More would have survived had rescue services got there faster and not gone searching because of “weather”

[arbeevitero]

That is 524 passengers on the plane and 4 survive

[crunchinmaster]

very much proves that we are the error

[Starscream]

I would say they improperly repair plane tail that why it’s crash it’s definitely the maintenance fault for not being careful while repair

[Ogagssss]

Because the 1st landing of the airplane the tail crashed slightly and maybe that's causes why vertical stabilizer damage and when you think its just normal tail crash but there's a belt or lock for airplane fin to lock it and maybe it was broken after the 1st landing, they repair it but not to much tougher

Next
Why did the tail broke off because in 1978 japan 123 landed but the tail hit the ground but everyone survived but in 1985 they crashed meaning they didn't fix it well
Finally
