00:06For more than 20 years, I have worked analyzing aircraft black box recordings.
00:12I've heard voices that can never be forgotten, and screams that have never left my memory.
00:17But there are some recordings, that were never released.
00:21Not only because they were classified, but because no one who heard them could explain what they contained.
00:27What you are about to hear in this series is a collection of fictional stories inspired by the world of
00:32black box investigations, where every recording becomes a mystery, and every flight turns into a nightmare.
00:43One of the strangest and most terrifying cases I have ever investigated was Flight 662, which was traveling from India
00:50to California in 2015.
00:53This case was unlike any other, because the aircraft crashed.
00:57But the passengers disappeared before it went down.
01:01Flight 662 was cruising at 35,000 feet with 188 passengers and 8 crew members on board.
01:09In the 47th minute of the flight, the captain asked the lead flight attendant to check why the passenger cabin
01:15had suddenly become unusually quiet.
01:17He joked, tell me, did everyone fall asleep at exactly the same time?
01:23The flight attendant laughed and stepped out of the galley toward the front rows.
01:27Just five seconds later, the sound of her footsteps stopped.
01:32Then her trembling voice came over the intercom.
01:35Captain.
01:37She paused before whispering, the seats.
01:40They're empty.
01:42Silence filled the cockpit.
01:44The captain thought she was joking.
01:47What do you mean?
01:49She answered through tears, there's no one here.
01:52Every passenger has disappeared.
01:55One of the crew members rushed to the rear of the aircraft.
01:59Moments later, his voice came over the intercom.
02:02The back rows are empty too.
02:05The first officer immediately switched to the aircraft's internal security cameras.
02:10He checked them one by one.
02:13First class, empty.
02:15Economy class, empty.
02:17The aisles.
02:19Empty.
02:21Even the lavatories were open and completely vacant.
02:24But the most horrifying part was that the passengers' carry-on bags were still above their seats.
02:30The cups of coffee were still warm.
02:33One entertainment screen was still playing a movie that hadn't finished.
02:37A child's seat belt was still fastened, but the child was gone.
02:42The captain's breathing grew heavier.
02:45Then he said quietly, contact air traffic control.
02:49He opened the radio.
02:52Tower, we have an emergency.
02:54The reply came immediately.
02:57State the nature of your emergency.
03:00The captain hesitated for a few seconds before saying the sentence that remains preserved inside the black box to this
03:06day.
03:06I can't explain what I'm about to say, but the passengers have disappeared.
03:11Silence followed.
03:13Even air traffic control had no response.
03:16Less than a minute later, every navigation system began failing one after another.
03:21The altitude display went dark.
03:24Then the radar.
03:26Then the communication systems.
03:29Just before the recording ended, the cockpit microphone captured a strange sound.
03:34It wasn't screaming.
03:36It wasn't an alarm.
03:38It was the sound of hundreds of people whispering at the same time.
03:43Yet the whispers were coming from the empty passenger cabin.
03:46Two seconds later, the recording ended.
03:49When the rescue teams reached the crash site, the scene was even more disturbing than the recording itself.
03:56They recovered the bodies of the pilots and crew members.
04:00But the passengers, there was no trace of them.
04:03Not inside the wreckage.
04:06Not around it.
04:07Not anywhere.
04:09The case file disappeared just a few months later.
04:13The only sentence that remained in the official record was,
04:16Number of missing persons, 188.
04:19The other driver was glassed in the car.
04:20They recovered the fleet of the pilots.
04:20There was a long delay if the bus Swami was Господ méda.
04:20And however they would love to be an omega-6 GA-6 nggak Highway went back.
04:20People voted to be an addict, but even more in probable停 sushi somewhere.
04:21There was no trace of them.
