The pilot of a doomed Air France flight realised his plane was careening towards a watery grave and would kill every single soul aboard - as a verdict on the case is imminent.
Flight 447, an Airbus 330 that was travelling from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, claimed the lives of 228 passengers, including five Brits and three Irish doctors, after it pounded into the surface of the sea in 2009.
Fourteen years later and Air France has been found not guilty for manslaughter over the deaths.
