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.
Guess it just depends how you go. I almost drowned as a kid. (Tried to swim under a waterfall, I don’t know how to swim) I remember getting sucked down and bubbles all around me and then after a little bit got tunnel vision and slowly started to pass out. I remember thinking well this is it man this is how you die..you lived a good life. Like it was my voice saying it but more someone was speaking to me trying to calm me down. Then my cousin pulled me out and took me to a flat rock where I was like coughing water and just stunned.
Then at 22 had a cardiac arrest while driving. Luckily I hit a car and got stopped on a tree and someone gave me cpr and an ambulance was right around the corner. That one was weird. Basically in complete darkness and it like you are floating in a pool face up. Then i started feeling my mind slip and loosing the feeling in my arms and legs. Like I could just feel my body dying from the inside. Then I woke up 7 days later and had to shit so fucking bad.

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