Airplane Out of Control (Japan Airlines Flight 123)

Airplane Out of Control (Japan Airlines Flight 123) On August 12th, 1985, Japan Airlines Flight 123 — a Boeing 747 carrying 524 people — took off from Tokyo bound for Osaka. It was supposed to be a short, routine flight. Instead, within minutes, the aircraft suffered a catastrophic structural failure that left it almost completely uncontrollable. This is the story of human courage, mechanical failure, and a nation changed forever. It’s a moment that redefined Japan’s relationship with aviation — and forced the entire world to rethink how airplanes are repaired, inspected, and flown. In this episode of Disaster Digest, we revisit the haunting final flight of Japan Airlines 123, analyze the engineering flaws that led to its tragedy, and explore the extraordinary efforts of the crew who refused to give up until the very end. #aviation #control #disaster #japan #japanairlines #forever #aviationaccident #planecrash #flight #landing #documentary
