Yeah, there was a website that had all the unedited transcripts and some recordings from crashes. I don’t think I remember reading any real prayers, that’s unless you count something like “oh God, oh god” as a prayer. Mainly just a lot of swearing and a mix of panicked or resigned statements. Most are just a couple sentences long, seems like most crashes go from fine to catastrophic very quickly.

Gloomy@mander.xyz 11 hours agoAre you telling me that there are public unedited black box recordings? Because that sounds like something that would not be made public.

A quick search shows that at least two Federal agencies are involved [FAA and NTSB] in any investigation. You could probably do a Freedom of Information Act search.
The usual process is to release an edited version.
I’d think that unless there was a compelling reason, like an allegation that the pilot deliberately crashed the plane, they’d respect the crews privacy.

Only relevant sections are published, but I’m sure that’s plenty of material to draw a decent sample.

You are correct. The public only receives written transcripts of the relevant sections of tape only. Off-topic conversations, meaning anything that is not relevant to the air accident, are not released. The audio files are not released to the public.

So the satanic government must be hiding the prayers to satan that all pilots are required to do by the satanic FAA!

And since prayer is not relevant to the air accident ...

The very last words are often relevant to explaining the sequence. They are often “oh shit!” or equivalent as the ground appears in front of them. It can help tell the difference between a flight crew that knew what was going on but couldn’t fix it and one which lost situational awareness

Like the flight where the pilots got lost above Kathmandu and flew right into a cliff like driving into a wall.
(I saw an Air Disasters/Mayday/Air Crash Investigation episode about that one years ago and it really stuck with me. Recently Mentour Pilot did a good episode about it.)
