- On 12 August 1985, the aft pressure bulkhead bursts on a Boeing 747SR operating as Japan Airlines Flight 123, destroying the vertical stabilizer and severing all four of the aircraft's hydraulic systems. The crew keeps the aircraft flying for 32 minutes until it clips Mount Takamagahara and crashes, killing all but four of the 524 people on board. The accident was caused by a faulty repair to the bulkhead after a much-earlier tailstrike incident.

Keeping a 747 airborn for 32 minutes with no control of the elevators, these pilots and crew members deserved that award!
Not one person in a simulator could come close to how they handled the stricken jet.
What an occupation. The consequences could be dire. I can't believe it's so commonplace to fly thru the air to a far away destination in mere hours so safely yet everyone on board could be killed after a terrifying roller coaster ride in the sky that would probably give someone a heart attack. Yike.
@@pantherplatform try fly a 747 without any controls
They had about 11,353 hours flying 747s among the 3 of them and about 26,217 hours of total flight time among the 3 of them, of which the pilot by himself had over 12,000 hours. No doubt their extensive experience was why they were able to even last for as long as they did. Seems like extending the flaps was the final nail that made them lose total control of the plane so badly that they were never able to regain it.
1987 The flight crew was posthumously awarded the Polaris Award for their efforts. It is the highest award in Civil Aviation
So what, it mattersadamn, they are still dead and never knew about the award.
lets all take a moment to curse and observe the absolute idiocy and incompetence of the people who assumed there wouldn't be any survivors and the downright stupidity of the ones who treated the investigators as suspects and criminals
They would have had legit concerns that the Boeing representatives would attempt a coverup and tamper with evidence. The investigators could be in Boeing's pocket as well. There's a lot of money to be lost when a plane crash is the manufacturer's fault. It would be like if a woman was murdered and the detectives let the husband cross the tape and mess around at the scene. He might have done it, you can't let him in there.
And for the idiots who refused to allow the American Military to help save many lives, and who were right there. They had actually found the crash site quickly and in helos they rappelled down and heard many people screaming and crying. Just as they were calling for more help, they got orders that Japan refused the American’s help. They sent ONE helo to look for the crash site. They didn’t find it until it was dark and did a fly by and claimed there were no survivors!!!! Then they flew a good distance away and made camp until morning. That’s when they found so few survivors who told them that many people were alive during the night, who screamed and cried for help, but eventually they went silent and died.
This was handled horribly.
@Sharan yup! And we only retaliated against Japan because they attacked us at Pearl Harbor.on December 7, 1941.
@@MakerInMotion Boeing protects their biggest customers.
@@miriamsamaniego3335 Yeah because U.S. froze Japanese assets in the United States and declared an embargo on petroleum shipments. U.S. oil accounted for eighty percent of Japan's oil imports at the time. By late 1941, the United States had severed practically all commercial and financial relations with Japan. U.S. tactic to stop expansion of Japan in China.
Also Japan never killed as much US civilians as US did to Japan civilians. Throwing atomic bomb on city is small dick move without any honour :). Affraid of death toll of US forces on Japan mainland caused president to go for speed end and bring new superweapon so his soldiers dont need to fight face to face enemy.
imagine being that guy who didn't put on the second set of rivets and then a decade later you get a phone call
that was boeings job. JAL paid boeing big bucks to do the job right
I always think of the person who used masking tape on aero Peru 603 & forgot to remove it.
I mean, I know it sounds pretty, but I hope he feels guilty for not being more careful.
@@dknowles60 right. But it sounds like it was ultimately the fault of a single person (or rather likely him and his direct supervisor). Not an excuse, though!
They flew magnificently and never gave up until the very end. Requiescant in pace
4 years later, UA 232 faced a similar loss of hydraulic power.
The pilots were able to crash land in Sioux City IA airport
112 died, but 184 lived
From Wikipedia:
Dennis Edward (Denny) Fitch, 46, a training-check airman aboard Flight 232 as a passenger, was hired by United Airlines in 1968.
Fitch had learned of the 1985 crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123, caused by a catastrophic loss of hydraulic control, and had wondered if it was possible to control an aircraft using throttles only. He had practiced under similar conditions on a simulator.
I think after Sioux as well influnence by JAL 123 tragedy, the was a research for propulsion-controlled where autopilot will use the aircraft engine power for surface control in the even of total hydraulic lost. It was tested on the MD-11 prototype but was never implemented due to less probabilty of JAL123 and UA232 situation will occured again on new generation airliner.
Didnt they implement it after the 2003 DHL iran flight that was shot by a missile, lost all hydraulics, and made it back to base with just throttling engines?

