Hansie Cronje in 1994 at the age of 24. Wessel Johannes “Hansie” Cronje was a South African international cricketer and Captain of the South African national cricket team in the 1990s. The passenger was Hansie Cronje, a former South African cricket captain who had missed a South African Airlines flight. While the voice recordings only reflect the conversation between the two pilots, Cronje, who was strapped into one of the two seats directly behind them, must have realised something was seriously wrong. When rescuers found the aircraft, Cronje was still strapped into his seat.
