Japan Airlines 123 Crash (Old VS New Animation)

Japan Air Lines Flight 123 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Tokyo to Osaka, Japan. On August 12, 1985, the Boeing 747 operating the service 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. All 15 crew members and 505 of the 509 passengers died in the accident. Some of the fatalities survived the initial impact but died of their injuries hours later while awaiting rescue. All four survivors were seriously injured. The crash of Flight 123 is the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history.

New animation on top and old animation on bottom

The reason why they recreated it is because national geogrpahic Doesnt have access to the old animation anymore so they recreated it in 4k.

Explanation: Japan Air Lines Flight 123 was a domestic flight from Tokyo to Osaka that crashed on August 12, 1985, resulting in the deaths of 520 people, making it the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history. The crash was caused by a faulty repair of the aircraft's aft pressure bulkhead after a tailstrike incident seven years prior. The faulty repair led to an explosive decompression and loss of the vertical stabilizer, causing the aircraft to lose control and crash into Mount Osutaka.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
The Incident:
Approximately 12 minutes after takeoff, JAL 123 experienced a loud bang and explosive decompression due to the failure of the aft pressure bulkhead.
Loss of Control:
The decompression caused the loss of the aircraft's auxiliary power unit (APU), rudder, and a large portion of the vertical stabilizer.
Faulty Repair:
The root cause of the accident was traced back to a faulty repair of the pressure bulkhead after a tailstrike incident seven years earlier.
Fatal Outcome:
Despite the crew's efforts to maintain control for over 45 minutes, the aircraft crashed into Mount Osutaka, resulting in the deaths of 520 people.
Significance:
The crash of JAL 123 remains the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history and led to significant changes in aircraft maintenance and repair procedures.

JAL123 had a nose dive before hitting the mountains, Their attempt was to descent cause 3rd pilot AKA the hydraulic controller said it was a good idea to lower landing gear by force, At this time The tail had all the controls. Hydraulics, Joystick control, And stability. After Boeing found out about this crash the company made it so they are all spread out and theres not as much in the Tail incase of a tail strike of any type. Before they hit the mountains the flaps had been going against themselves as it helped them. What i mean is that jal 123 was stalling and they enabled flaps which caused the Stall to go away. But then it would be its greatest enemy as jal 123 started banking to the Right because the Left flaps had more force then the Right. Because of the fact that the engines was the only thing they controlled, At that point. They were just passengers watching the planes movement with no controls. The way they stabilized it was with engine timing but you cannot time it when it banks too much as it will stall. Especially with flaps and landing gear, This cause was That JAL123 got a major tailstrike just like how KLM got a major damage to the tail before it collided with PAN AM in Tenerife. Repairs were not In a successful attempt but they thought it was, As JAL123 finally regained oxygen From descenting to a lower altitude they finally could Aviate.
Navigate.
And Communicate with the air traffic control, But it was too late because right when it went off the radar it had been destroyed. The tail wasnt repaired correctly because Engineers did not know the insides was damaged, Not just hydraulic structure. Because of this All the symptoms that is supposed to balance the plane from the outside Symptoms that is supposed to have very Little Symptoms to the inside of the plane All leaked out to the air causing a Decompression failure with balance



Last words from F.E AKA Co-pilot: Yes.

The secret: The pilot continued to send distress calls and asked to be rerouted to the Tokyo airport. But about 45 minutes after takeoff, the plane crashed into Mount Takamagahara near Mount Osutaka (the latter mountain was the first reported crash site and became the popular name for the crash) in the Kantō Range.

It's amazing they kept the plane in the air as long as they did I can't imagine the horror those passengers and crew went through 😢


It's a miracle that anyone survived let alone four

[A_TheAir]

I like how the old animation glows the planes cockpit glass

[samuelvr]

Honestly the new animation is overal better quality and actually accurate (they never stalled from going to high, and in the last moments they didnt just nose dive into the mountain at a 90 degree angle)

For those who don’t know:

JAL 123 was a domestic flight between Tokyo and Osaka, operated by Japan airlines with Boeing 747-100s and later 200s. The accident occured on august 12, 1985 when rapid decompression in aft fuselage of the aircraft lead to severe damage to the vertical stabiliser and 4 major hydraulic lines, leading to a loss of all yaw and pitch control, left with only engines, ailerons, landing gear and flaps, the pilots sustained flight for 32 minutes, attempting to land at Haneda International. Falling short a few kilometres away after clipping a wing on the side of a mountain, inverting and slamming through the dense forest, killing 520 of the 524 onboard, remaining the single deadliest aviation accident in history, only beaten by the Tenerife airport disaster a decade prior. The cause of the accident, a lack of Boeing repair standards by JAL maintenance crew between 1969-1977 on Boeing 747 models, which were later recalled after the incident to be checked and ensured safe.

Good bye japan air lines 123 (JAL123) 😢😢😢

Japan Air Lines Flight 123 (Japanese: 日航ジャンボ機墜落事故[1]) was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Tokyo to Osaka, Japan. On August 12, 1985, the Boeing 747 operating the service 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 The aircraft, featuring a high-density seating configuration, was carrying 524 people. All 15 crew members and 505 of the 509 passengers died in the accident. Some of the fatalities survived the initial impact but died of their injuries hours later while awaiting rescue. All four survivors were seriously injured. The crash of Flight 123 is the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history.[2]

Japan's Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission (AAIC), [3]: 129  assisted by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, [4] concluded that the structural failure was caused by a faulty repair by Boeing technicians following a tailstrike incident seven years earlier. When the faulty repair eventually failed, it resulted in a rapid decompression that ripped off a large portion of the tail and caused the loss of all on-board hydraulic systems, disabling the aircraft's flight controls.

Finding an airport for 33 minutes
So brave the captain of JAL flight 123

[peterplayzz]

I always thought it was wrong because how does a 747 strike a mountain then flip upside down? Theres no way the 4 people would survive but this new one is veey good

[AinaraVC]

Different animation for obvious reasons, the first one came out almost in the 2000s and the second one almost recently, that is, in these years, but it contains the same fate 😞

[BalaguerRayNigel]

The fact that the pilots tried to keep the plane airborne for about 32 minutes straight is wild.This is how brave the pilots of JAL123, trying to save people but they didn't make it

[komyo]

The old animation the bottom one is better 🤗. Not because of the quality of the animation it's because the animation is more accurate 🤗

[ShadowRacing]

Which is which??
Genuinely can't tell.

[knucklehoagies]

The human body can withstand a sudden deceleration of up to 6Gs. Victims on the JAL123 flight had a sudden deceleration of 100Gs.... The fact that 4 people survived is nothing short of a miracle.

[byme]

Respect for the pilot for trying to save the plane

[shockaid]

The survivors were located in the tail section of the aircraft. The crash was attributed to a faulty repair done on the aircraft's rear pressure bulkhead. The tail section remained somewhat intact, providing some protection to those in that area upon impact there was 50 of them *was*
