Out of Control: Japan Airlines 123

Japan Air Lines Flight 123 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Tokyo to Osaka, Japan. On August 12, 1985, the Boeing 747 flying the route suffered a severe structural failure and decompression 12 minutes into the flight. After flying under minimal control for a further 32 minutes, the 747 crashed in the area of Mount Takamagahara, 100 kilometres (62 mi; 54 nmi) from Tokyo.

操縦不能の絶望の中
30分も必死に生還信じて操縦していたクルーに敬意を
懸命に乗客の世話していた
すべての客室乗務員たちにも敬意を。

RIP Kyu Sakamoto, and to the rest of the 520 who lost their lives that evening. They all had lives, families, friends, and stories.😢

Hearing the 'SINKRATE, PULL UP' alarm does sound really terrifying in the real cockpit. Usually in the flight sims, we do some silly stuff and hear those and think nothing about it. Really scary.

If they were able to turn out to the sea, they might have actually been able to ditch inside of it or even made it back to Haneda. The fact they turned inland and survived 30 minutes is a miracle itself.

It was the deadliest single aircraft crash in aviation history, the deadliest was the Tenerife disaster involving 2 747s

since the accident, many have tried this flight via simulation, and no one was ever able to last as long as the real life pilots did. gods bless these men, they managed to do the seemingly impossible, while i may add, suffering from hypoxia for a good portion of the flight.

they tried 30 minuted to save the plane, but unfortunately they failed, but saving 4 passengers with no vertical stabilizer for 30 minutes is just, very talented yet sad .

It's a miracle that they were able to keep plane up in the air for 30 minutes only, but that miracle had run out when the plane turned upside down and slammed to the mountain...

The pilots didn't knew that the entire tail was gone when the pressurized bulkhead broke apart due to poor maintenance....

They all-out effort to hold the plane
Still legend
Please take my bow and respect

Captain Takahama: "Nose up....Nose up.

Captain Takahama: "Hey, hold the flap....ah, don't lower so much flap.
Flap up, flap up, flap up."

Captain Takahama: "Power, power....flaps."

First Officer: "It is up."

Captain Takahama: "Nose

Audio Ground proximity warning system sounded (GPWS)

GPWS: "Pull up..Pull up...Pull

Captain Takahama: "It's the end."

I followed up on this accident and why it happened. Japan air ( at the time ) did repairs to this plane rudder and rear tail flaps . Unfortunately that whole repair area fell apart during flight, that's why they couldn't control the aircraft

[Speedbird]

I even used my Flight Simulator to recreate the same condition of the crew struggling to fly the plane. But i noticed that the crash was inevitable. So once the tail of the plane broke, there was nothing that the pilots could do to save the plane. Still today, i feel sad for the crew. R.I.P all
