Hey YouTube, Jim here! Welcome to Top10 Archive! From the very first time man has lifted off of the ground, to just yesterday, aviation accidents have happened. Sometimes human error, sometimes they’re mechanical faults, and sometimes it’s a terrible coincidence of both. It’s hard to imagine what the passengers and crews of these flights have gone through in their final moments, but thanks to black box recordings we have a better idea of what those final horrifying seconds might have been like. Here’s our list of ten last words recorded from black box airplane crashes.

10. Alaska Airlines 261

9. Swissair 111

8. Korean Airlines 801

7. United Airlines 232

6. Japan Airlines 123

5. Delta Airlines 1141

4. El Al 1862

3. Pacific Southwest Airlines 182

2. Valujet 592

1. Aeroperu 603

  1. Hopefully reforms and advancement would render such crashes to the past… but that’s just wishful thinking.

  2. This is a video that I knew I had to watch, but I have no idea why.
    Thank you, Jim, excellent presentation.

  3. It all comes down to maintenance…if it is shabby… lives will be lost. They should REPLACE engine parts more FREQUENTLY (At least every year or sooner) … Then we could all relax and fly safely. A few extra dollars per flight would not trouble any of us knowing the engines were in near perfect running order with NEW PARTS….hydraulics too ! Whew ! Now you got me thinking ….

  4. About two minutes of fluff, 1 whole minute at start before topic really starts and 40-50 seconds at end. Any of this not really needed and like I do will be most likely skipped. Also, I think it would of been better to let us hear the recording first then say what it meant. Tho since you did not have the recording for all 10 and one of them seemed to not say anything near what you said… I guess oh well. Overall this is a meh video.