Agreed. This is the WORST example of politics interfering with critical operations when it shouldn't. That is an awful price to pay for any country with politics.
@@tm13tube Maybe. But at least he did the right thing and those passengers would rescue him from that hole.
@@tm13tube That's not how it works in Japan. There's plenty of societal problems here without inventing things lol. Regulations and incompetence are both reinforced through a culture of conformity and unwillingness to go against the hierarchy. You don't /need/ authoritarian punishments when going against "the flow" is socially discouraged, and conformity has been socially rewarded for ages in this culture. On the good side, you get a culture where people respect the rules, produce high-quality products, take care of their surroundings, are calm and collected during natural disasters... on the bad side, you get.... well, things like this :/ But he wouldn't get buried in a dark wet hole for going against the culture, because official punishments haven't /needed/ to exist for such things. What /would/ happen, however, is his superiors would be unlikely to ever give him a promotion for "humiliating" them, even as the wider society treated him as a hero, and it might become difficult in terms of social dynamics to continue working at that particular station :/
The Japanese rescuers and police are liable for leaving those survivors on the mountain all night to die, but loved ones made their way up there, even walking, to leave memorials.
My question is why did the Marines leave them? I thought they save everyone.
@@2stroke4ever1987, at first the Japanese wouldn't let anyone go up.
@@patriciamariemitchel Let me ask you something, simpleton. What is the sense of letting people go in the dark and potentially get lost even hurt adding to the causalities? And waiting until daybreak? Furthermore if you bothered to check - even wikipedia - you will find that the Japanese did not start because the helicopter pilot who found the crash site reported no survivors.
@2stroke4ever1987 not their country..different rules
@@bobfrantz534, okay, not legally in Japan, but morally, I would still say, all things considered.😳
Kyu Sakamoto, who had a hit single in the United States, Sukiyaki, was onboard that flight. I sometimes like to listen to that song and remember the people who died in that accident.
I remember that song!
I just listened to it and found it hauntingly beautiful.
Rip Kyu Sakamoto
the japanese lyrics to that song are beautiful. it’s actually called ue o muite arukō (“i look up as i walk” in english). here’s a translation i found online (i like a lot of japanese music, old and new, but i don’t speak it.)
“I look up when I walk
So the tears won't fall
Remembering those happy spring days
But tonight I'm all alone
I look up when I walk
Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Remembering those happy summer days
But tonight I'm all alone
Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies above the sky
I look up when I walk
So the tears won't fall
Though my heart is filled with sorrow
For tonight I'm all alone
Remembering those happy autumn days
But tonight I'm all alone
Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
I look up when I walk
So the tears won't fall
Though my heart is filled with sorrow
For tonight I'm all alone”
Kyu is the only person I will listen to when it comes to Sukiyaki. After all he is the one who originally sang it. The words are eerily prophetic of the way he died. Coincidence maybe but still he is now beyond the clouds.
He will always be my favorite Japanese singer. Sayonara Sayonara is beautiful too. Another strange wording in song that Kyu sang. Well I will always miss him. I know one thing he taught me…….and that is to smile. His smile was so contagious and I know he would want us all who loved him to keep his smile on our faces.
The flight was a doomed flight 12 minutes in and the horror of struggling for 30 minutes my Lord.
Rip to all that passed.
I won’t say sayonara to Kyu but I will say Ue o muite arukou🌹
I have watched many videos on this crash. It still breaks my heart every time thinking about the horror and fear everyone on board must of felt! Also how long the rescue took after the American plane found the wreckage right away but were turned away. I hope the dead continue to Rest In Peace and the survivors have found some peace and happiness in their lives and the families of the lost as well!😢
JAL did survive and finally overcome this most horrific and tragic accident in history.... Now they fly Boeing 787 Dreamliners, and I see them occasionally at a gate at Sea-Tac Airport or on approach to land. (They still have the same design of the red bird on the tail!)
most have been a truly horrific experience... yet shocking that a crash of this magnitude had survivers, truly a miracle.
Absolutely spellbinding. It amazes me how investigators/experts go about searching, and eventually discover the causes of these airline disasters.
I love this series...........so we'll made and keeps me riveted the entire way through.

