Chilling final words of pilot before Air France plane crashed into Atlantic killing 228

The final words of an Air France pilot on board a plane that crashed into the Atlantic have been revealed.

The Airbus A330, scheduled to fly from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on 1 June, 2009. All 228 onboard - including 12 crew members and 216 passengers - were killed.

Chilling audio between the captains has since been shared as Air France Flight 447 was clearly doomed for disaster.

Desperate conversations between captain Marc Dubois, 58, and his two co-pilots David Robert, 37, and Pierre-Cédric Bonin, 32, are evident in their final words before crashing.

Days later, debris from the Air France jet was found floating among the waves, sparking a two-year search of the depths of the sea totalling up to costs of £27 million.

One of the findings search crews made were the black box recorders, which held key information about what had occurred in the air that resulted in 228 people losing their lives.

These electronic recording devices revealed that the plane's speed sensors - known as pitot tubes - had become blocked and iced up as the jet tried to make its way to Paris through a storm.

Due to this, the plane's systems were producing faulty data for the flight.

The autopilot on the Airbus A330-203 was disabled, while the pilots were left trying to decipher confusing data regarding their speed and altitude, which eventually saw them decide to resume manual piloting.

But Dubois, Robert and Bonin were following the incorrect navigation data while battling through bad weather.

When the plane entered an aerodynamic stall, the trio mistakenly pointed the nose of the jet upwards instead of down.

This resulted in the Air France flight starting to tumble from the sky as the pilots had a panicked conversation.

One began: "We’ve lost our speeds!"

"I don’t know what’s happening," another concerned voice said.

Bonin then was later heard exclaiming: "Let’s go! Pull up, pull up, pull up!"

"F***, we're going to crash! It's not true! But what's happening?" Robert screamed.

It's unclear who spoke next, but they seemed to know their fate as someone said: "F***, we're dead."

The 205-tonne plane had plummeted 11,500 metres from the sky in just four minutes and 24 seconds, tragically killing everyone on board.

All that was left was the terrified cries of the pilots for investigators to help piece what had happened together.

In 2023, a court in Paris ruled that Air France and Airbus were not guilty of manslaughter for the deaths of those on board.
