On March 23, 1994, Aeroflot Flight 593 crashed in Siberia, killing all 75 people on board. The disaster was caused by an ill-fated decision by Relief Captain Yaroslav Kudrinsky, who allowed his children, Yana and Eldar, to enter the cockpit mid-flight,
While the autopilot was engaged, Eldar accidentally disabled it by pressing on the yoke, causing the plane to roll and enter a dangerous bank. The crew struggled to regain control, but the plane ultimately crashed into the hills of Mezhdurechensk, Russia.
