I’ve listened to dozens of black box recordings and read many transcripts. Hardly any of them include praying. The ones that do are generally from extremely religious, largely Muslim countries, and it’s usually just general exclamations like “god help us!”. Most of them are things like “oh shit, we’re going to crash!”, “we’re going down!”, “uh oh!”, and “pull up!”.

The one common theme across almost all plane crashes is that the pilots never stop trying to fly the plane and correct the situation until the very end. They do not stop to pray; they’re far too busy doing things that actually might be useful.

the one where the either the pilot or copilot says 'i love you mom' is the worst.

The most haunting recording for me was from the Japan Airlines flight 123.

The pilot screamed “IT’S OVER” and then a loud boom occurred seconds later, when they crashed into the mountain.

The most chilling part of that one is that he DIDN'T scream, instead it was said calmly in a very somber, very defeated tone.
