Airplane Out of Control (Japan Airlines Flight 123) - DISASTER BREAKDOWN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- In 1985, Japan Airlines Flight 123 became the deadliest aviation incident involving a single plane. On a short flight between Tokyo and Osaka the plane suffered a catastrophic structural failure which killed 520 people. The Boeing 747 was left with basically no control as the pilots deperately attempted to save their stricken plane.

Brilliant pilots, they almost made it. How they kept it in the air so long is almost incomprehensible. Rest in peace fellas.
Ф каком месте они бриллянтовые то!??🤣🎄🤣
They truly are heroes. It's heartbreaking that they were not able to save the plane after all their struggle.
Agreed. They were the best. Simulator crews with foreknowledge of the problems, couldn't keep it aloft anywhere near as long as they did.
@@alexbrands11 seriously.
Yea
Saddest part is the JDF's unwillingness to survey the scene that night and instead chose to wait until the morning. Even refusing help from the US military who had helicopters ready to go that night. Who knows how many more lives could've been saved.
ego got in the way
honeslty think people should have gotten jail time over that
Absolutely agree! I wonder if the people in charge would have made the same decision if their loved ones were onboard.
Even worse; they couldn’t even figure out who declined the help.
But than the survivors could sue and complain about the airline exposing bad safety
To this day not 1 pilot in a flight sim could keep the plane up even for half the time these pilots did !! And many have tried !!
The strength we have when trying to survive or save others is astonishing. They tried so hard. Bless them.
It was a sim, sims don’t fly.
im curious about this, during the sims do they have the oxygen issues and such? how do they have a way of making it as realistic as possible?
@Khaleesi right! I'm not arguing that the first pilots weren't skilled, I was just legit curious how realistic it was, that's all. I'm just generally curious how flight sims work when trying to find out if another landing was possible. I'm in awe of what the pilots did.
@@Amandaxbob You'd be surprised how realistic flight sims have become at this point. Even Microsoft Flight Simulator, a consumer video game flight sim, is pretty amazing. I'm not into flight sims, but it's crazy how much effort and fine tuning has been put in over the years to get it where it is now. There is even live weather from real life in the game. Pretty cool stuff.
The difference is, there is no passible way to simulate someone trying to survive in a life and death situation. And no way to simulate someone being affected by the loss in air pressure and anything else you'd deal with in these type of situations.
For some reason I find the recording that says “pull up” the most terrifying part of these videos
It was the onboard flight computer announcing their impending demise, essentially.
Omg same. It's haunting!
Me too... but I always listen for it.
The voice of death I call it...
I want to make my ring tone "Pull up! Pull up!"
The fact that rescuers decided to wait it out just infuriates the hell out of me. Even if you THINK there were no survivors, there is no excuse for them to not try anyway. Negligence is too good a word for them.
Like the Kursk and the Sewol tragedies.
The airline likely didn’t want any survivors to save them a ton of lawsuits
@@autismman102 the airline aren't in charge of the JDF lmao
@@merrynesther but you can’t deny that JDF was most likely corrupt
There are safety standards/requirements. It was simply not safe enough to get to the wreckage. If you read the US record up until 1985, you will also see why the Japanese refused help from the US military.
11:47 "Its the end". Chilling. RIP.
Show nuff
is it the best translation? or does it also translate to "there's nothing more I can do"
@@greensombrero3641 It sounds like he says もうダメ -- which is closer to what you said.
It's hard to fully catch. But it does sound like mou dame. Basically he's given given up. Like that's it. N
@@johnbyrne4256 If I heard correctly he said "終わりだ", literally means " (It's) the end." It was kinda unnerving hearing this, you can only imagine what they saw in the last moments.
The Americans should have just started their rescue and asked questions later. 16 hours, for the Japanese is absolutely shocking.
Come to think of it, the US is usually “act now, ask questions later”. It’s strange that they did the opposite
Edit: I said this as a joke, but I didn’t do a good job at showing that
@@atticusbulan3508 probably not wanting to harshen relations.
Only a minute into the video, but it might’ve been a crime to do something like that without clearance. Ideally, we would want people to disregard rules when lives are on the line, but that’s at the risk of putting strain on political relations. It’s entering another’s territory without permission, which is not taken kindly. At best the intrusion is forgiven, at worse we are instigating something.
