CVR tapes
Ganga,
I have not heard the tapes but read somewhere it was a blodd curdling plea from the f/O to the hijacker not to shoot. Must be a really terrifying 30-40 minutes flight down to JHB; time tends to be really slow in such situations. Sampan asked as to whether any cabin crew tried to saved the ill-fated from it's deadly plunge; a senior colleague did mentioned sometime ago that there were indications that someone try to pull on the control column. Alas, our conversation took a turn away to the sins of the so called pariah lato!