12,319th takeoff since the repair of the damaged bulkhead. It was estimated to only withstand 10,000 flights after the shoddy repair
RIP to all of the 520 people who died in this horrific accident
How on earth it is possible after an accident it has been allowed to first responders to wait 14 hours hands crossed doing nothing..
Love the blue airline cockpit windows in the simulator while filming
Is a miracle that this people survive 💜l cry, is soo sad they need help and waiting and waiting for help and never get help, sometimes going on,always check if they are death or l live, all my love and my respect for this beautiful victim 💜🇺🇸🇨🇱
thanks for uploading!
The cause was an improper repair procedure to the aft pressure bulkhead. 7 years prior to the crash of Flight 123, this same aircraft was involved in a tailstrike incident at Ōsaka International Airport. This damaged the aft pressure bulkhead. The proper procedure was to use one continuous splice plate with 3 rows of rivets, as called for by Boeing. The Boeing technicians instead used two splice plates in parallel to the stress crack. Unfortunately, this compromised the effectiveness of one of the rows of rivets, reducing the part’s resistance to fatigue cracking. After repeated pressurization cycles, the bulkhead gradually cracked near of the rows of rivets holding it together. Ultimately, this led to failure which in turn led to explosive decompression, which took out the hydraulic system and ejection of the vertical stabilizer, which caused the crash. Of the 524, only 4 survived. Very tragic.
The conclusion of the documentary is that faulty repair was the cause. I think though that there was also a shortcoming in the design. Of course I'm not an aerospace engineer, but cabin pressure blows the rudder off? And this empties the plane of hydraulic fluid? I bet the plane would have been landable if the ailerons were still functioning.
@@thomasbagley7142 my thoughts as well
the single deadliest aircraft accident ever
Expect the worst, but hope for the best! People have survived the unsurvivable before!
nice series!
I feel bad for those who survived because they said that more people had survived the crash but later died on the mountain ⛰ and if the rescuers had gotten to the crash site much early more could have survived ✈️💥
US Marine rescuers did get there...they were ordered to abort...whoever gave that order should be charged with murder....also whoever made the decision for the Japanese rescue unit to camp overnight while people lay dying should also be charged...such a sad and senceless loss of life...
@@dsbh100158US was not allowed to help by Japan gov
In fact, Self-Defense Force rescue helicopters that had taken over the mission from the U.S. military were over the scene, struggling to land on the scene in a variety of ways.
The unit that arrived on the scene was the Air Self-Defense Force's Pararescue Jumper, the most elite rescue unit in Japan.
However, visibility at the site was very poor due to the pitch-dark night and smoke from the fire.
They made numerous attempts to escape from the ground.
They considered rappelling and parachuting, but the captain decided that the fire and poor visibility would cause a secondary disaster, and these methods were not implemented.
Little known in the English-speaking world, the rescue team was not asleep either.
As a Japanese, I can tell you that the SDF did nothing.
And from the ground, firefighters and police were desperately trying to reach the scene.
The Americans spread the lie that the Japanese authorities did nothing all night long in order to trivialize the fact that their own repair errors caused the deaths of 520 people.
It is truly an abomination.
I hope the pilots got some kind recognition posthumously. Even if just being able to get the plane to an uninhabited crash site.
This is my favorite one to play really loud on United flights.
The "rescue" was a total disgrace.
Why does politics have to be in EVERYTHING?
They should of checked the crash sooner, 14 hours??!! For as close as they were, they should of went out there right away, I'm betting a lot more people would have been found alive..And the ego of that captain didn't help at all..
Four survivors and 520 died in crash
@@ShikataGaNai100 I think so
Horrifying. But it's still refreshing to hear that ANYONE survived. So often, no one does.
I find it hard to swallow, that the Marines were not allowed to repel into the scene of the crash and instead order to leave it. I haven't even finished episode but I'm guessing some people survived. I'm guessing a few more probably would have survived if the Marines were able to assist instead of being ordered away... It's disgusting to think that political stances would stand in the way of saving lives at the very basic human level
You have a choice. If you disobey, and successfully rescue survivors - the government would shut it's mouth, and pretend to be grateful, and pretend they asked for help. If you disobey and everyone's dead anyway, you're likely fired, the country's government complains.
It's a gamble. What can _you_ live with? Take heart. If you save lives - you likely won't face any real negative repercussions. But there's a risk.
Guess what? There's always a risk to being a hero. That's why it's called _heroism._
Firefighters risk dying horribly every work day of their lives. Super-wussy to be so scared of "possible career repercussions" - that you let victims, who's only hope is YOU, die alone. You don't ever _have_ to obey orders - you have a choice. Make the right one.
@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking That is a good point. Being a hero isn't easy and there will be consequences no matter what to do. You just gotta go with your gut and hope for the best.

That's quite the set they got for staging the plane wreck
the loss of hydraulics cause the aircraft to have no means of surface controls- this happened on two other flights and the aircrew of those flights used the engines of the aircraft to steer the plane back to an airport and land. check out flight 191 and the DHL Baghdad flight of 2003- amazing stories on how the pilots managed to land after the loss of hydraulics.
Yeah but they lost more than hydrolics here - losing most of the tail by itself is a death sentence for a plane as large as a 747.
@@deprofundis3293 true, but you do loose your tail control if you loose all hydraulics. Provided that you have two working engines, you can steer the ship using pure thrust.

