- Wikipedia: Japan Airlines Flight 123 was a scheduled domestic Japan Airlines passenger flight from Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Osaka International Airport, Japan. On August 12, 1985, a Boeing 747SR operating this route suffered a sudden decompression twelve minutes into the flight and crashed in the area of Mount Takamagahara, Ueno, Gunma Prefecture, 100 kilometres (62 miles; 54 nautical miles) from Tokyo thirty-two minutes later. The crash site was on Osutaka Ridge, near Mount Osutaka.

Hearing the “WHOOP WHOOP, PULL UP” in real life is on another level of horror
That sound haunts me
We are more used to hearing it in flight sims when we are joking around,stalling the plane and crashing it for fun
Exactly how I felt. In FSX its like haha yeah shut up game
in real life its like hearing a death sentence
@@RayanfhoulaBR all fun and games until you heard it irl
@@sightseer1027 I mean,it sure is
This was one of the greatest pilots that ever lived . He wrestled with the plane for over 30 mins in mountain area.
Crew of three performed well: Captain, Co-Pilot, Flight Engineer
Absolutely !! He is the hero
Who was? The captain, first officer, or flight engineer?
The fact that this flight crew kept this airborne cinder block in the air for thirty minutes amazes me to this day. Incredible display of airmanship. Zero hydraulics, virtually zero aerodynamics, no rudder… astounding. I hope they found peace in the fact they still saved lives. Many were still alive after the crash, but died throughout the night waiting for rescue. God rest them all.
@@Crunchyalmondmilk I think all of them are the heroes
Besides the crash, there‘s a bigger horror many forgot: Japanese authorities deemed that nobody could survive such a crash and therefore decided to dispatch rescue efforts the next day. When they arrived at the scene, only 4 survivors were found. It was later confirmed that at least 50 people had survived the crash but died due to no medical treatment, blood loss or hypothermia. Imagine crashing in a horrific plane crash only to slowly die in a burning wreck in the middle of nowhere. No one can answer your calls for help, no one will come to help you... Horrific...
" It was later confirmed that at least 50 people had survived the crash but died due to no medical treatment, blood loss or hypothermia." Credible source please.
@@McLarenMercedes it's widely known information easily found online. Go find your own credible source rather than expecting others to prove stuff for you.. nobody has to do that.

I've seen how different people handle crisis. Not everyone can hold it together.
In flight school, you're taught that there's one, fundamental lesson to all situations that arise, a lesson these two exemplified magnificently.
"You never, EVER stop trying."
That actually applies to just about everything that involves your life on the line. If a car loses its brakes or is stuck in cruise control, who would give up?
Thank you for saying that, never STOP TRYING..
@@ARedMotorcycle many do. Straight arm white knuckling the steering wheel isn’t driving.

This man saved four people's lives on a crash like this? I expected no survivors at All plus he kept it in the air without hydraulics! This man is a legend
He saved more than 4 people. Many people were still alive after the crash, but died in the cold while waiting for the rescue team to arrive, according to the survivor stories.
They decided: People dying > foreigners saving people
@@NerdX151 how many?
@@nxtro4191 It's hard to say how many were alive. The survivors said that there were several voices they could here throughout the night, so I'lm guessing atleast 15 people initially survived the impact.
@IAintActive yep
I was once told that the passengers had around 30 min between the initial decompression and the final crash. Knowing that they would likely die many of the passengers wrote farewell letters. One of the passengers simply wrote "Machiko (wife), please take care of the kids" on the back of a business card, and put it in with his drivers license into his back pocket so they could identify his body. He could have written anything, but in his last moments he was most worried about his kids. Gets me emotional every time I think about it.
Wouldn't most people write a message to their family?
@@gh3meister He likely didn't realize he had that much time left. Might've written it right after decompression.
That’s also the last words my grandfather said to my grandma when he was dying.
The saddest part is when the Captain says, “it’s the end.” Facing your final seconds with your eyes wide open and your mind on full consciousness,; and you realize that hundreds will dye together with you, and you’ll never have the chance to see your loved ones ever again; at least not in the flesh. I think every human being should have a special plan for moments just like that, where you only have a heartbeat’s worth of time left to put your serenity plan in motion.
