Without warning a plane plummets towards the earth at 20,000 feet per minute, sending the pilots into panic. For the three passengers on board, it’s a rough and terrifying ride. 40 seconds into the dive the plane descends below cloud cover but miraculously the Kazakh crew manage to land the uncontrollable aircraft.

Now the challenge lies with the investigators who must determine how a freshly serviced plane was released with a fatal flaw.

It's a miracle these pilots survived. The mechanics messed up when installing the aileron cables leading to the aileron controls being reversed.

This one of the most extraordinary aviation stories I’ve heard of. The pilots flew this uncontrollable jet for 2 hours without giving up. The aircraft flew erratically for nearly entire flight and was almost disintegrated by the extreme G-loads it experienced. The pilots saved everybody’s lives and the plane, but the plane was scrapped soon after this because it was severely damaged.

I listened to the black box recording of this plane crash. Those pilots were really exhausted and really thought they wouldn't make it.

Pity they never asked all that were on board that day. I was never contacted. They made the story all about the pilots
