7:33 am
caused this disaster for forty years later no geary's conclusive and important questions still remain. in the morning of april twelfth one thousand nine hundred eighty one get a good get in woke up at half past five in the morning is breakfast space food from tubes even joked about it saying it was the only thing for a man in orbit meanwhile the us still crockett was sitting on the launch pad ready to catapult him into outer space. connection shift the night lost track of that nice as it gradually blended with don't. normally i would have woken up in the morning and headed for the launch site. for you. but that night i didn't sleep clinician who she is needless to say so at any rate many myself included were found more agitated than here a good god to show

a myriad of stage good after final medical checkups good god and was helping to a spacesuit a bus transporting him in his back up to the rock this film footage shows you got in chairman of the state commission rudeness and me walking from the bus towards the spacecraft's chief designer sygate cut it off and other members of the commission stated around a table where you currently got in and wishes him a good journey i take it got him by the hand and taken to a ladder leading to the lift that's now about fifteen steps separate him from the lift. on march twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred sixty eight the last morning of good got in its life mishaps plagued him from the very stark after boarding the bus taking him to the airfield he remembered he'd left his pass at home he decided to return to pick up the document although he knew full well everyone in the air force regiment recognised him like many pilots he was superstitious and the first cause may not certainly considered this
7:35 am
a bad omen. there were also other troubles in store for a good god and would have to fly tandem with flight instructor city ogun even though he was authorized to pilot aircraft on his own. we were flying in. cloud he did a very good job piloting the aircraft sure that good command of the radio equipment . also stayed well within the flight so it was very together we did a very good job and. he was given x. little marks and allowed to tie little airplanes unassisted. vet if you got him was to fly three times he was slated for two solo flights after the outing with instructor city. got into it seats in the cockpit of a training jet several minutes passed before they were allowed to take off. they reached what we call a point of turnaround in accordance with the flight scheme pilots must reach the
7:36 am
line before going into the flight so after that they go through an air core door and enter the zone and only then did they begin to ascend. the fruit twelve thousand nine hundred sixty one just a few minutes past nine in the morning you get in is already in the cabin of device don't rocket final preparations and checks are being made all that remains is to shut the hatch. it is a nerve racking operation for all associations of cause it's an unpleasant moment because of the consequences if the hatch is law as it should be the cabin is hermetically sealed and the flight is normal and if not the cosmonauts life might be in danger but he had a man. with a hash lock down in engineers ready to leave the launch site the chief designer called from mission control he said sensors had indicated the cabin was not reliably sealed the hatch had to be checked immediately. knew. how we
7:37 am
felt isn't hard to imagine. but the technicians knew their job well. they unscrewed the knots and removed the hatch in no time and snowed. they're paid to the connection with signals whether or not the hatches properly sealed the nuclear want everything there was a. petition on march twenty seventh one nine hundred sixty eight got in straining jed takes off from the runway of two color scheme military airfield and heads eastward towards the flight so the training exercises to last fifteen to twenty minutes the plan includes barrel rolls hook turns and vertical loops but only four minutes later she colored skis flight controller here's good got an report on heading for base earlier. during the third turn i heard good parents voice.
7:38 am
was so quiet. right after that i reported to the commanding officer that i had heard the voice of number six to five. the flight commander was not alarmed by the early message or found nothing strange about hearing a god and not the instructor said yogen chuckling over the airway. record would be his last words that reach the flight command. if rule twelve nine hundred sixty one nine o seven am the first man to still profit case off from the launch pad. got in radios back a phrase that would in a few hours would be known around the world as his signature line. the first flight lasted one hundred eighty minutes this spacecraft begins to descend after orbiting the earth that was one of the most complicated phases of the
7:39 am
mission because not was to eject from the descent module several kilometers above the ground. one of the special features was the seat do you think of the mechanism was powerful enough to a genuine cosmonaut wearing a spacesuit. another unit was that you at a certain altitude the entry hatch was jettisoned because that made it possible for the cosmonauts to eject from the space crowded into your. third even though the time there was no forest here ok well nice evening thing this field they have since grown into toll trees on the morning of april twelfth one thousand nine hundred eighty one reader chris conover was a six year old girl out playing potatoes with her grandmother they noticed two spots in the sky they grew larger and larger until she saw an odd looking creature wearing bright orange over us. my grandma they can't tough

