Chilling recording revealed: Hakadosh Baruch Hu, have mercy!

Two years later, police revealed the chilling recording, in which Rafi and Yehudit Attias z"l are heard in a conversation with the Police center, requesting assistance after a fault in their brakes system, in Tiberias. The conversation began at 1:10am at night, when the family traveled back home to their settlement Bar Yochai, after returning from a dedication of a synagogue in Migdal Haemek.

The shocking accident which stirred the entire country, occurred in Sivan 5772 (2012), on Route 77 towards Tiberias, killing eight members of the Attias family, residents of Moshav Bar Yochai in the Upper Galilee: the father Rafael Amram, 42, and his wife Yehudit a"h, aged 42, and their children - the eldest daughter Avya 17 years old, the twins Elyashiv and Neriah Shimon 16, Shira 11, Tair Mazal 9 and the little 4 -year-old Noa z"l. The only one who survived the catastrophic accident, was the 7 year old Rachel. So it sounds:

Policewoman: Hello.
Yehudit Attias: Hello, We are drivng ...
Policewoman: I can not hear you.
Yehudit Attias: We are driving here ...
Rafi Attias: Hello, Shalom. I am driving from the Golani Junction to Tiberias. And my... what's its name got caught. The gas probably got caught, I hit the brakes hard, the hand brakes are all the way and the car is just flying.
Rafi Attias: I left Migdal Haemek towards Tzfat. Near Golani Junction the car does not, not, not stop. The gas is probably caught. I am hitting the brakes as hard as I can and the hand brakes is almost to the top.
Policewoman: Where are you right now?
Rafi Attias: I am, just a moment, at ... Givat Avni. I need someone to stop my car.
Policewoman: Okay, what's your name?
Rafi Attias: Raphael Attias. Now is Givat Avni ... I am passing the intersection with a green light, vehicles may hit me ...



Policewoman: Wait a minute on the line, sir, one minute.
Rafi Attias: I don't have, I don't have much space. Please call someone from Tiberias or maybe a police car, someone who will come towards me.

Rafi reports to the center that he quickly crossed the Golani Junction without being able to stop or turn towards Bar Yochai and they are advancing speedily toward the falls of Tiberias. Moments of anxiety of an entire family in the vehicle are well heard in the recording. At this point, the operator puts another officer on the line. The phone goes to Yehudit who from this moment held the phone while Rafi was trying at a speed of over 100 kmph to steer the car. Even at this point after a few minutes of conversation, the police still do not understand the situation of the Attias family.

Policeman: Hello, ma'am? Lady, with whom I am speaking?
Yehudit Attias: Holy in heaven, G-d have mercy!
Policewoman: Madam, explain where you are right now.
Yehudit Attias: Where are we Rafi?
Rafi Attias: Givat Avni.
Yehudit Attias: After Givat Avni.
Policewoman: Which way?
Rafi Attias: towards Tiberias .
Yehudit Attias: Father in Heaven, Creator of the Universe!
Policeman: Wait, but what is it, a drop?
Yehudit Attias: We are on a ride, we ... we are with seven children. Creator of the world, have mercy on us!
Policeman: Hello? This is a plane, no?
Yehudit Attias: Yes, for now it's a plane.
Policewoman: Raise your hand brakes.
Rafi Attias: No, I have no hand brakes. Watch out now, it's a turn...
Yehudit Attias: Oh my G-d ... what a turn...
Policeman: He has no brakes?

Yehudit Attias: He does not even hand brakes, send urgently, we are at life danger!
Policeman: He has no brakes?
Yehudit Attias: he has no brakes and no hand brakes. We are in mortal danger.
Policeman: Sixty flashing lights.
Yehudit Attias: We are before the declines to Tiberias. Rafi, go in some direction, try to run into something. Rafi, try to knock the car. You have a place on the side to knock like that maybe? Hashem, G-d, we're in mortal danger!
Policeman: Where are you now exactly?
Yehudit Attias: Rafi, maybe on the side here, on this here...
Policeman: Give me a location where you are now exactly?
Rafi Attias: We are at the Poriah intersection, but if I do not stop now...
Yehudit Attias: If we don't stop now, we are before the Poriah intersection, we have a turn, turns and ... and we are finished ... we already have parks back in the car, send us a police car!

During another attempt by police to understand the direction of the car - precious seconds fleet by. According to the Ministry of Transport, the car did not stop to accelerate. The police instruct the family to put on the emergency lights, but they already understand the seriousness of the situation, think how it would be possible to stop the car otherwise. From here to the time of the accident, the voices inside the vehicle which continues to speed through and has already reached 130 kmph, are mainly heard.

Policeman: What's your name?
Yehudit Attias: Rafi Attias.
Policeman: This is your husband's name?
Yehudit Attias: Rafi Attias. G-d, we are at 120. G-d, we are at 120. Father in Heaven, have mercy. Creator of the world, what do we do? ! Rafi, try to control in some sort of direction. You are not saying anything! Rafi, try to get stuck somewhere ... try to get stuck maybe in ... Hashem, Hashem...
Rafi Attias: She (policewoman) is not sending me anyone, why?
Policeman: Listen, I am hanging up on you now. They'll call you from the station now, okay?
Yehudit Attias: Rafi, try to get stuck here... Rafi, here, try to get into here.
Rafi Attias: OK, guys!
Yehudit Attias: Rafi, Rafi ... try, mother ... Raffi try to go just right, not ...
Rafi Attias: We are going down!
Yehudit Attias: What drop?
Rafi Attias: Now the drops of Tiberias, send me somebody to stop me!
Yehudit Attias: Can't you send someone else to stop us? We are in the declines of Tiberias... We never imagined it would go.
Rafi Attias: Wai Wai Wai...
Yehudit Attias: Shema Yisrael! Shema Yisrael!

Then the terrible accident occurred.