Don't wait for that moment to implement your serenity plan
You tell what; we all thinking, your right .
what would you suggest the plan to be
I seen this translated by someone who spoke Japanese and what is the more closely related English translation was “ I can do no more” he knew he did everything he could and was helpless 😞 It so hard to hear
@@gerrycameron3685 what yours would be?
They flew it till the end.
Fucken legends
they flew like that for over 30 minutes
@Drakilicious what they mean is that they were able to keep control of it without the stablizer for quite a long time
@maga 2020 rose nope, due to the engines being located below the center of gravity, by adding more throttle the plane nosed up, and when they decreased power it nosed down, furthermore they were able to control the yaw using individual throttle controls (differential thrust) i believe the one fatal mistake they made was lowering the flaps, as you can hear in the recording, they repeatedly say “flap up”.
@@drivinmiatas5068 maybe that was a mistake but let's give them a break. Losing all hydraulics and the rear stabiliser is probably every pilot's nightmare. They would probably prefer loss of all engine thrust to this. I mean without engines you can still fly it as a glider and use inertial speed to try and get it down before stalling it
The flight crew saved FOUR lives with their HEROIC efforts. This is one of the greatest aviation feats of all time. The flight crew’s efforts were not in vain. They are heroes for immortality…!
they saves over 50 but guess who didn't? *JAPANESE AUTHORITIES!!!!!* 👏👏👏👏👏👏
and no this isnt a racist joke im serious
A
@@LitoMikeyeah, japanese authorities denied the rescue operation because the crash was "too unlikely to survive"
then, when a us air force helicopter was on en route to the crash site, THE AUTHORITIES DENIED IT AND SAID THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE BASE.
50 died to injuries, hypothermia, and other stuff after the crash.
@@hotcocoa_xDThey didn't recall an american rescue helicopter, that's a misremembering of the story that's crept into the telling over the years. What happened was that an american plane found the crash site, then a Japanese heli reported no signs of life from the air at the site, which led to the Japanese gov't foolishly turning down an offer of American assistance. And no one knows how many additional lives were lost because of this, just that some were.
According to a woman who survived this (The off-duty stewardess), she said she heard people scream and cry because the unimaginable pain over the first hour, then their voices started fading away slowly each hours, and a few hours later all the sounds were gone leaving her and other survivors only silence in the middle of darkness..
@Scootaloo0 after the crash, it's believed around 50 people originally survived but due to their injuries and no help being dispatch immediately. They died with only 4 survivors.
“It’s the end”
That one line is so sad.
@@AcogR4C agree
Captain Masami Takahama (高浜 雅己) First Officer Yutaka Sasaki (佐々木 祐) Flight Engineer Hiroshi Fukuda (福田 博) I pray they are at rest.
Really sad.
Nobody like to hear those world 😞
The single thing scarier than any ghost, murderer, monster, killer insect or whatever your nightmares are made of:
"Sink Rate. Whoop Whoop! Pull up!"
There's only one thing more terrifying to a pilot than "WHOOP WHOOP! PULL UP!" or "TOO LOW! TERRAIN!" and that's, "Call this number for possible pilot deviation."
NoJusticeNoPeace what is this exactly? Sorry for my ignorance
@@DK07x It's something the tower tells a pilot if they've disobeyed an instruction, and something every pilot dreads since it means a formal FAA investigation.
NoJusticeNoPeace thank you
@Joe Battiloro He's not talking about them. He's just making a joke. smh
They looked death in the eye and decided to fight him like warriors. Fair play to them. So sad they didn't make it, they knew it was futile and rather than choosing an easy way out, fought to the end. Heroes.
The real do not cower......the real rise. RIP to MEN .

@@deadendfriends1975 Both are "real". No one can have an absolute control on their own ability to rise.
We call those who rise as heroes not because they are the only real ones. But rather because they avoided the other reality of not being able to rise up.
Don't shit on others who might not have risen.
Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.