It’s reminiscent of the Soviet “Kursk” submarine, where various countries offered their assistance to save any personal trapped, but were heavily limited in what the USSR allowed them to do. At the end, they did the best they could with what they were allowed. Yes, they probably could have rescued some crewmen if they didn’t wait for permission, but this was the USSR and they had nukes; it’s not smart to test the waters (ironic) when the water is known for excessive monitoring and control.
But idk 🤷
That would have been an illegal act and there was no reason to assume survivors.
@@natureandphysics403 never assume
Ive heard my fair share of blackbox recordings but this... this is the most haunting
for me, GOL 1907 is the most haunting, but this is scary as well.
This one is depressing, but I'm always amazed at the cool-headed skill the pilots showed in keeping that plane aloft as long as they did. It's unfortunate that they couldn't pull off the miracle, but their performance is every bit as admirable as Capt. Sullenburger, or the guys who managed to drag United 232 to Sioux City in 1989.
The most heartbreaking ones are where the pilots are showing incredible skill and determination, and yet still can't save things. They deserve highest honors.
@@BudSchnelker it's chilling
They struggled so valiantly that even knowing the end it still came as a shock. It takes discipline and a strong will to keep your head when disaster is probable. Apparently simulations have found their composure was only exceeded by their airmanship, as most pilots were unable to keep the plane aloft for so long.
If I was the family of those passengers I would be **furious** knowing my loved one may have survived the initial crash only to die all alone of blood loss or exposure. The people who made the decision to wait until morning on behalf of the Japanese authorities should’ve been criminally charged for such a negligent decision.
How absolutely horrifying. My heart goes out to the passengers, and the crew who were fighting until the very end.
But how could a SAR be carried out at night safely in regard to the aircrew of the rescue aircraft?
@@flyingphobiahelp Easy. Swallow your pride and let the airforce help like they wanted to. They're trained for shit like that.
@@flyingphobiahelp The local US military force was ready to start rescue efforts that night and sought permission from the Japanese authorities. They were denied.
It was US Marines that were in the area when the aircraft crashed. The Japanese have always had a bit of a problem with US Marines on their soil because they get drunk and do stupid shit in town. Although that was part of the problem, the Marines that were near the crash called in to assist with rescue, but Japan said it was their problem and they alone will deal with it. It was more of a national pride problem than anything. What should have happened were the Marines should have just commenced rescue operations anyways and ask forgiveness later. The japanese would have respected the honor of goodwill.
@@utley of all thing you think people can just swallow their pride at moment like that, some people let their pride ruin other people life, especially politician and sometimes military.
A very famous Japanese singer died in this crash. He was Kyu Sakamoto who had a song he sang in Japanese titled "Ue o Muite Arukou." The song was the number 1 hit in America in June of 1963. I had just finished my junior year in high school. Kyu wrote out a note to his family on a napkin and it survived the crash. His wife still has it. Please search RUclips for the song and the singer. I listen to the song often and never get tired of it. You'll like it, too.
It’s a beautiful song. I first heard of it from the American version “Sukiyaki”. I didn’t know he died in the crash until a few months after I first heard the song
It's a wonderful song. Such a shame about what happened to him and the other passangers and crew.
it was indeed a beautiful song and so sad he died on this flight.
A beautifully sad song made a little sadder by these events.
Sad fact: the 3 artists that sampled or sang this song (Sakamoto, Selena, and Avicii), have died.
Never have I been bothered by black box recordings until now. The desperation and realization in their voices made me tear up. Bless them dearly.
Check out PSA 182, pilot literally said, "Ma, I love ya" seconds before crashing
AirPeru 603. AirFrance 447. enjoy
As I said in reply to another comment here - it's the single most haunting CVR I think has ever been released, IMO. The full 10 minutes from when disaster first struck is up on RUclips and it is... a tough listen. It did a number on my mental health just hearing it; it is harrowing. May they all rest in peace.
very bad pilots not to search for water
I find this the most tragic and disturbing incident in aviation history. It's frustrating to know that the cause of this crash was insufficient repair on the bulkhead.
Still, the pilots did everything they could to save the plane and its passengers. It's painful to listen to the CVR and the desperation in the pilot's voices.
Rest in peace to all the 520 souls on board who perished that fateful day. It's unbelievable that this was over 35 years ago.
There's too many stories of planes crashing due to lacking in maintenance. These pilots did an amazing job flying the plane as long as they did
@@ThatOneDude219 no Boeing did a crappy repair job
It's amazing how much maintenance and repair crews do against the regulations and the documentation. Either the documentation is so bad that they cannot understand it (which I don't believe) or for some reason that crew often includes people that think they can bend the rules. The two accidents described in this video are just two examples of such behavior.
