The 4 survivors reported initially hearing many other survivors whose voices eventually fell silent. Disgraceful delay on the rescue effort.
Truly horrifying
He said exactly that in the video, I guess you missed it.
Thanks, I did indeed watch the video
I cannot comprehend how in the world that even happens. Someone should go in jail for this.
Bro literally said that
"put down your cigarettes this is an emergency descent" Is such an 80's thing to hear on a doomed aircraft.
You know I gotta get my ganja on if this shit happens to me
@@RaiX0901right
@RaiX0901 Cheers homie. We'd be passing the blunt mid-nosedive. My last words would be "who else wants a hit of this??" lol :P
You read my mind
After 911, Cigarettes were not allowed anymore.
This case was the exact example why my field safety and disaster management trainer always reminded me to always assume, that people can survive and will be waiting for immediate help in case of an emergency, no matter how dire it may be. Calling off a rescue based on an assumption of "nah, nobody would survive that" is a grave insult to anyone who are trying their best to stay alive amidst a disaster.
Dang
I always say, you never know until you know.
“Nah, they’d perish”
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned through my strange fascination with accidents and such, it’s that you genuinely cannot assume that people didn’t survive. People have survived some absolutely insane shit over the years.
grave insult to life itself. like, wtf

(Side note, Japanese I not my language, so I apologize if there are a few name I might have mis-translated.)
Harrowing seeing just how long it took for me to scroll to the bottom of this list... so many names...
Thank you for adding this. Absolutely heartbreaking. 💔
Months-old children.
I empathize with the two that took their own lives. I couldn’t continue on waking up every day to something like that.
"(Side note, Japanese I not my language, so I apologize if there are a few name I might have mis-translated.)"
So why did you translate them over to japanese in the first place???
this comment made me finally lose it and break into tears
The fact that they had kept the plane flying for as long as they did really showed their skill. When they tried replicating it in the simulator, nobody lasted as long as they did. Really frightening really. They really tried anything to survive
Interesting fact about aviation, the first airplane to land without any sort of hydraulics was DHL Flight 209. They got shot with a missile and managed to land the Airbus A300 without any help from hydraulics. There's even footage from an infrared camera from a helicopter and tv coverage from the reporter that interacted with the terrorist group that launched the missile. When the plane landed, it did slightly deviate from the runway, but landed safely and all people (three flight crew) survived.
i guess nothing compares to a life or death situation lol
They had nothing to do with the plane continuing to fly. Literally all of their controls were useless. If you cant control either wing or tail you can only control throttle. That being said the pilots certainly tried everything and sounded like good men. Terrible and terrifying.
They had to fight for their lives
@@bernss92more like flight for their lives 😏
That just makes it all the more horrible and depressing.
The fact that it took them everything and anything they could do to survive makes the fact that rescue ignored the crash for 12 hours all the more disdainful.
The flight conditions that JAL123 experienced that day were replicated in countless simulations in which cases the pilots didn't last more than a few minutes. The pilots and flight engineer of JAL123 on that day managed to last a whole 45 minutes, they were heroes that didn't stop fighting for their passengers until their very last moments. I also find it disgusting that the Japanese government essentially abandoned rescue efforts after the fact since they assumed everyone was dead on impact, wasting precious time that could have saved lives.
The Japanese government had the opportunity to to allow a passing American military aircraft to go to the crash site and administer aid but they didn't allow them...I really don't understand their reasoning for doing this.
@@Jaxqx Maybe they’d prefer the “dignity” of the quiet honorable death, as opposed to the noise that would be made by survivors.
@@Jaxqx yes, they ignored help which South Korea did as well when the tragedy of the Sewol ferry happened in 2014 326 people died out of 338 people on board and the captain was the first one to be rescued and most of those passengers are highschool kids on a field trip
What were they even thinking? “We’re too busy right now, lets postpone these efforts until later. Anyways walk were we talking about?”
@@andyghkfilm2287 Exactly what I was thinking. Japanese culture's relationship with death and honor combined with the convenience that would be no bad PR from survivors.
The fact they fought through 45 minutes straight of just attempting to control the plane and just in the end to hear them say this is the end is heart breaking to hear knowing they tried there hardest to gain control
Many coments mention that others tried to replicate their achievement of 45 min staying airborne in simulations. Noone managed. Their struggle was not in vain, 4 people survived.