Substandard repairs of structural damage to a 747 qualifies as an innocent mistake?
no it dont. JAL paid boeing big dollars to do the JOB RIGHT
Agreed, it's criminal negligence.
But so is the fact that they didn't get to the scene to rescue people for 18 hours...and when those poor people were at high elevation, nonetheless.
Tragic.
They really have to work on their titling because there's alot of episodes with the same title.
The title should have the year, decade, even country and here's a example America's Worst Aviation Disaster in 1950.
Anyone else agree with the idea of having better titles?
Yes!!! The titles are incredibly unhelpful. I agree - flight number and year in the very least! It gets so hard to keep track, especially since multiple channels have the Mayday episodes.
I agree with others that: (1) the delayed rescue is abhorrent and unforgivable because many more lives could have been saved. Pride comes before the fall. And (2) I am bothered that nothing was done about the negligent repairs. I guess maybe too much time had passed...but still. Hundreds of lives lost because someone didn't pay attention to the ONE thing that was their job, in an industry where you know that thousands of people's lives depend on it?
According to one account I read, the engineer who oversaw the repair committed suicide after learning that the shoddy repair caused the accident.
MAN!
There were so many ways this could have been avoided!
Just do your job right!
Unbelievable that the pilots did not immediately put on oxygen masks.
Trapped in a steel tube with no control. Horrible fate.
This captain was subpar, imo. Why didn’t he want to tell ATC about the lack of hydraulics?
Yeah, that was weird.
@@deprofundis3293 um cauz the pilots didnt know they were lacking oxygen cauz they didnt know that there tail wing broke so they did not put oxygen mask in time whicb led to them having lost some of the ability to think properly
I think they should have checked for survivors at night anyway with floodlights, they could have saved more.

These guys weren't exactly Captain Alfred Haynes and Captain Denny Finch from United 232.
I know which one that was, and you could say that maybe the Japanese flight crew could've done the same thing, but likelihood of that working here is lower because of missing parts of the tail
Fron what I read, Capt. Finch benefited from this accident by practicing in simulation a lot with the same crippled scenario. So silver lining is without the horrific experience of these brave pilots, Capt. Finch probably wouldn't have the successful landing he had.

In the aftermath of this crash, 2 people who worked for this airline committed suicide to “atone” for this tragedy…
“In the aftermath of the incident, Hiroo Tominaga, a JAL maintenance manager, died from suicide intended to atone for the incident, as did Susumu Tajima, an engineer who had inspected and cleared the aircraft as flightworthy, due to difficulties at work.”
It’s all too sad.

As horrible as this accident was, I can't help but laugh at the narration at 39:13. All of that pomp and circumstance for what's essentially an exposure adjustment to find out that the tail fell off.
Could the computer program developed by NASA to control an airplane that has lost the ability to use the control surfaces have landed this plane? PS this software has never been implimented.
Idk why but I thought it was a tail strike that cause this carsh

TWENTY ONE PILOTS
Something exploded... Airplane maybe? Idk. Just guessing...
I wouldn't want to be the people who messed up that repair, knowing so many people died because they patched the plane up half arsed. That was a miracle that anyone lived, considering they were left out in the jungle all night. God decided it wasn't time for the few people who lived to die in a crash. I know how it feels to be in an accident, and to be laying on the floor dying, with my organs shutting down. I prayed to be forgiven of my sins. I was saved by a miracle, and remember when i was found, and the ems guy on the radio saying i don't think this one is gonna make it. I am here, and thank God for giving me a chance to be a better person. God bless y'all.
But why did the pilot not tell what kind of emergency when the controller wanted to know ? He even answered commands from the controller like „can u descent?“ with „roger“ even they could see on the screen that then he did not descent and that accused several times 😮 he did not want to make a fuss because he is embarrassed !?!?!? That is really a bit silly even if the ground couldn‘t help obviously in that situation … many say the captain is such an hero but to be honest to me it seemed like he made really many false decisions … he did not tell the control which emergency status the airplane had, he did not try to make an emergency descent - if he almost put his mask on and I believe if they had so bad hypoxia that he couldn’t even take his mask on then he wouldn’t also been able to experiment with the speed and figure out that he gain a bit of control back which is wayyyyy more difficult to do than a mask … what means when he was so aware of his surroundings that he was able to try to fly the plain in such an experimental way which is not easy then before he did simply not response to the copilots and the engineer‘s request to do an emergency descent so that the passengers wouldn‘t get all unconscious or even die o😢 … even I think it wouldn‘t have changed anything because without control of that plane u can‘t stop anything from happening

