Japan Airlines Flight 123 Accident (12 Aug 1985) - Cockpit Voice Recorder [English Subbed]

Japan Airlines Flight 123 was a Japan Airlines domestic flight from Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) to Osaka International Airport (Itami). The Boeing 747-SR46 that made this route, registered JA8119, suffered mechanical failures 12 minutes into flight and 32 minutes later crashed into two ridges of Mount Takamagahara in Ueno, Gunma Prefecture, 100 kilometers from Tokyo, on Monday 12 August 1985. The crash site was on Osutaka Ridge (おすたかのおね, Osutaka-no-One), near Mount Osutaka. All 15 crew members and 505 out of 509 passengers died, resulting in a total of 520 deaths and 4 survivors. It remains the deadliest single-aircraft accident in history. The official cause of the crash according to the report published by Japan's then Aircraft Accidents Investigation Commission is as follows:
1. The aircraft was involved in a tailstrike incident at Osaka International Airport on 2 June 1978, which damaged the aircraft's rear pressure bulkhead.
2. The subsequent repair of the bulkhead did not conform to Boeing's approved repair methods. Their procedure calls for one continuous doubler plate with three rows of rivets to reinforce the damaged bulkhead, but the Boeing technicians fixing the aircraft used two separate doubler plates, one with two rows of rivets and one with only one row. This reduced the part's resistance to metal fatigue by 70%. According to the FAA, the one "doubler plate" which was specified for the job (the FAA calls it a "splice plate" - essentially a patch) was cut into two pieces parallel to the stress crack it was intended to reinforce, "to make it fit". This negated the effectiveness of two of the rows of rivets. During the investigation Boeing calculated that this incorrect installation would fail after approximately 10,000 pressurizations; the aircraft accomplished 12,319 take-offs between the installation of the new plate and the final accident.
3. When the bulkhead gave way, the resulting explosive decompression ruptured the lines of all four hydraulic systems. With the aircraft's control surfaces disabled, the aircraft became uncontrollable.
This is the CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) recorded while the accident was happening.
日本航空123便墜落事故(にほんこうくう123びんついらくじこ)は、1985年8月12日午後6時56分、日本航空(当時)123便、東京(羽田)発大阪(伊丹)行、ボーイング747SR-46(「ジャンボジェット」、機体記号JA8119)が群馬県多野郡上野村の高天原山に墜落した事故である。事故調査は、「同機がしりもち着陸事故を起こした後のボーイング社の修理が不適切だったことによる圧力隔壁の破損が原因」とする航空事故調査報告書が1987年6月19日に公表され終了している。運輸省航空事故調査委員会による事故調査報告書によると、死亡者数は乗員乗客524名のうち520名、生存者は4名であった。死者数は日本国内で発生した航空機事故では最多であり、単独機の航空事故では世界最多である。航空事故調査委員会が結論付けた事故原因の要点は以下の通りである。
1. 1978年6月2日に伊丹空港で同機がしりもち事故を起こした。
2. その後のボーイング社による修理が不適切であったため、
飛行の度に客室へ与圧を繰り返す内に圧力隔壁に金属疲労が蓄積した。
3. 金属疲労が限界を超えたため、飛行中に圧力隔壁の破壊が発生した。
4. 圧力隔壁から漏れ出した空気が後部の空洞を伝って垂直尾翼を破壊し、
航空機後部の4系統ある油圧操縦システムの全てが失われて操縦不能に陥った。
5. 油圧の無い状況でフラップを出しすぎたため、急激なダイブに陥り墜落した。

    Actually I think the final word of the captain is "もうだめ”. It literally means "there is no way to go", more like "we can not do anything now" or "we can not help it anymore". Anyway the captain and his crew are all real men. They fought till the end. Honorable.

    The pilots were true heroes. After this accident, investigators put 4 different flight crews through the same situation in a flight simulators. All 4 crews crashed the plane and none of them even managed to keep it in the air as long as the JAL 123 crew did. That's pretty amazing when you consider the simulator crews had two huge advantages: They knew what the problem was and they had peace of mind of knowing it wasn't going to kill them.