@@MikkoRantalainen no boeing is a crappy company. they lost 3 737 due to bad rudder pistons
@@MikkoRantalainen that does not excause boeing building a crappy plane
The sad thing is that they tried so hard until the end. They even knew when it was the end.
I heard that the first rule of aviation is to never give up throw everything at the wall and see what stick even if they in vain.
@@reynaldiwidjaja277 “Never stop flying the plane”
What is scary is that you’d never know if you’re in one of these repaired planes
This was a non-repaired aircraft.
@@natureandphysics403 It was repaired but not correctly
I think that nowadays it's possible to check the full history of a plane from some internet sources and check if there has been a long period the plane hasn't been used. Of course, there's no way to figure if any repairs done are done correctly. However, it should be possible to figure out if no major repairs have ever been done.
You just gave me aviophobia (fear of flying)
It was what I like to call, afro engineered.
Every time I watch this - I want them to somehow succeed.
“This is the end!” followed by that loud impact was absolutely sobering. Every time I watch this it gives me such a heartbreaking feeling. The crew did all they could…
This crash is one of the most horrifying in aviation history to me. It's always felt so particularly helpless and horrible.
Flight 427 to me was right up there. Just didn't kill as many people.
What about German Wings? Total nightmare.
Gol 1907 for me... Not because I'm Brazilian but because how easy that "accident" could be avoided...
It was up in the air long enough for passengers to write good-bye letters to loved ones.
I could see that, however the Skynyrd crash was one of mine. They KNEW they were going to crash. For a good 10 minutes. Imagine THAT one. Omg.
Not sure if the dummy co-pilot accidentally dumped fuel or what. He seemed a bit cocky to me.
It was also a POS plane that Areosmith bypassed bying.
My daughter speaks fluent Japanese and Mandarin and when she first heard recordings from Flight 123, noted the tone and specific phraseology used was urgent but gentle, almost polite throughout. Wish I knew where to find it now but I remember her saying how even in the final moments when it was utterly hopeless, the co-pilot and flight engineer still responded to instruction by the Captain with “Sir” What really bothered her was the British voice intermittently giving emergency instruction through the PA system. You only just hear the very end of it around 9:50 saying “Put the mask over your face” and hearing it again now, I just realised it's almost identical to the 1980's UK “Protect & Survive” nuclear attack warning video. The length of time they spent desperately fighting a hopeless battle and the absolute terror passengers must have experienced is the worst, most horrific thing I can imagine 😢
The flight crew are legends. They did all that was expected of them and more, in circumstances no pilot should have been in. Heartbreaking tragedy.
People working in the airplane manufacturing/repair industry need to understand that the smallest negligence will cause death.
It is a miracle of flying that they managed to stay in the air for half an hour with no tail fin
What's also cool is people have simulated this exact scenario, lost tail fin and no controls only being flaps and engine. They all crashed under 10 mins. Half an hour is impossible but it happened
Absolutely terrible incident. RIP to all those who perished. Very surprising that 4 people survived. I’ve seen a few programs on this. One of the more informative here. More could have survived though if the Japanese authorities hadn’t stopped the American guys.
@I Love Rias Gremory Old men always are stuck in their prideful ways.
Sad that if only they let the US help, as they have faster and better access to the location, probably more of them can be saved. But i do hope they learn from this experience.
hope the people that denied the help sent straight to hell
@I Love Rias Gremory
Reminds me of the South Korean ferry incident.
Did something similar happen during the serin gas attack?
What can you say about the crew of JAL 123, save that they did their duty to the end, and never gave up trying? Captain Masami Takahama, First Officer Yutaka Sasaki, and Flight Engineer Hiroshi Fukuda; may they be at peace.
R.I.P!!! What a tradegy for the fighting crew + all the passengers.
Yeah R.I.P
im speechless at the government’s gross negligence leaving those possible survivors- also god forbid for those few that did survive having to watch and listen to those around them pass.
Absolutely horrific. After a holiday full of joy and happiness and family, their lives are ended in sheer terror. Heartbreaking to think about. Those pilots are heroes for their effort to save the plane. Rest In Peace 🙏
I usually don't cry at these cases even if I'm very sad about all of them, but this blackbox recording really broke my heart. I cried so hard hearing their end. Rest in peace, they were so brave until the end, true heroes.