@@kukuki5000yes - they had pilots try the same flight conditions in a sim and not one person was even remotely close to the 45 minutes of JAL123. Bear in mind their control were HEAVY due to there being no hydraulics (imagine an old heavy manual car and steering for 45 minutes, the strain that physically takes), and the pilots would’ve been facing hypoxia and still somehow, fought through hypoxia (the brain not getting enough oxygen, due to their altitude). That’s on top of all those alarms screaming the entire 45 minutes.
And heartbreakingly, the Japanese government didn’t bother going to the crash site until the morning leaving survivors who would’ve actually lived to die in the mountains, freezing and praying for help. The US military had offered to help with the search and rescue efforts but were firmly told “no”. The pilots did an amazing job getting a few lucky souls alive onto the ground, just for their government to not bother.
@@kukuki5000 because they was never trained, and 4 years later it happened again, United Airlines flight 232, crew lost all hydraulics and still managed to land, plane was stable until last second before the crosswind swept the plane, expert test pilots were unable to re create the landing and it was deemed as "The Impossible Landing", NTSB said that training for this is too impractical so they swept it under the rug again and in 2003 it happened again with DHL cargo plane that got hit by SAM in Iraq, they lost all 3 hydraulics and miraculously managed to land safely intact. I have my all respects to all these 3 flight crews because they were never prepared for this moment
@@gmdascensiathat's so upsetting that they said training for this is too impractical. Even just 3 times is too many. If they had received training, perhaps those landings could have been even better than their (obviously very skilled) pure intuition.
It was 32 minutes
It is heartwarming to know that Boeing still observes the same standards of quality assurance after all these years
I'm always gonna make sure any flight I book is NOT Boeing
Modern Boeing is McDonnell-Douglas in a Boeing cosplay
@@avolvemusic Booking with Frontier and JetBlue just because they don't use any Boeing planes in their fleet
Hopefully a plane doesn’t just drop out of the sky but each story that’s come out it seems like that’s the end point
@@avolvemusicI wish they could just bring back ocean liners at this point
The fact that they were told to head back to the base, even though they were literally right there and ready to repel down, makes my blood boil
They turned what would have been a tragic and probably avoidable accident into a disgusting, reprehensible failure by the people responsible for protecting the public
In the defence of the japanese officials, the americans who reached the crash site said that the crash was 'unsurvivable'
The same thing happened in the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster in South Korea that killed 304 people. Different countries offered immediate help, they refused... and did nothing for hours. It's infuriating.
@@moent00 the way that was handled (or should I say NOT handled) was absolutely sickening and infuriating. I will never get over seeing those poor children banging at the windows trying to get rescuers attention and they just did nothing. Knowing they did everything they were supposed to and had complete trust in the people in charge until the very end breaks my heart.
And did I hear right that they could actually _see_ survivors? 🤬
It's one thing for the people who died from this tragedy because there were no rescuers, but for the employees to commit suicide to atone for their deaths is just bone chilling.
That is only unique in Japan.
yea that's japanese culture for you. although they're past the age of samurai and shit, they still value honor and letting the passengers die under their company meant they dishonored them and thus they did what they had to do to restore their honor
@@voyager1977.2that's not only unique to Japan not by a long shot. There are a lot of cultures that have even more severe examples from around the world past and present. Also even in USA there are many many examples of people doing this and it's not even a cultural thing here.
@@jackelewish1568 Still, Japan is mostly have this culture. I get it can be applicable to other countries but it's very rare.
@@voyager1977.2 Um, no. That's a particularly nasty form of survivor's guilt with a dash of failed rescue guilt. I know neither phrase is entirely accurate. But when it comes to forms of collective trauma there isn't much value in making a bunch of subcategories. At the end of the day both the employee that survives and the passenger that survives are suffering from the same thing- PTSD.
Nexpo did a great job at summarising this incident.
My father was one of the passengers on this flight for a business trip. Watching this makes me tear up for him, and for the loss of the 520 lives on board that day, and the 4 survivors who have gone through such a traumatic event.
I've spent most of my life studying and pursuing a career in aviation because I never want something like this to happen again. I've worked as both a plane maintenance worker, and am currently going through training to become a captain on the 737-type.
I've never once taken any shortcuts when attending to plane repairs/maintenance and have done everything exactly according to the standard procedures. This is something that all maintenance workers should do to avoid anything like this.
