Hello. Hello.

I think this might be our least successful recording day of all time.

I'm so tired.

It's okay, you guys won't know.

We're ready, we're pumped, but it has been.

A very bizarre start to the recording session.

And if you hear some banging,

just because somebody seems to be doing some fucking DIY right above us,

in a soundproof studio, apparently, that we pay for.

So, you know, there's that.

Yes.

There is also a confession that I have to make.

I didn't know about this, but I did know that Helios is the Greek God of the Sun.

So I thought we were doing a shorthand on the great god of the sun. And that is not

what we're doing at all. If you were also hoping that that's what you were going to listen to today,

I apologise. That's not what we're listening to. But I also don't, because this is fascinating.

On the morning of August 14, 2005, Helios Airways Flight 522 departed from Cyprus with

115 passengers and six crew on board. It should have been a simple 90-minute journey from

Cyprus to Prague, with a stop in Athens. But just 20 minutes after take-off, flight 522 went

completely silent.

Finally, after all emergency contact procedures failed,

a pair of S-16 fighter jets met the aircraft at 34,000 feet.
