Plane Loses Its Tail Mid-Air: The Japan Airlines Flight 123 Disaster Documentary The sun was beginning to set over Tokyo as passengers boarded Japan Airlines Flight 123. It was supposed to be a routine 54-minute flight to Osaka. But just twelve minutes after takeoff, everything changed. A sudden, violent explosion rocked the aircraft. In an instant, control was lost. The plane began to veer wildly through the air, climbing and diving in chaotic waves. For the next 32 minutes, the crew fought against impossible odds, attempting to steer a crippled aircraft with no hydraulics—essentially flying blind. What followed was the deadliest single-aircraft crash in aviation history—one rooted in a critical mistake made years earlier.