At my company, Flight 123 is one of the flights that is continuously referenced in inductions, in memory of the pilots and passengers and as a reminder for workers to do their job properly. What hasn't been pointed out in the video is that, against all odds, the crew all fought to the very end... they didn't show any signs of giving up. Their sheer will almost got them through this horrible incident and that's something I want to carry on on every single flight I'm in. They're probably one of the best few pilots I've ever known.
I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone has if you see this comment. Anything about my experience, technical details about the incident, or anything else.
I watch or read something about this flight like once every month, and each time I bawl my eyes out thinking about what they all must've felt going through this.
RIP Dad, Captain Takahama, Officer Sasaki, Flight Engineer Fukuda, and the other 516 lives lost that day.
I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope that things are alright for you.
I don't really know much about aviation, my grandpa used to be a pilot but I never really asked him about the technical details. Thank you for the work you do though, and best of luck with your pilot certification!
I suppose if you really want to answer a question: what's the hardest part about working in aviation and/or being a certified captain?
What is the level of affect something like that can do to a pilot, and what is your opinion on Boeing not fixing the plane properly
Sorry for your loss friend. My uncle was on the US plane that offered to help. Sad incident.
Im sorry for your loss man, I am certain you are making your father alongside others in your family proud, it is inspiring to get a sense of your story although strangers on the internet, thank you.
How does it feel that Boeing is now led by a man who is concerned about pleasing his investors and cutting costs (that should be towards safety maintenance)?
imagine ur siting in air traffic control and all you can do is listen to this
that would indeed be horrible. i feel the least they could do is call for help but i feel they were silenced to japans ego
I know you had to write an "Imagine" comment, but... yeah?

Same here, and while obviously it’s impossible to truly understand what they were feeling, it must’ve been terrifying. There’s probably few experiences in this world that can compare to that level of panic/terror.
The knowledge that not everyone immediately perished, but survived the crash only to prolong their suffering… it’s the stuff of nightmares.
"This is the end". That will stick with me for a while. To hear someone acknowledge that death is imminent is seriously disturbing.
Imagine surviving a plane crash and waiting for rescuers that would never arrive. This is haunting
Andes rugby team crash
A less known fact: Kyu Sakamoto, best known outside Japan for his international hit song "Ue o Muite Arukō" known as "Sukiyaki" (check the song out, it's beautiful).
It reached number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 in June 1963, making Sakamoto the first Asian recording artist to have a number one song on the chart. He was also the first Japanese artist to have a number one single on the Australian singles chart.
Died on 12 August 1985 in the crash of Japan Air Lines Flight 123, along with 519 others on board the flight, making him a casualty of the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history.
One part of JAL 123's legacy that often goes overlooked is that a United Airlines pilot named Dennis Fitch began practicing re-creating the crash in the simulators in the hopes that he could find a way to land a plane safely in such a situation.
In 1989, Fitch was a passenger on United Flight 232 when the plane, a DC-10 with the third engine built into the tail structure, ended up losing hydraulics when the fanbelt of said engine suffered failure, resulting in a situation very similar to JAL 123. Fitch went up to the cockpit and assisted the flight crew with controls in their efforts to land the plane. Of the 296 people on board 184 survived. Without Fitch, and without JAL 123 to learn from, it almost certainly would have been worse.
Just looked this up and that is amazing! I'm glad the pilot took his time to maneuver around such conditions, which ended up saving so many lives! The JAL 123 incident is truly sad and it is enraging to hear that so many lives could've been saved. But due to this they survived as well. More people should hear about this!
lads howre the logan bogans
He wasn't just a pilot, he was a Check Pilot who knew more about the safety features and landing that plane than anyone who was not in his field, and he just happened to be on board that day.
No way.
Where has Fitch ever stated that? I am aware of the accident in question and to my knowledge he never mentioned anything of that sort. Not to even mention that he acted purely as the captain of the flight asked. Also when control surfaces are lost, its common knowledge to use engines to have at least some control. I dont think JAL123 had any effect on how the crew worked around on flight 232.
But it is ofcourse possible, and i would cladly be corrected on this. Anyways in both cases pilots did phenomenal job, but unfortunately complete hydraulic power loss is very hard to survive from.