I still don't get why they did not wear their masks. If they communicate properly with ATC surely they should have been able to function enough to decide to wear oxygen masks. I have never been more infuriated by the Japanese authorities' callous treatment of this accident. Every rescuer always assumes there are survivors. Evil bastards.
I saw two points here:
1. Pilot didn't done oxygen mask despite being inform there was a pressure lost.
2. Insist on return to Haneda
indicated they already lead the flight to its demised.
The reason was hypoxia due to rapid depressurization. In addition, 4 top pilots were put in a simulator confronted with the exact same situation. Not only could they only keep it up for only 10-12 minutes (compared to the actual pilots keeping the plane in the air for 30 minutes) but not one of them could land it.
The flight was doomed either way, with no way to land. I think there's been 3 or 4 crashes where they had no hydrologic control with the only one being the mail dhl airline in iraq?, to which almost crashed when they got the landing gear out , and that one went off the runway
Passenger oxygen masks
Pilots. None
They had them. They just didn't use them...
When planes crash people die and luggage never reaches its destination.
This is not what actually happened. The JSDF were training flying a drone and lost control. It went in the path of flight 123 and struck the rear end of the craft taking out its APU. US military base, Yokota AB was much closer than Nagoya airport. The control tower on Yokota AB realized flight 123 situation and gave permission to flight 123 to land on the base. However the Japanese government stepped in and refused the offer and told the captain of flight 123 to keep flying and move forward. Even when the 747 crashed into the mountain, Yokota AB knew the exact spot where the 747 crashed and again offered assistance but were turned away. Farmers near the crash site noticed on the news that nobody had made to the site so took matters in their own hands and a group of farmers went. When they reached the area, they were surprised to a lot of people were already there and what they noticed bizarre was the smell of a fire accelerant and they saw the Japanese military using flame throwers to burn up the area. The farmers were immediately told to leave the area and out of fear, they left. This came to light a few years ago after the stewardess, one of the 3 survivors decided she could not keep what actually happened to herself. Even at this time, the hatred towards Americans came out. This 747 had a tail strike in the past in which the bulkhead area was severely damaged and had to have Boeing engineers come out to repair the aircraft from the US. Eventually, the Japanese put the blame on Boeing and sued the hell out of them……. They came out and said Americans were unreliable. Anyways do a search on RUclips in Japanese using google to translate. The true story will come up unless it’s been erased by the government. Boing had nothing to do with this nor did they use incompetent people for repairs. Just relaying the story after reading ( yes there is a book out on this) and watching the other video of flight 123 in Japanese on RUclips.
So by summary, it's a cover-up to try to frame us Americans for being stupid? This is what we call "The Politics of the Modern day", ladies and gentlemen!
Good 4 nothing pains. GOD bless the dead
This is terrorism. These planes are crashing and blowing up too much. There is fowl play in all crashes.
More spoilers. Why on earth people have to have big mouths, is beyond me. I manage to comment without giving anything away. Let others find out for themselves!
Hard to call it spoilers when the plane crashed in 1985 and this episode aired in 2005.
@@andrewthomson It certainly is for everyone who doesn't know about it, and I guarantee many don't, regardless of when it happened; where and when it was broadcasted. Also at that time, social media wasn't what it is now.
@@donnabaardsen5372 lol shut up boomer. Comments are for discussion on the video. Don't like it? Don't read the comments.
@@andrewthomson I was addressing ALL ages, something that not surprisingly, went way over your head. Wow, you've made it publicly obvious you are the outcome of poor parenting. Regardless of YOUR age, something was left out of the picture: manners and mature communication skills. Ok, so let me go down to a level you understand: put on your big boy panties, woke baby 🍼.
@@donnabaardsen5372 sir I don’t see the reason to be aggressive here, I understand your point on spoilers but it is a bit immature to be writing a spiteful comment on spoilers and retaliate against someone with childish insults at the end. I see your point but at the same time I don’t see how it matters when this came out years ago. I think if you don’t want spoilers people would watch the video first before reading the comments, as I believe many people in the comments have already watched the video and simply want to discuss it themselves.
I highly doubt everyone involved in this was speaking English the whole time… especially in JAPAN, but sure…
It's obvious that they're translating it to English because this is a North American show. Smh. No one is pretending that isn't the case. Is that REALLY what you're upset about after hearing about the horrors of this tragedy??
@@deprofundis3293 I like realistic filmmaking, so yes. Yes, it is