But, the accident happend before sunsat, so they should have go and search right after it happened. Also, the Japanese military didn't think there wasn't a survivor, they only want to find CVR and FDR to find why it was happened. It is huge immoral for people who was survived right after the crash to think so! They could alive and keep going their life. The think was same with cutting off their possibilities.

    slave trader Uh dude? Trying to fly a plane that has lost absolutely all forms of conventional control is beyond difficult. Especially at the time, making a safe landing was pretty much impossible, especially since at the time, it was assumed that the loss of all hydraulics was so impossible, that nobody trained for it. Keeping a severely crippled 747 with only different amounts of engine thrust for over half an hour isn’t easy at all, even in a simulator, especially since engines take time to respond (and a large passenger jet like a Boeing 747 takes time still to move) and is compounded by how engines don’t respond in a linear fashion (some will spool up a little faster than others). The crew never had a thought of “The plane’s out of control, might as well just die”, more like “We’ll probably die anyways, but let’s try our damndest to make a life threatening situation less so”. The crew of United Airlines 232 had the same situation (loss of all forms of conventional control) and while they did manage to bring their crippled DC-10 to the ground, it was a crash landing. Over 60% survived, however. It also helped that one of the crew that helped (Dennis Fitch, who was a DC-10 instructor pilot) had known about JAL 123 (UA232 happened afterwards) and had some knowledge about what might happen in such a situation. Another factor was that unlike Japan’s mountainous terrain, Iowa was mostly flat, which meant more altitude just in case something goes wrong. UA232 also had the benefit of having their vertical stabilizer still intact. JAL’s stabilizer was torn off when the bulkhead failed. In both cases however, the crew tried their absolute hardest to make a totally fatal situation at least much less so. And in both cases, the cause was maintenance error (faulty repair on JAL123, inadequate fan disk inspection procedures on UA232 plus manufacturing defect)

This became slightly memetic in Japan for its badass understatedness when they released the CVR along with some of his other sayings like はいじゃないが "don't just say 'yes!'" and どーんといこうや "just give it a try like BOOM!" So the Captain became admired not just for his heroism but for his likable personality, which I think is touching.

The captain even refused to try to land at Nagoya, with it's airport located amidst densely populated areas. He knew exactly what was going to happen. My highest respect to those brave men! Since this tragic accident many things have been improved to make flying safer. Today's hydraulics and control back-up systems of the 747-8 are much different and safer than those systems back then. And for the worst case, rescue efforts have also been improved. R.I.P.

    Haneda airport is surrounded by even more density than Nagoya - unless they took the approach from the south, but even so that is more dangerous and they were approaching from the north anyway. I don't think he refused Nagoya because of its location in a highly dense area - maybe he was already set on going back to Haneda and changing airports would add more to the confusion and stress he was feeling.

    There have been a lot of plane crashes in history, but this one has always been one that has particularly stood out to me. I couldn't even imagine how difficult it must have been to keep the plane airborne as long as they did, the odds were stacked against them and they tried their absolute hardest. Their realization and acceptance of the situation at hand and their soon to be deaths is a truly horrible thing to have to listen to, I really hope that they at least knew in their last minutes that they did everything in their power to save the plane and they didn't have too much guilt and fear.

    MissWooHoo11 - BSL for American Pit Bull Terriers! You're misinformed, once JAL 123 was in its final minutes, an American C-130 stationed at 345 TAS was sent out. After the crash, the Americans found the wreckage 20 minutes later, and UH-1H helicopters were sent out to assist. The problem was that at the time, the area of the crash and the very poor visibility and weather made it near impossible to land at the crash site.

According to Yumi Ochai, one of 4 survivors, there were more than 4 survivors, she could hear them crying, but due to the injuries and the cold night a lot of people couldnt make it but only 4 people.

    It was hopeless, the entire hydraulic system was severed in the explosion, even if they had managed to reach the airport, landing would’ve resulted in the same outcome, crashing. Not to mention it would’ve been seriously dangerous to any traffic entering the airport or even in the airspace around the airport. So it would’ve made an already horrible tragedy far worse. The pilots were in a dire situation, I have every respect for what they did, they saved four lives and gave passengers time to say goodbye in notes. It’s such a chilling scenario.