The fact that the pilots were able to keep this behemoth in the air for 30 minutes without a vertical stabiliser and rudder is extraordinary. Even though this was still a tragedy with only 4 people surviving the accident, people surviving this crash at all especially in the immediate aftermath made them heroes. RIP to the crew and the passengers that didn't survive long enough for rescue.
actually alot more people surived then 4, bu they all died in the cold or to other injuries sense so rescue teams were sent
Flying with a missing rudder is fairly easy, it's flying without a vertical stabilizer and absolutely no controls at all aside from thrust that's impressive
Fyi Another fact about JAL123 is that they could of easily gone longer with fighting the aircraft or even landed it. If you have seen an animation of the FDR you will notice that the plane banks hard to the right while in a sort of spiral downward before impact. And you might be wondering why they are saying “flap up” even though they have no hydraulic pressure, in the Boeing 747 there is a emergency electric motor for flapping that slowly moves the flaps when you press a switch and that’s what they were referring to when they said “flap up” but this electric motor was the cause of the spiral motion the plane went into. The motor started to act up on the pilots and basically started doing its own thing which made the right flap to go up and the left flap go down to 15+ degrees which caused the plane to have an imbalanced lift ratio on the wings causing the plane to start banking and leading to a loss of lift on the wings causing the aircraft ultimately to crash Into the mountain
They did all they can do, and they made it-4 people survived, thats still something
He gave the rest of the passengers onboard 32 precious minutes more of life than anybody else could have given them. Those 32 minutes of extra life were an amazing gift to all on board. It is humbling to think about how hard the flight crew tried.
Should have been a lot more, at least getting medical attention. A very sorry chapter for the Japanese rescue services. The flight crew had done such a good job!
@Electric Cafe The most drawn out miserable death is dying of some geriatric cause. One could be dying for years. Yet, everyone says they want to die of an old age related cause. 32 minutes is nothing when compared to several years of a slow, agonizing, filthy, degrading, crippling death. Plus, there will be a small adventure before the end. The dying of a geriatric cause is also extremely mind numbing. Dying of any cause is better than dying of an old aged related cause.
@@indridcold8433 It's still dying. It's not fun just because you're not dying of old age.
@@twizz420 It is never going to be fun. It is simply better than dying of some geriatric ralated cause. Nothing is worse than dying of a geriatric related cause. Even a violent murder, as horrible as it is, is still over much, much, quicker than any old age related death and there is a lot less suffering. The murder is extremely terrifying, and painful. But it will not be a festering, decomposing, drawn out, agonizing death like some geriatric cause. My worse fear is to die a disgusting geriatric death. I want the death process to just get over and I die. I never want to rot away in body and mind over years and be in pain for years.
Isn't this the flight that latter on. They got numerous top pilots to sit in a simulator to recreate the flight and none of the pilots kept the aircraft in the air for as long as the JAL 123 flight crew did.
Same as UA Flight 232 that came down at Sioux City Airport. 185 survived out of 296 including flight deck crew. Pilots in the simulator couldn't come close.
shellsbignumber2 same thing with the Hudson River Landing, someone tried to land there in a simulator and couldn’t do it.. all the attempts failed
@@thefidgetspinner2007 in the movie it said that some of the pilots did recreate the incident in the simulator but with a few attempts (and with some adjustment), while the original crew only got ONE attempt.
because actual incident they all know what will happen. they all get adrenalin which is give he best effort to survive. while in simulator you all know they’re not dead.
rip heroes
No I believe that was the United DC-10 crash where the pilots landed the plane without any flight controls saving half of the people on the aircraft. Not a single sim crew of the best pilots in the world could land the aircraft safely.
That “whoop, whoop, pull up!” always gives me chills. I remember seeing the movie about the miracle in the Hudson and the gpws sound scared the hell out of me. Those pilots were amazing. They kept the aviary equivalent of a brick in the air for 30 minutes before the crash.
JAL Flight 123 was flying over Yaizu 12 minutes after takeoff, when the aft pressure bulkhead was damaged and 60% of the vertical stabilizer was destroyed. Even in that situation, we had a 32-minute duel with just the engine thrust, flaps, and alternator. It takes a tremendous amount of skill to fly this plane, but the captain on this flight was able to fly it. He is one of the greatest pilots who have ever lived. Even now in Japan, the news of JAL 123 flight flows every year on August 12th.
