ the guys behind.

Agreed, the kid was not at fault.

The guy who turned off the autopilot is.

Eldar turned off the autopilot by pushing just hard enough.

And damn, I thought they were going to get out of it!