Bless you heart. 🙏🏼
Lightbulb: Modern aircraft should have external cameras pointing at all important flight structures so crew will have a better picture of things if they go wrong.
They do
they do?😷😳
are you sure?
the OP mentioned "ALL" important structures.
.
do we even have 4 or 5 feeds on any displays inside the coxkpits of any modern passenger planes in most airlines?
We need 3rd person view
@@sailaab all they would need is one monitor that switches between each structure or can lock onto a specific chosen area during an emergency.
And cockpit cameras aimed at the controls and crew so they can see everything that happened in case of an accident... and maybe keep the recordings confidential unless an accident occurs...
Maybe every time the plane lands safe the video gets deleted or begins to get ready to be recorded over.. this way the pilots would still get to keep their privacy...
My Mum flew into Hong Kong in the 1980s and she said it was one of the most terrifying moments of her life. She could actually look into the windows of the apartment buildings and practically see people sitting down for supper!
“Whoop whoop. Pull up! Pull up!” Is something you never wanna hear.
Unless it’s a game
And then it’s complete annihilation.
Especially if you’re flying through the mountains on a foggy day
Especially when you have yoke that does nothing when you pull it.
Pilots hear that all the time when approaching kai tak
How in the name of God even 4 people managed to survive when over 500 were killed is absolutely incredible! I’d love to hear from any of the survivors
I'm surprised how those folks survived. Especially surviving a plane basically falling from 24,000 ft, it would be impossible to survive at that altitude due to hypoxia. Now, most long haul planes fly at 35,000 ft, but this short haul flight flew at a lower altitude. It is impressive, yet sad how the plane could fly with no tail structure for so long. RIP to the 520 passengers that didn't make it. God bless the souls of the four survivors, and I hope they are healed and have support from family members and friends after this shocking accident. Hopefully maintenance crews put more attention to safety, which for the most part, the mechanics do well nowadays.
There are a lot of Japanese documentaries that had interviewed these familes. 2 of the survivors were a mothrr and daughter. The father, sister and brother of this family died. The mother recalls hearing her son call out for her. A 12 year old girl, her entire family except her older brother who stayed home, died. And she kept being interviewed and folllowed by the media. A flight attendant who was On the flight off duty survived. She returned to flying after recovering. All 4 of these women were crazy strong and had such harrowing stories.
@@WesNishi that's very powerful a flight attendant returning to flying after that crash all them people died makes you realise how strong that person is .
I am a flight attendant and before every flight I say a prayer in my heart. RIP to all passengers and crew lost in aviation accidents.
The fact that the plane managed to remain in the air for so long makes it even more disturbing as the ordeal of the passengers continued for so long
That 30 minutes must have been like child birth sober. Omg.
Very good chance many of them had already lost consciousness due to hypoxia. We can hope anyway
@@mikexxxmilly you can see in the picture at the beginning they were conscious. Some wrote letters to loved ones. One thing is certain in the picture, no one wants to look out the window.
What's really sad is that there was nothing the pilots could do, the plane was going to crash. 😭
They could have survived if the terrain wasn’t mountains or they did a sea landing. The issue was they were trying to make it to the airport
@@GrabbaBeer Yeah, but without hydraulics the plane was uncontrollable, I don't know what a water landing would have done.
The saddest thing for me was the selfishness and pride of the Japanese authorities who refused American because of pride and politics. Extremely selfish decision that got more people killed.
So intense... imagine the last thing you hear is the calm robot voice... pull up... pull up...
Remember reading about some plane crash in the south Asian region. They crashed into a hill or mountain. The last words you hear on the CVR is the Ground Proximity alarm saying "Pull up, pull up" and one of the pilots asking in their native language, "What does 'Pull up' mean?"
@@benjalucian1515 that sounds like bs... shouldn't ALL trained pilots know what that means?
@@Rohgamu - the language of aviation is English. The warning is in English. Not every pilot is that fluent in English.