The most disturbing thing is when he said " this is the end" it really puts it in perspective just what was going through their minds
As the captain he had to say something because everyone else is in silence Terror for the last 15 seconds. At least he said A fitting phrase, a simple perfect phrase
Look up the video where one of the pilots says: "This is it, boys" seconds before impact.
It sure does and makes you not want to fly. While the odds of being in a plane crash are small. Normally plane accidents drag out for many minutes before the plane actually crashes. It’s literally torture for the passengers which is why I’ll be driving
Yeah, who'd have thought the 1960s rock band The Doors would be the last thing he thought about? Weird.
Man just looking at this makes me not wanna go in to planes and when I’m looking at it I start shaking in fear and thinking of all the people that died
It’s not just the stabilizer. They had no hydraulics. Zero.
Oh my god
Like the dc10 that crash landed in soux city? (don't remember much)
I agree they lost much more than the tail fin and rudder, the horizontal stabilizer seems to also be out, the loss of mass from the tail has thrown off the CG, nose heavy.
@@SkepticCat-pz1zz you sau nose heavy? Is there anything that can be done to counter this in the future? Besides sending bodies to the back of the plane? Can you develop a plane that could drop weight from the front safely, or shift it to the back, or.. anything?
@@kidc2004 Concorde used fuel as a ballast to keep its CG correct and to trim without independent elevators
They were one of the best crews to ever set foot on a plane. What they did to keep that plane flying was impossible. It's just sad that it had such an tragic ending. They should have been awarded with airmanship medals posthumously.
I absolutely agree the crew of JAL 123 are some of the best out there. If you want another incredible story where an equally skilled crew fights an even worse situation and end up saving over half of the people on board, look up United Airlines Flight 232. If you haven’t heard of it yet, thank me later.

The tail strike was not the cause of this crash. The improper repair was the cause. Put blame where it belongs.
@@tazman5722 Would the crash have happened without tailstrike? NO. Would the crash have happened with a propper repair? NO. There is always several reasons for a crash. Swiss cheese model of accident cause...
0:38 That “Sink Rate” really terrifies me. In contrast with other alarms like “Whoop Whoop Pull Up, Too low Terrain etc.” the fact that this alarm isn’t shouting in the pilots’ ears is chilling. It almost sounds like a doom sentence more than an alarm. RIP to all the people onboard, may they have not suffered upon impact.
Most of the time when it starts saying "sink rate", it's just a warning that they're speeding too quickly in their decent. It's not usually this serious. I still think sink rate should be at the level it currently is. Sink Rate doesn't usually mean EMERGENCY, PULL UP WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP! That warning is exactly as terrifying as it sounds for a reason...
It's almost as if the plane itself is taunting them in their last moments
@@theshermantanker7043 These warning systems have saved so many lives. There's proof of this. It's not taunting them at all... I'm very grateful that they were created.
Yeah, but when you've been flying a plane without a tail for 30 minutes you probably don't need a warning system to tell you you are fucked. In this case it pretty much was taunting them.
@@eccomi21 What do you recommend? Should we look into the future and with our incredible powers and remove this feature from every single plane that will crash? I'm not seeing the logic here...

1985 was a crazy year for airline disasters.
June 22nd, Air India 747 is bombed out of the air after leaving Toronto. Then on Aug 3rd, I was flying down to Florida from Toronto and I find out about Delta 191 when I read it on the newspaper in the airport. Then while in Florida, I turn on the news and JAL 123 goes down just before I was to fly back. And as soon as I am back, British Airtours catches fire and burns on takeoff in Manchester. Then in December, Arrow Air crashes in NFLD wiping out 256 people just as I am about to fly to Sudbury.
It was like the wild west back then. But nobody really cared because occasional disasters were the norm.
I heard most of avia disasters were in 17 July
Bro what
drama clown
Nigga stay tf away from airports you're bad luck
don't forget about the aeroflot crash killing all 200 people
These pilots fought against the impossible. They kept it in the air as best they could but it was futile.
