ABSTRACT:
3 pages in length. Leaving behind a legacy of being the deadliest accident in aviation history involving a single aircraft, Japan Airlines flight 123 cost no fewer than five hundred twenty-two lives as a direct result of structural failure. The 6:12 pm takeoff from Tokyo International Airport put the airliner twelve minutes late; after approximately twelve minutes in the air and ascending to cruising elevation, a series of events occurred - traced back seven years to faulty repair - that caused the plane to careen into a mountain ridge. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