"this is the end." after all those horrific warnings and sounds. What a nightmare
I worked on 747s for a while as a sheet metal mechanic and we learned quite a bit from this disaster. First off, the pressure bulkhead is segmented; its the shape and built like a satellite dish you would have seen as a kid - segmented triangular panels that are concave like the end of a balloon or a propane bottle. The damage was in between these sections that overlap a stiffener and not uniform in shape or size. The repair was done on along a joint on this bulkhead and the Boeing SRM wasnt correct with this type of repair. Boeing engineers devised and authorized the repair that was mentioned in this video, and the inspection was bought off. However, what they did NOT do was make the repair an RII (required inspection item) that is time sensitive. Normally you would have an inspection on a structural repair like this, say, every 1, 3, 5, 10 years and so on to monitor the repair. In this case, the repair was not lifetime limited, and thats what ultimately lead to the failure. You would think that this bulkhead could come out of the aircraft and just be replaced, but this bulkhead separates the empennage section from the fuselage, and you would have to disassemble the entire aft section of the aircraft to pull it out. I used to have pictures of this item, but you can just google them and see for yourself. The elevator jack screw sits right behind that bulkhead; Ive worked on a few of them in the last few years. The repair on this was the correct repair; follow on maintenance and inspection is what was wrong.
Oh, you mean the round thing inside the tail that does the pressurization?
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 yes, its shaped like a satellite dish, pizza segments and all.
Was this tail strike that damaged the plane a landing tail strike?? I’ve never heard of a 747 tail strike while landing but thought the tail strike happened while taking off. I know they do happen taking off sometimes but didn’t know they also can do it landing?? The video explains a tail strike as a landing tail strike.
@@jacobhendrickson8935 tailstrike on landing
@@utley well I learned something new then in this video.
Why am I just noticed this bloody Incident now?
ThIs accident over 25 years ago
Yes, watch the full story on air crash investigation. It's so sad. I watched it many years ago and makes me angry to this day.
@@malalapipe77 The tragedy of Japan Airlines flight 123 horrified and sickened me because the Japanese Self-Defense Force were hesitant to ask for help. I watched a documentary about the crash of Japan Airlines flight 123 on the National Geographic TV show "Seconds From Disaster" and I was appalled by how long it took rescuers to arrive at the crash site. However, I will say that the Japanese Transportation Safety Board did a good job handling the investigation of the train derailment at Amagasaki Station in Osaka, Japan back in April of 2005.
I'm not too sure I'd want to survive that. I couldn't imagine living the rest of my life with something that terrible always there
it would be pretty life changing eh. i cant imagine ever been fully at peace after this sort of trauma
The survivors of United air flight 232 certainly knows how that feels.
So sad hearing the panic in their voices and realizing there wasn't anything more they could do. RIP
It’s so haunting and sad to hear the pilots last minutes alive, fighting for their lives and the passengers lives.
That moment of self realization and futility in the captains voice, "This is the end!" :(((((
Rest in peace to all those who lost their lives and condolences to all of their loved ones left behind in this tragedy.
9:14 You can hear in his voice he’s lost all hope! This is a terrifying experience , it was going up and down like a extreme roller coaster! I feel so sorry for all these people!
N
I've watched Air Crash Investigation's episode of this many times, but have never heard the actual voice recordings from the cockpit. It's so eerie and horrible to hear the pilots and the actual crash: to know what's going to happen and to know you cannot help.
The point japan rejected usa help is just unforgivable.
This accident is the reason why I believe we’ll never see a regularly scheduled flight with 600+ passengers. This and COVID now...
What is the maximum
That doesnt make sense at all.
We dont see it because most planes dont carry more than 3-400 because simply there is no demand for big planes like the 747 or A380, and this was before corona
If it was possible , they would cram 1000 people into this kerosene power tin cans . Mainly economics and perhaps technology is the reason we don't have that . Airlines are not bothered about how many people are going to die if their plane goes down . People are just part of the risk benefit ratio of optimising profits. That's the way it is , right or wrong
Dude this was in 1985
How isn’t this channel bigger?
Great video as usual

How terrifying for those poor passengers and crew. My condolences
The JDF should've let the US military go and help them, the locals even heard the survivors calling for help but can't get to them
let's not forget that it was an American Company that was responsible for the defect that caused this crash to happen in the first place.
520 people were killed by an American company.
@@山下清-n9z let's not forget that you were paid by the CCP
@@山下清-n9z And it would have been less than 520 if whichever idiot was in command at the JDF had let the US military conduct SAR ops. Nobody is denying the Boeing team did a terrible job, but so did the JDF.
The things that makes me so angry about this accident is the first SAR mission was over the crash site when they were told to stand down and had to turn back without even attempting a landing and rescue. Instead of saving lives, the Japanese authorities seemed more concerned with jurisdiction, and had also assumed that there were no survivors so didn't hurry to get to the crash site.
