This is very strange. On a BBC radio documentary I heard on Radio 4 about ten years ago, a piece of audio recording was played which was described as the final transmission from Komarov. In it, he shouted repeatedly (in Russian) "You have killed me", and it was extremely harrowing. I've never forgotten it. I wish I could. If that was fake, how did it make its way into a BBC documentary so recently?

It's called Western Propaganda

yes agree

R.i.p Vladimir Komarov , he was a outstanding pilot before choosing to be a astronaut , when you have accomplished your purpose in this life till a point it pleases God , he will take you up to be with him in paradise . God bless you Komarov .

Well, at least you correctly say "USSR", "Soviet Union", "Soviet" and "the Soviets" instead of "Russia", "Russia", "Russian" and "the Russians".

@A K Russia was one of the many members of the USSR, collectively saying Russia is all of the USSR is very disrespectful.

USSR=Russia

@Jamie Nope.

After launching the man in an unfit spacecraft, they then ordered him to attempt re-entry 🤔.....!!! these guys always breath from behind

I'm very interested in space and space history, I don't have time yet to watch it, I just saw it was released, but I hope they don't dumb it down so much it's false Oh wait, I just realised, even the title's wrong, he's not the first person to die in space, only three people have ever died in space, the crew of soyuz 11

The man who fell to Earth title was already taken. That man survived. Read the book.

Well, there's a movie claiming this title but Vladimir was the one who actually fell to earth.

What book?

???

The tone of that introduction feels off for the story being told.

Bbc and such a poor material... you forgot to mention most crucial piece of info that there were so many problems with the capsule ground crew just gave up on him. When he realized that he is on his own he managed nothing short of miracle performance to get it to earth safely. Most importantly the capsule went into spin which he managed to stabilize to astonishment of ground crew. When all was good the last piexe failed - the parachute. On top of that you just repeat rumours and opinions of third parties. That is not journalism. Seems like The Sun to me... For me personally this vid makes all other content BBC made which I trusted questionable. What a dissapointment...

Thanks for additional information. There had to be some reason why he was a hero. Omission is a lie.

So he didn’t actually die in space then if he had already re-entered when he died?

@VideoRocketzMillar007 Millar inaccurate

He did die in space and burned up on the way to re entry
