Mama, I'm coming home...

He posteado varios links morbidos en estas paginas, pero este esta entre los primeros lugares.

en este sitio se encuentran archivos de audio y texto de las cajas negras de aviones justo antes de que impacten.


ejemplo:


While on a flight from Denver to Portland, the aircraft ran out of fuel while the crew was distracted with a landing gear problem. Failure of the captain to monitor properly the aircraft's fuel state and to properly respond to the low fuel state as indicated by other crew members. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the other two flight crew members either to fully comprehend the criticality of the fuel state or to successfully communicate their concern to the captain.