I think I read somewhere that JAL put other experienced pilots in a simulation where the plane suffered the same catastrophic failures as JAL123 and all of them fared worse and never kept the jet in the ground longer than half the time the crew of JAL123 did.
They perished as heroes.

DERRITY WHITEBOY dont think he meant it to be funny, and its not really funny lol
32 minutes of hero.
You might be thinking of United Airlines Flight 232
@@TomandAmyinthePI JAL123 remained in the air for quite some time by performing multiple parabolic arcs. Basically the aircraft would dive until it gained so much airspeed it started to climb again. Then it would climb until that airspeed bled off enough to drop the nose into another dive and the process repeats until they ran out of altitude. I'd say the crew did a fantastic job in an impossible situation.
The fact that this plane flew for so long without any flight controls or tail shows just how these pilots fought for every chance to survive and never gave up. And as tragic as this was, the lessons learned from this actually would end up saving many lives several years later when a similar accident happened on United 252.
A pilot named Dennis Fitch heard about this accident and wondered if it was possible to control an airplane using only thrust, so he practiced the scenario on a simulator. Later, he flew on United flight 232 as a passenger, when the DC10 had a catastrophic failure which severed the hydraulics and resulted in a similar loss of control. He volunteered to help the crew, and his experience and knowledge allowed them to regain a very limited amount of control. The plane made a crash landing, and about 3/5 of the people on board survived. Still a tragedy, but a far better outcome than it could have been.
Man these guys gave it their all to the last second, they are true heroes and i admire them truly for their courage, God bless all souls onboard

Different generation but I still look up the sky so my tears won't drop...
Flew a 747 for 30 min with no control surfaces, only being able to increase and decrease power to engines. There were points where they actually stabilized and recovered altitude, again with no control of ailerons, elevators, or rudder and no vertical stabilizer, even managed to overcome hypoxia. Definitely some of the best pilots of all time.
Just imagine a giant flying plane without a tail. They imagined. And kept it in air for 20 minutes. Absolute heroes.
Not to mention that all of the hydraulics were gone, so they only could control the plane with throttle
Ikr right and also correction it was about 32 min not 20
30 minutes! They probably could've continue flying it if they didn't put the flaps down
Not really important but it was a 747 SP .. the smaller ones ..
The crash was caused from the total loss of hydraulic controls, not from the loss from the rudder: it's totaly possible to pilot and land without rudder if not crosswind (some WW2 aircraft return home without rudder), but not without elevator...
This, to me, is the most tragic ending I've ever seen. They never had a chance yet kept the plane flying for what seemed forever. The JDF compounded the tragedy by not accepting help. Many people survived the impact and died on that mountain because of pride and incompetence.
I wish they had just aimed for a highway and landed there.

Really
Just like Charles trying to find an escape pod :((((((((
Their best bet was probably to drop the aircraft in Tokyo bay - probably a higher survivability than flying into a mountain - probably to dangerous to try and bring it into an airport if they missed they could have killed hundreds on the ground but unfortunately it looks like they couldn't get the plane to turn in the opposite direction. On United 232 Dennis Fitch somehow managed to get the aircraft to make a left turn and line them up for the airport.

Sadly due to what I'll characterize as "Japanese pride" the JSDF turned down USAF assistance (which was standing by and had located the crash while it was still daylight) in search and rescue and chose to start operations the next day. So many needlessly suffered and died due to that decision.

How was the usaf going to save them? Typical arrogant Americans trying to take credit for everything
@@tenzaemtade6146 not saying Americans can't be arrogant but in this case, the Japanese miss stepped. The USAF had completed the search phase and left the rescue up to the JSDF which failed to act in a timely manner. Where is the arrogance in that by the USA?
@@sensualeye they don't g.a.f about the passengers, they would have made 467 films about it as if they found a cure to cancer
@@tenzaemtade6146 where are you from?
@@sensualeye Thats right. Maybe i think that if US would help then japan need to do the gaijins a favor in return for saving. Something like that plus the japanese proudness.