questions where he was from i remember she said she was from a ship with a positive there was no one to any way in a place but then she said i'm from a spaceship. grandmother with the first humans to seek a god and after his return from outer space half an hour later a search party found the landing site in the south of regent only a handful of people knew who got in when he woke up on the morning of april twelfth when he went to bed the same day he had acquired global fame. garron and i in the flying club now this picture shows us near a jack eighteen airplane only a short distance separates the place where the first couple minutes flight began and the place where he finally touched down both are in the set out to free agent right and up with. carolyn september ninth if you see for when both of us were going through a course of training at the club we're british and several others had graduated
7:41 am
from a school training young people for jobs in industry. thank you today there were just as great fans of aviation as myself who did it we kept together with the club. kid in sharing classroom desks and sitting examinations together. it just so happens that we had the same instructor. around noon on march twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred sixty eight the flight controller of the skull of ski airfield was desperately trying to contact a fighter jet trainer number six to five got in the pilot and reported ten minutes before in kiri the aircraft should have appeared over the runway two minutes after the radio exchange time passed got an insidious didn't respond to calls to contact ground control it became clear half an hour later due to fighter had been involved in an accident. the air force regiments second in command
7:42 am
were told me to reports to the general. he told me that something had happened to guarantee the guard. rescue teams were dispatched to locate the crash site around three pm one of the crews noticed a deep charring hole in the ground amidst the birch trees it was later established that it was five meters deep the disaster meant it two men had no chance for survival the question immediately coming to mind was why such skilled pilots had been unable to eject from their cockpit. seals the day everybody wants to know why they didn't to jet anybody my they don't understand a pilot psychology something goes wrong with the zero play thing to pilot tries to get things right rather than egypt. simple and is a former test pilot he was a member of the commission looking into what caused a god instead according to one of the initial theories bad weather could have been responsible for the crash yoko's idea to trouble was that they were flying between

clothes when an aircraft is in thick clouds difficult to put. matters become even worse considering that the pilot might meet a mistake in such conditions. no other air crash investigation in soviet history and receive such thorough attention even the tiniest plane fragments were collected from the site but investigators could glean only a small amount of information from the wreckage besides in the one nine hundred sixty s. aircraft were not equipped with flight recorders and the lack of data gave rise to a multitude of theories explaining what had caused the tragedy. to. space is the backbone of our national security there is no substitute and there is no alternative to military space. bombs on target time ballmer. or. those two little over three space

7:46 am
a stunning message for the first time ever. man had broken out of earth's gravitational pull and gone to outer space. defense min to do so was the soviet union's very own when he got in. practice khamenei and some of my friends were in college getting ready for an exam in higher mathematics and i don't regret it got dark road to god it was a fellow student burst into the classroom. and says someone by the name of garan had been launched into space on a roll. we asked him what the patronymic over this pilot. save if he said yes now we knew that he was yuri gagarin. there was a red carpet rolled out on the airfield of the moscow airport on april fourteenth nine hundred sixty one in ceremonial steps major got in march toward soviet leader nikita khrushchev without noticing that issue aces had come undone still he made

his official report. comrade first secretary of the communist tulsi of the soviet union it is my pleasure trip to see you at the world's first place fly to build that will start spaceship and it on the twelfth of april and nine hundred sixty one. systems and equipment has been working like clockwork without fail on an excellent healthy and ready to fulfill any new assignments. and government. major garrett in one nine hundred sixty a good news or good guns death spread around the country almost as fast as news of his spaceflight seven years prior and that was despite the fact that the announcement had been long delayed and was couched in very terse phrasing. the commission to investigate the cause of the tragedy was already in full swing.
7:48 am
we were provided with reports in by panels of scientists who had established a flight c. exact trajectory that we used to reports to pass judgment on whether the two men had done the right thing during that flight at the core which a lack of information was the main problem facing the commission apart from got in from the flight zone there were only readings from onboard instruments the investigators were not sure that they were reliable. in the event of a serious accident the eighty creators of on board instruments we've been imprinted on the remaining portal between explain as a rule it's possible to locate the position of the pointer at the time of the crèche you. got and smile was a vivid soviet symbol without precedent a symbol that had great appeal across the world newspapers around the globe

