Nurcahyo Utomo, who is one of the experts examining the black box recordings uncovered from the wreckage, said it’s tough for him because he knew the pilot personally as he revealed those words, reported Yahoo News Singapore.

“We are listening to a recording that represents the last moments before the crash and it is disturbing,” he said. “There are times where the investigators would get unnerved listening to the recording.

“It is as if we can feel them — Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar were the last words said before they died,” Utomo said.

The words, which translated mean “God is great,” are often said by Muslims just before they die as they believe this grants them immediate entry into paradise.

However, the phrase is also often used as a cry from jihadists as they engage in a terrorist attack.

It has also been reported by christiantoday.com that 41 members of a Christian church congregation were among the 162 people killed in the crash.

There is no evidence thus far to suggest any connection to terrorism but more details are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks as the flight recorders undergo further examination.