The entire 30+ minute CVR is one of the most disturbing bits of audio I've ever heard. One can only imagine what was going through the passengers minds as they all knew for almost half an hour that they were most likely going to die.
And to add insult to injury, some people actually did survive the crash, only to die later because of the delayed response.
The Japanese authorities didn’t want the usaf to be the first on the scene. They traded lives to save face.
they may have traded lives, but they saved no face. In fact they looked pretty incompetent criminally incompetent me thinks
@@dave8599 And how many of them were sentenced to life in prison, or at least lost their jobs without further pay later seppukuing themselves? I expect none did. There´s sweet sugary words and then there´s the reality. Reality is the higher ups care about themselves, and themselves only. They don´t care about puny peasants like you and me.
The captain managed to keep it flaying for 32 minutes before he crashed, and that’s incredible
The fact that they held the aircraft together for half and hour is crazy, R.I.P To the passengers, and props to the pilots. You shall never be forgotten.
That's one steely nerved aircrew. They showed valor and heroism in a nightmarish and unrecoverable situation. Huge respect to them. R.I.P.
"It's the end."
My heart sank when he said that. 😨
Same here
Pilot, are the real hero's even seeing inevitable death in front of them they still fighting with the situation till the last moment doing their best they can without surrendering to the circumstances 😭😭😭😭😭😥
Agreed
You’re always taught as a pilot to fly the aircraft all the way through the crash. This flight crew is the epitome of that.
@sierra_aviator Thanks... I know you pilots get asked the same thing a lot but I think the pilots of MH-370 got 'burned' after the plan crashed. IMO, there was sudden, massive decompression when the younger pilot was in the lavatory. Pilot got his mask on but passengers and crew were instantly incapacitated, dead 60 - 90 seconds later. Pilot stabilized the plane, knew he knew the Chinese would (literally) rip him apart on the tarmac if he landed a plane of dead mostly-Chinese... likely death penalty in Malaysia. So he shut down the electronics , flew the jet to where it would not be found, lowered the flaps as he went nose-first into the ocean at max dive speed. Boeing...no doubt... appreciates it because the plane had known o2 system probs .... anyway, it was not suicide, per se. You just can't land a plane of dead people....can't be done.
I have the utmost admiration and respect for this captain. What a leader this man was...Godspeed
Great, thanks for the video guys. I'm flying JAL in a few weeks from Seattle to Hanoi, Vietnam. So I really appreciate you providing this in advance.
It’s good to hear this. It lets you feel the moment of terror, real terror. Personal life lessons can be learned from listening to these brave pilots. We take so much for granted in our lives. Bless all of them.
Terrifying. Totally gut wrenchingly terrifying. Those poor poor passengers. I cannot even imagine the hell of knowing you're about to die and it gets dragged out for 32 minutes on a rollercoaster ride.
Do you know what's worse? Most of them survived but were badly injured, They could have gotten rescued by the US millitary that was just flying over but the japanese goverment denied any help. Then few hours later there was a japanese helicopter flying by at night but saw nobody and determined that noone survived and waited until morning even tho most of them were still alive. The survivors said that they heard paiful crying for many hours but they slowly faded until it was quiet. Only 4 survived. Very sad
@@ADIRINK - I don't think "most" survived, but I believe more than 4 people did. And you're right. Who knows how many more would have been saved had the Japanese govt allowed the US military to rope into the area.
@@ADIRINK disgusting and gutwrenching to know they killed ppl just cuz they wanted to "keep face"/didnt want the westerners to take the glory for saving the survivors
@@Schimml0rd And in the end, as evidenced by us talking about, they saved absolutely zero face.
The crew effort is just incredible, just sad that the maintenance is not properly done.
These men are heroes. They did all they could to fly their buggered plane and the Japanese government failed all those that miraculously survived the initial crash
God rest these men's souls and give peace to their families. Courageous and fought with everything they had...makes me hope there are more men like that flying planes.
The ' ITS THE END ' is a haunting last words
The fact that you hear the engines stop working on the first impact is eerie.
Just chilling, i cant imagine the terror they felt WHILE still doing their job trying to keep it airborne and knowing all those lives were in their hands. Actually tearful listening to it.