    Even if they did reach Haneda there’s no way to land that plane without crashing it hard. There were no controls on the airplane, the only reason it stayed that long in the air is because the pilot somehow figured a way to use the engines thrust to keep it in the air. The plane was going up and down uncontrollably until it crashed.

I can't really imagine how the passengers on board must have felt. In those 32 minutes, they had enough time to say goodbye to their loved ones.

    There probably would've been a lot more than 4 survivors if the JSDF didn't drag their heels after the crash. There was a United States Air Force C-130 in the air the same time as Japan Airlines Flight 123 and they were monitoring the situation. About 20 minutes after the crash, they flew over the crash scene and radioed the coordinates to the JSDF for rescue operations (being a C-130 and it being on a very dangerous mountain, that's about all they could do). Then the JSDF sent an UH-1 Huey over the crash site. The crew said they didn't see any survivors, despite not even landing or repelling down to check. ...So what did the JSDF do? They waited over 10 hours for the sun to rise the next day. One of the survivors, a flight attendant for Japan Airlines that was catching a ride as a passenger, said she woke up after the crash to lights and the sound of a helicopter which promptly left. And as night went on she heard the screams and cries of passengers slowly drop off. It was freezing and many of them were injured, but with injuries that COULD have been survivable... If they were left on a freezing mountainside for half a day. To think these pilots and crew fought that hard to try and save the aircraft and the JSDF couldn't even be bothered to go out in the cold and night to save people that were dying...

    JAL 123 and GOL 1907 are two of the most haunting audio recordings I’ve listened to and the bravery and skill of their crews is astonishing. Both crews attempted to keep the aircraft in the air for as long as they could even with the deck stacked against them. I’d like to also add UAL 232 to this comment for their bravery, despite losing an engine and all of their hydraulic systems, they still managed to save over half of the nearly 300 people on-board.

    At first, the captain Takahama was falsely accused by public because the media emphasized his words,“ドーンと行こうや!” or “Just give it a try like BANG!” At that time, JP police had the only a few part of the CVR voices public, so people misunderstood him. But, several years later, one investigator who thought this wasn't fair revealed all the CVR voices and resigned his job. So, now no one blames the captain. We know his struggle to save the lives. His body didn't be found except the part of the jawbone and five teeth.....

    一山田 After losing radar contact, a U.S. Air Force C-130 from the 345th TAS was tasked to search for the missing plane. The C-130 crew was the first to spot the crash site 20 minutes after impact, while it was still daylight. The crew radioed the location to the Japanese and Yokota Air Base and directed an Iroquois helicopter from Yokota to the crash site. Rescue teams were assembled, prepared to lower Marines from helicopters. However, American offers of assistance in mounting a search and rescue mission were declined by the Japanese government who determined that the mission would be undertaken by the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) and that outside help was not necessary. It remains unclear why the offers were declined.

Yes, both aircraft lost hydraulics, but the conditions are different: different aircraft of different weight and aerodynamics, extensive damage to the tail in one case. You can't compare the two. Simulations of JAL 123 were conducted and even with knowledge at hand, no one was able to pull off what the actual crew did. Given the terrain, the damage, and the erratic behaviour of the aircraft, I'd say their chances of a safe landing were extremely small. Both crews displayed remarkable skill - there's no need to take that away from either of them.

    Actually the four survivors told most passengers had already prepared to die and actually accepted their fate. "just utter fear and hopelessness." That's the *first* reaction. But after a while when people realize they're highly likely to die they devote their last moments alive thinking about their loved ones and decide to spend their last moments alive in a dignified way. Don't believe me? *Read any report of people facing disasters* . Knowing they might die most people simply accept it and let go. They prepare to die and feel at ease. Also, most of the passengers were Japanese and they have a different way of facing death. To them it's something which can happen at any time if "karma decides it". For this reason they decide it's something they can't escape or influence.
