>>1788183>EgyptAir flight 990 Transcript of EgyptAir Flight 990 cockpit voice recorder in the final minutes before the Boeing 767 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean off Nantucket on Oct. 31, as released Friday by the National Transportation Safety Board:
Capt. Gamil El-Batouty (co-pilot of relief crew): Look, here's the new first officer's pen. Give it to him please. God spare you.
Unidentified voice: Yeah.
El-Batouty: To make sure it doesn't get lost.
Capt. Mahmoud el-Habashy (pilot in command of departure crew): Excuse me, Jimmy, while I take a quick trip to the toilet (sound similar to cockpit door operating).
El-Batouty: Go ahead please.
El-Habashy: Before it gets crowded. While they are eating, and I'll be back to you. (sound similar to cockpit door operating, then several clicks and thumps).
Unidentified voice: Control it. (Arabic translators believe that they heard words similar to this; one English analyst believes that he heard a word similar to "hydraulic"; other words were unintelligible.)
El-Batouty: I rely on God. (long series of thumps and clicks). I rely on God. (one loud thump and three faint thumps). I rely on God. I rely on God. (four tones similar to Master Caution aural beeper). I rely on God. I rely on God. I rely on God. I rely on God. (sound of loud thump). I rely on God.
El-Habashy: What's happening? What's happening?
El-Batouty: I rely on God. (sound of numerous thumps and clicks continue for about 15 seconds; repeating tone similar to Master Warning aural beeper starts and continues to end of recording). I rely on God.
El-Habashy: What's happening? What's happening, Gamil? What's happening? What is this? What is this? Did you shut the engine(s)? Get away in the engines. Shut the engines.
El Batouty: It's shut.
El-Habashy: Pull. Pull with me. Pull with me. Pull with me.
(end of recording)
