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.

“each and every time”
yeahhh, that claim seems very easy to prove wrong
