In the very early hours of October 2nd 1996, a modern passenger plane, a Boeing 757 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. 70 people are killed in the disaster. The pilots were facing a situation they had not been trained for. Many of their instruments appeared to be malfunctioning and giving contradicting warnings. With no visual reference in the dark night the pilots were unable to see that they were edging closer to the ocean below.

it would be found that ground staff had covered the sensitive pitot static ports with tape. This was done as a protective measure however, they forgot to remove the tape.

The Aeroperu flight 603 Cockpit Voice Recording is publicly available.
