Exactly. What if there were survivors but they died when they all went home?? Obviously I get that people can’t just stay out and search forever, but there should always at least be someone who’s looking!

Captain Takahama's daughter, who lost her father during this tragedy, was a high-school student at the time of the crash. Despite the horrific outcome, she still decided to become a JAL flight attendant for Japan Airlines. Such love to follow in her dad's footsteps by working the same airline as he served in & heroically tried to save his passengers.

It is said that many pilots tried to recreate this situation on a flight simulator, but every one of them were unable to carry out the maneuvers the pilots did on the original plane. Both the captains received posthumous awards for their sheer determination and will. May all the 520 innocent souls rest in peace for eternity, and never be forgotten.

The JAL crash was due to a botched repair, whereas, in Tenerife, the KLM pilot initiated his takeoff roll without clearance - deliberate action of jumping into the unknown without a safety net - which is basically Russian roulette. Hats off to the copilot for speaking up, if only once, the first time the captain's itchy trigger finger got the better of him, and what a bummer for the Boeing employee who physically installed that single row of rivets on the seam.

Also, Boeing acknowledge their fault in the situation whereas JAL never admitted fault for their subsequent lazy inspection of the repair, resulting in the suicide of two of their staff who took responsibility through their deaths. They also bare ultimate responsibility as the operator of the aircraft and never took responsibility beyond paying approx. 13,000 USD per death. JAL even tried to blame the pilots. Meanwhile, Boeing paid more than JAL and reached an amicable settlement with the families involved. They also supposedly replaced the 747. Boeing wasn't cutting corners; their technicians made a mistake and it was clear in the report. The splice works, if the repair was actually completed correctly. One faulty repair should never down an aircraft with the level of redundancy in the industry, unless your maintenance procedures and inspections aren't thorough. Especially when the faulty repair lasted 7 years, waiting to be inspected. But mistakes like those can happen. The botched rescue? Inexcusable.

The efforts after the crash are shocking. If those US Marines had been allowed to land so shortly after the plane went down, far more would have survived.

So many mistakes and too many lives lost. Starting with maintenance of the plane,but also the people in the helicopter just assuming that there were no survivors. And then the next rescue team camping overnight so close to the accident,while people were dying! Just heartbreaking!!!

It's disgusting that the people weren't saved immediately when they could've, just because of some pride and political bs.

At some point, yes. And I think we are at that point. Time for people to be held accountable. Boeing employees say that those training employees how to build planes are an outside firm of people who have never built a plane. A lot more Boeing planes are going to come down in the coming decade.

8 PSI doesn't sound like much to say an automotive tire person, but with that many square inches, that is a massive amount of force!

Obviously a horrible tragedy. Many of man’s machines are seemingly so well built with the latest technology yet simple human error can still doom them. This is sadly what happened to the Titanic and equally sadly happened to JAL 123. In the JAL case a repair done incorrectly years earlier caused the explosion that brought down the plane and killed over 500 innocent people. RIP to those who perished and condolences to their loved ones. This is still so sad to me almost 40 years later.

I am so sorry for this

The most fatalities in any aviation accident in history occurred at the Tenerife North-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport (then Los Rodeos Airport) in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, on 27 March 1977, when a KLM Boeing 747-206B and a Pan Am Boeing 747-121 collided on a runway, killing 583 people.

The disconnect between the pilots and passengers (most airlines) needs to be corrected. See >>> 5:30

Bad rescue people

Why didn't their Quality Team make sure to keep track of the amount of flights on that Bulkhead?! It's one thing when it's Nature that takes a flight down, but when it's human error, careless human error, that's a whole other thing! May all of their Souls Rest In Peace.
