Does anybody have the Pilot/Controller transmissions for UAL232 (sioux city Iowa crash)?
If you could let me know that would be great.

Ask and you shall receive. My favorite is the controller's clearance of "you're cleared to land on any runway" and Al Haynes replies "Haha, you want to be particular and make it a runway, huh?"
It is just incredible, knowing that you WILL crash this airplane, and people WILL die, and he can still joke on the radio just minutes before impact.
This crash is studied in just about every CRM class in the aviation industry as an example of all the right things to do.

As a police officer, I can kinda appreciate this 'gallows humor'. Yeah, the flight crew knew they were going to be the first ones at the scene of the accident, but they kept it together. These were brave, well trained, and disciplined men. Period.

He is a really inspirational guy because he's retained that attitude despite everything he's been through. He has suffered through some terrible hardships and tragedies since the accident, and is now a motivational speaker.

don't mean to be picky, but were the audio files ever released?
Thanks for the transcript.

I hope they study it in ATC classes, because that controller understood right away the severity of the problem, and did a damn fine job of calling out landing strips, distances, headings, etc.
Excellent teamwork by all.