Several people died on that mountain overnight that didn't have to, all because of a bureaucratic handbag fight. In the event of a disaster, you must always assume that there are survivors until proven otherwise, otherwise people who could have been saved will be lost.
All for the sake of nationalist pride most likely. Still see this today though it's not half as bad as it was
Heard many flight accidents but JL123 is the one that haunts me the most
Such a crisp, clear, and modernised telling of this story, thank you!
I have subscribed.
I can’t I have to much people I subbed
11:53 the sound of the GPWS blaring & the loud slam followed by the CVS ending is pretty haunting .
I cannot believe 4 people survived. I wish the rescue crews could have got to them. Those poor souls. 💔. Rest In Peace.
"It's the end."
The chills that sends up my spine.
The crew did their best.
This was a tough one. RIP to the lost souls and their families, those helpless pilots seemed to do more than humanly possible. I know that it's been simulated and no other pilots were able to keep flying the plane as long as they had managed.
RIP. Planes really need a control surface overhaul. There need to be backups routed through different parts of the fuselage, on separate hydraulics
Too heavy, plus many are fly by wire now.
@@aurktman1106 WiFi fly by wire lol
@@goclunker huh? What’s WiFi have to do with this?
@@aurktman1106 redundant systems: weight. WiFi: no miles of wiring. Surely, you get the joke
I believe that this plane already had quadruple redundant hydraulic system. The problem is that every system controls all the parts of the plane and when the whole tail rips off, you have a huge leak in every system.
The only way to make it more reduntant would be to e.g. accept that if e.g. all but hydraulic system C fails, you may lose control of left wing. That way you don't need to put any part of the system C inside the left wing. You could still have triple redundant system where systems A, B and D control the left wing in normal case.
As these systems are currently designed, you lose control of wings only if ALL redundant systems fail at the same time. And the failure is expected to be caused by different reason for each system.
This was the flight that Ryu Sakamoto was on. He was a famous Japanese singer......his most famous song made it to Number 1 in many countries in the early 60s.
Yep, it's called "Sukiyaki". I still have my original 45 rpm record of the song. His name was Kyu Sakamoto. The song was recorded in English in the early 80s by the Pointer Sisters. (Jan Griffiths).
How do you mean, he was on this flight? According to Wikipedia, he is still alive and currently fighting cancer. No mention of surviving this disaster.
It was Kyu Sakamoto.

Fly the aircraft. Rule one. That they did (and how they managed is truly amazing!), until the very moment they hit the mountain. RIP
Last conversation are chilling, and I small tear came out..respect to this pilot and all pilots to keep flying the plane until the last moment
On August 12, 1985, Kyu Sakamoto was aboard Japan Airlines Flight 123 (departing from Tokyo), heading to Osaka for an event. The plane crashed into two ridges of Mount Takamagahara in Ueno, Gunma, a disaster that remains the deadliest single-aircraft accident in history with 520 people killed, including Sakamoto. He was interred at Chōkoku-ji Temple in the central Minato-ku area in Tokyo.
It’s literally like losing your steering wheel on a car and not being able to stop
Another great video! You definitely deserve more recognition!
calling out for help all night, only getting quieter and quieter... Thanks for telling the US to stand down till the next day...
SAR ready to go, it's a sin that they didn't let the USAF from Yokota AFB go to help those poor survivors! R.I.P. dear souls!
Teacher: what is your worst fear
Me: whoop pull up whoop whoop pull up the👁-👁
it is incredible that for 7 years nobody noticed the incorrect repairs. What about the scheduled maintenances?
Hearing the TAWS going off and the fear in the pilots' voice is so heartbreaking.
If I'm not mistaken, Japanese authorities refused the help from the U.S. military out of pride, like in a "We got this, we don't need your help" way, but then postponed the rescue till the morning because the Japanese rescue team wanted to sleep before beginning the work. It was a huge scandal. That's an insane reason to postpone rescue efforts.
Especially when the U.S. rescue team was prepped and ready to go.