The best aviation crews in the history of aviation. And Rest In Peace to all the victims of JAL flight 123.
That's 747 is the true hero it managed to stay in the sky long past the point when it could barely fly and Kudos also to the repair people who kept that thing in the air for many years after the bad tail strike
The saddest part is some people actually survived but due to delayed evacuation (about 10 hours despite the site is in mainland) only 4 people make it out alive. They said the freezing night was filled with the sound of people writhing in pain.
May their souls rest in peace.
Amen. 🙏
@@haitolawrence5986 Amen? They were splattered all over the place...
@@RSTI191 what's your point?
@@RSTI191 I will never invite you to a party.
@@naturalpro2003 Your loss...
They did their absolute best with what they had...Heroic!
No matter how many times I listen to the JAL 123 CVR, the "Whoop whoop, pull up" always sends shivers down my spine
This is utterly terrifying when you learn about the story behind this.
The way the Captain says “It’s the end!”, knowing the plane is going to crash, is heartbreaking.
The way they managed to fly it for such a long time displays some incredible level of inteligence
hearing the captain say "ITS THE END!" at 0:45 is truly horrifying. knowing he will not make it along with many other people is just TERRIFYING. my respect goes to this man. RIP to all who died on JAL 123.
Thanks for recommending this to me 3 weeks before my flight to japan really promising.
Two great pilots! Never gave up. RIP.
For a plane of its size, using only engine power (the older ones took a solid 10 seconds to spool up), it's impressive they stayed airborne for as long as they did. Maximum honor.
The pilots on this plane deserve to see another day. It's incredible how these pilots fought the plane for 30+ minutes with the tail wing missing, while in the middle of mountainous terrain. It's also so sad how there were 2 impacts, with both impacts probably in the front of the plane. Another horror about this is that Japanese authorities came the next day, because they thought no one could have survived this horrific crash. Imagine surviving a plane crash into a mountain, and then lay there slowly dying a horrific death with 25+ people, in the middle of a burning wreckage. Another horror is how the CVR recording captured the captain saying "It's the end!". Watched this so many times, always heartbreaking.
if i were the family i would file a civil lawsuit.
The man became one of the greatest pilots in the world for 30 minutes straight
That really hit me hard, OML those were literally their last words man... wow that hit me in a soft spot. Those were their final moments
much love and respect.... may all onboard that died Rest In Peace. I have no words, that was chilling to hear!
What a terrifying way to go -- in an airplane crash. My prayers for every soul who has had to face this since the beginning of aviation. This is one I will never forget. It happened in my lifetime, and it makes you think every time you take off.
I cant click like on this video the Black box recorder is one of the greatest inventions for aircrafts to learn about what goes wrong but at the same time its the most saddest thing to hear the desperation in their voices knowing there going to die
Listening to these recordings you really wonder what’s going through their minds. Strapped in an airliner seeing the ground come closer and faster the alarms going off while you just hopelessly stare and watch
who needs a horror movie?
I wish that theyd made it. They deserved to live.
Agree
The will of the pilots to save the plane is incredible and heroic. Trying to land a plane that is uncapable of flying.
I salute the tenacity of these brave souls aboard this plane.
May they rest in peace and may their loved ones remember them.🙏🏼
Kyu Sakamoto RIP
"Sukiyaki". RIP
@@jaisabai4155 heck this dude... That is a food
@@altrel06 That's also the localized nickname of one of Sakamoto's songs
@@skywardstargaze1768 a PILOT Sakamoto not a SINGER 🙄
Incredible feat of flying. Kept it in the air for so long and with no chance of saving it, they still tried till the end.
This pilot was damn fking good. He saved people from an impossible Situation
The worst part of this accident is that it was carrying 524 passengers and only about 4 survived. That's a small city, being lifted into the air, and a big responsibility for a pilot.
Yep
even worser part of this accident is that more than 60 people were alive when the plane crashed but rescue efforts were put off until the next morning
that's not even a town
@@03056932 you need to get out more if you've never driven through a town with a population of 500.
Those pilots were heroes. I bow before them.