featured front page pictures of who got in for several days after his first flight the world's first kuzma not was no longer an ordinary man he become a national icon. after his first spaceflight got in began to travel widely and ran the soviet union and abroad each time is visited tracked and thousands of people this is how he was welcomed in japan. this is how it was visit to britain got underway. the russian photographer by the scope and remembers very well how his first famous photograph came to pass he'd been assigned to cover the soviet visit of italian film star gina lollobrigida got in was among the guests. suzanne emerged from onto the table which i shared with horror and it's the thought that i would be unable to take any pictures at all for the i saw that the bear crow was occupied by
7:50 am
a venerable recorders where there was no place for a voice like me anyway so when i poked out right beside him he showed no reaction and only when the slide is just your are you just one constant became going to use when he finished speaking and i finished taking pictures of course he turned to me and said so every been able to take any pictures and there's nothing special about this photograph except that it got our instance side by side with the little brigitta that they still make reprints of it. oleksandr causative sees the crash site from an altitude of four hundred meters for the first time the model is standing at the site where the world's first cosmonaut died is hardly visible. it's been established to the weather was bad during the flight there were two layers of clouds. let's sum this father is a well known designer of aircraft engines he says it's the aircraft's motor that
7:51 am
caused the disaster. this situation unfolded as follows. when the pilots found themselves in the lower level of clouds and who doesn't altitude of one thousand five hundred meters the engine failed. they tried to keep it going by forcing it to work at maximum capacity. don't brought it to an abrupt halt in flight. this theory that the engine was responsible for the crashes based on beings obtained from onboard instruments divil asa gage recorded a high speed on impact with the ground this means that the pilots made no attempt to pull the aircraft out of the spin otherwise they would have cut down on the thrust according to timothy cause that if we've got an insidious and became aware of the slowdown they tried to restart the engine. some of them may need to under normal conditions but in this engine can be restarted in thoughts rather.

regressively. the situation during the good god wrings last flights were good it was such that the pilot was short of else achieved on time and they couldn't react because they had no time for that. in the mid one nine hundred sixty s. got any indicated his desire to get back in the cockpit with piloting turbojets was too much of a risk because such airplanes had not been properly tested these were new models the country's leadership didn't like the idea of putting the life of the first cars are not in jeopardy for a long time you've gotten was denied a chance to pilot planes instead he was offered executive jobs he was appointed to the post of deputy head of cost not training center. still he attended classes at an air force academy and wrote a book. war i first met him at a publishing have this frankly i had not expected
7:53 am
a lieutenant recently promoted to the rank of major to be a great fan of books. good gun came to see valentino's support for the publishing house a few days before his final flight he brought the latest version of his book to be published just a few months later. with this is the book. in as he tells about how he feels when he gets into this craft alone or together with others to put up. this street commission investigating the cause of gun to his death did not come to a definitive conclusion its report said briefly that some unclear circumstances and put the aircraft into a tailspin the pilots couldn't pull it out of the spin because their craft altitude was too low and they'd run out of time and. all the materials relating to the investigation were kept under lock and key even commission experts were unaware of the results of the commission's work but some of them suggested their
7:54 am
own theories. would pick up and pull out a lot of version is that they can do weather balloonist even if some six hundred kilometers an hour of it of just would not affect we do feel like the impacts equivalent must have been eclipsed three tons of. data from. either my left in mouth i concealed the cabin and sent three aircraft interested in a five unit through thought of the full. version is based on speculation that the fighters cockpit had already come open before it hit the ground in other words the pilots were not in control of their plane after losing consciousness when it hit a weather balloon. violator yes the cough is a flight instructor he was up in the air on the fateful morning of march twenty seventh he says faulty on board instruments may have caused the tragedy.
7:55 am
that's known and i don't wish to draw parallels with a low disasters i knew they fell. into a spin after finishing the exercise a tumble and a steel door and with a tilt of sixty degrees. there were no kludge when they started their report. it was soon as they entered the clouds if they lost their barracks earth. would fifteen years after guidance death professor ability to coast am cause i'm not delicacy on the put forward yet another theory for the disaster according to them the fighter energy turbulence left behind by a supersonic aircraft that had been in the area shortly before the crash when turbulence put got instead into a spin the pilots were unable to pull their aircraft out they needed two hundred three hundred more meters two or three more seconds. huge old pilots agree to it in a craft can fall into a spin when it's answers turbulence special tests have proven that there is no spin
7:56 am
in such situations tenets that you have been through and so many times during tests when you answer turbulence your aircraft is skewed just side but you immediately regain control of that with the product. of the remains of could got into their craft just kept in some twenty sealed barrels this standing orders to keep just several tons of twisted steel that used to be a training fighter jet for ever though a state commission has not conclusively established the cause of good got instead. chances are these will someday be open so that people can once again search for answers behind the desk to defer some into across the space frontier. descent until flying duty get in springboard for his rise to fame has been renamed after the first cause may not young people who dream about flying high come here