@sarge6870 The refusal of any foreign help is shocking by itself, but i wouldn't necessarily say that this refusal killed those surviving people. What really killed almost all that initially survived the crash was not starting their own rescue right away because of "We work better when we had a good sleep first". It's just unbelievable. While people were slowly and painfully dying and crying for help, they slept warm in their beds. I don't even know how they even managed to sleep that night knowing what just happened and knowing that there might be survivors fighting for their lives. I also read that they didn't start the rescue until morning because they were sure that nobody could've survived such a crash and that's why they went to sleep instead... They didn't even take a look at the crash site to confirm this first. They just assumed it and it was good enough for them. According to reports, it was shocking for them to discover 4 people still being alive in the morning because they were 100% certain that nobody survived even though they didn't even checked.
I like Japan and their culture, but i do have to say that this delayed rescue operation comes all down to the faulty mentality of the Japanese nation. They often forget to think and act in a human way and insted analyse situations like robots. Writing those initial survivors off just because their brains calculated like some kind of software that nobody could've possibly survived this. They forget to act with their hearts and with hope. And don't even get me started on their unhealthy sense of pride.
The passengers probably had their chance to say goodbye and calmly entering hypoxia phase and passed out before the impact. That's so horrifying picture to imagine
They don't sound hypoxic to me...just saying.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 they very much do at the start
I've never heard the voices of these pilots before. It's so intense, I stayed rattled for hours. Those pilots were warriors. Still pisses me off that 'somebody' declined the US to help omg that hurts. 💔😢🙏
The most terrifying thing I've ever heard was probably the "PULL UP" from the airplane... it gave me crazy chills.
These videos are much better than the numerous videos of flight simulator footage and text from other creators. Really good explanations.
Ik whom are you talking about
I like that one tbf
@@witheeeeeerx Pelinal Whitestrake is right, I have seen several videos published on these channels. Why don't you search for yourself?
Damn! August 12, 1975...My 3rd birthday! Amazing pilots! They did a great job despite the unbelievable structural damage to be able to keep the bird aloft for the time they did! May they R.I.P!
That blackbox recording is haunting.... Hearing the on flight systems saying to "pull up", knowing that no matter what those pilots wanted they couldnt... The acceptance that they were gonna crash at this moment. The hopelessness of the situation is too much. All because they failed to repair damage correctly...
5:22 I find that picture to be so haunting for some reason, I keep wondering where did it come from and that may be one of the reasons why I personally consider this alongside the Tenerife disaster to be the mother of all airplane crashes.
Hell that pic ain't shit compared to the one taken inside the damn thing. How that flight attendant stood there answering god knows what dumbass question is wild.
I love the videos like this with a narrator, I hate reading a video..
The Flight Channel needs audio!
@@malalapipe77 Tell me about it, I actually unsubscribed and stopped watching their videos, hard to do anything else and read a youtube video at the same time..
That picture from inside the plane. That flight attendant still doing their job even though they all know it's hopeless. Wild how not one person has their window open.
These sacrifices make a bright future in aviation. Thank you to these pilots and may they rest in peace!
It's scary to think of accidents that happen up to a decade after a repair, makes you wonder how many more planes in the sky are vulnerable 🤔🤯
The Pilots are heros... he tried all... RIP all... Never forget that day... i was 5 years old... 😢😢😢
I think this is by far one of the least dramatic and most respectful reconstructions of the event. However I found the ads in the middle of the video a little bit taking away from the representation.
I must apologize if you are getting an ad in the middle of the video. As it turns out the music used was claimed by a third party for this video. As such I believe and ad gets dropped in randomly, I didn't put it there and I wish I could change it. I will try using new music for the next video. Thanks.
@@DisasterBreakdown Thank you for answering.
A lot of people survived the crash but ended up dying from hypothermia cause it took so long for rescuers to reach them.
I have so much respect for these pilots and their incredible effort to save the plane all the way to the final moment. 😢
The pilots were heroes.
Hats off to the pilots for not giving up and fighting to the end but that CVR was hard to listen to.
Mad respect for the crew.
In the cockpit, in the cabin and in the tower.
A lot we as a society could learn from that.
R.I.P. LEGENDS LIVE FOREVER
It's amazing that people survived this crash...
Great pilots. They tried everything.
RIP.
The fact the cockpit voice recorder caught the forst moments of the crash is so chilling.
Will you do an episode on Air New Zealand flight 901 ane the Mount Erebus disaster? I'd be happy to fund it's creation personally!
“It is the end” holy goosebumps
Thanks for the upload man!
8:33 Nagoya is located where you identified Osaka. Osaka is far more to the west.
Scariest part about the recording was " It's the end "
R.I.P everyone that died😔
"It's the end." Sent chills down my spine
