Never forget his words: "call my family and tell them that I love them - please"
Something keeps me listening to the Cockpit Voice Recordings on crashes on this site http://www.airdisaster.com . I think the most un-nerving one, and I'm not sure which it i is, is quite simple, and I'm repeating it from memory:

Pilot: No, no, power, power, power
Co-Pilot: No, we're okay ..
Pilot: Power, power power
(Whoop Whoop Pull Up - Alarm Tone)
Pilot: You know you've killed us?
Co-Pilot: Yeah.
(Crash souind - tape ends)

The altitude warning alarm always sounds so calm. It should jusy say "Whoop Whoop - You're fucked".
