Air Crash Investigation - Out Of Control (S03E03)

Japan Airlines Flight 123 was a Japan Airlines domestic flight from Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) to Osaka International Airport (Itami) on August 12, 1985. The Boeing 747-146SR that made this route, registered JA8119, suffered mechanical failures 12 minutes into the flight and 32 minutes later crashed into two ridges of Mount Takamagahara in Ueno, Gunma Prefecture, 100 kilometers from Tokyo. The crash site was on Osutaka Ridge (御巣鷹の尾根 Osutaka-no-One), near Mount Osutaka. All 15 crew members and 505 out of 509 passengers died, resulting in a total of 520 deaths and four survivors.

It is currently the deadliest single-aircraft accident in history, and the third deadliest plane crash in history in terms of all fatalities behind the September 11, 2001, attacks and the Tenerife airport disaster (however, there were fewer passenger deaths during the September 11 attacks than the number of passenger deaths on Flight 123).

@cedia Japan still hold tight their tradition, "Better Suicide, rather lose in war"

@equarg Study well and Study hard. I thank you for every life that you and your colleagues, both past and future, help to bring down safety. For those lives that are lost.. we mourn and we learn and we save more.

Can't understand why they're rejected help from the US.

@Pvjinflight Ok maybe not 500, but there could've been more survivors if they'd been allowed to help. And I know it was the Boeing guy who f*cked up (I'm not biased towards the Americans BTW, if that's what you're thinking), whoever was responsible for that, I would hope was punished.

[Pvjinflight]

@gullivera Most of people died on impact anyway, so no. By the way American engineer who was supposed to fix this plane did not do it properly which resulted in crash.

[gullivera]

Is anybody serving about 500 consecutive life sentences for not letting the Americans help? That and for the "rivalry" that caused confusion?

[gullivera]

@shcnoozlebop To this day, JAL 123 is the most deadly SINGLE air crash in aviation history. Meaning the highest death toll involving one plane, and all the victims being passengers. If you look at 9/11 for example, obviously it was far worse, but a different situation, multiple planes, majority of victims not passengers. That's not the programme's fault, its the way these incidents are categorised, look it up.