I can't believe they just let people burn in agony as they thought everyone would be dead. Arent, they meant to have a more optimistic response and try to see if they can save more. I can't imagine what it could have been like waiting for help that never came
Many of the survivors froze, not burned as they waited for rescue. It was a very cold night up in the mountains.

Just to note, JAL123 isn't the worst aviation accident in history, but the worst involving a single aircraft. The worst in history is the Tenerife disaster when 2 fully loaded Boeing 747s collided on the runway.
Other note is that this is worst aviation *accident*.
Many compare this to 911 event. While yes more deaths on that event, it was a deliberate hijacking
Nexpo did state it was the worst aviation accident involving a single aircraft just btw!
just to note, you have to watch and pay attention to the video before trying to correct others.
@@luciferislucid No he didn't, he said it was "single worst disaster…in global aviation history".
Always boeing
Flight 123 and Challenger are major examples of how a single oversight can lead to disaster. Had the tailstrike damage been properly repaired, the plane would have never found itself in the mountains 7 years later.
It's a miracle anyone survived the crash and following flames, may the victims rest in peace.
You don't know that.. what we do know is it was a contributing factor in this case.
@@exophthalmos1it's literally THE factor of this case? It's the sole reason the plane suffered the damage and rapid loss of pressure. The bulk head repair failed, the bulk head ruptured.
The Challenger explosion was a psyop. Nobody was on that hunk of junk. They played the rings thing up the whole time before launch and STILL launched it. There are also several videos/mini docs that have tracked down and attempted to question each member of the crew that have changed a part of their names in some cases and who all seemed to very nice paying jobs at prestigious places. What is shown is beyond remarkable. They track down every single one and amazingly they don't want to talk on camera and deny who they are suspected to be even though the parallels, similarities, evidence and straight up looks all points to them being the actual crew of the challenger. You can call me a crazy tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist but not until you've actually looked into it yourself. Unfortunately that's what the case usually is. People make judgements on things they never even looked into or know anything about. But once again the Challenger explosion was a sham and a farce.
@@General_Junkie typical deranged take
@General_Junkie I ain't reading all that but I can still tell you're yammering nonsense

This is so tragic. Hearing them say "this is the end" is heartbreaking. Beautiful video though, I didn't know about this crash before. May the victims rest in peace.
You know what even crazier. After this crash they created a program, that can auto pilot a plane without hydraulics. But was refused to actually be implemented due to the rarity of the cases that have total hydraulic failure.
A few years later their was an DHL airbus that actually survived a missile strike taking out their hydraulics and this program was still refused.
@@LatedozerThat is insane. Their are psychopaths in the Airline Industry I swear
@@stormcutter59it’s sadly why these changes are known as “tombstone regulations”, aka “we only make significant safety changes when enough people die”. So yeah, I’d say you’re bang on with calling them psychos.
One of the victims was Kyū Sakamoto, a famous Japanese singer who died in this accident. He was famous for _Sukiyaki_ song in case if you don't know.
One line of that song's lyrics is "shiawase wa kumo no ue ni" (happiness is above the clouds) which ironically was not in his case of his own last moment.... 😢
I've already saw videos like this. But Nexpo manage to give this accident a justice. What makes this even depressing is that the rescue took time to arrive. They could've save so many victims but no. Survivors stated that after the crash there's still some who are in grave injury and could've still be save, but no.
This one of the most horrifying flights ever recorded, just the thought your top wing has an explosion only to realize this marks a tragic end
Yeah, most modern aircraft designs are extremely vulnerable once the vertical stabilizer/rudder assembly has been damaged. In some cases one can kind of compensate by playing with the throttles, but it's very difficult to do manually. There's a delay inherent to jet engines that almost requires precognition to compensate yaw using only thrust - it's very nearly impossible.
Yes it’s very horrifying, all of flight crash records. But I thing the flight Germanwings Flight 9525… is more horrifying.
@@KRISOrginalthis isn’t a contest you weirdo
“top wing” lmao are you fucking kidding me?
It's called a tail bro
14:02 “this is the end” I felt so ill when I read that while seeing the computerized plane dive to the ground. Like my heart dropped.
the visual of it, with the clip cutting off before it hits is so heart wrenching
Not alone man, I felt the exact same way.
Gripping, heart-wrenching, beautifully composed~ You certainly nailed this one Sir Nexpo.
I cannot describe the excitement I feel when I see you uploaded a new video. Keep up the great work!
hearing the "this is the end" from the captain is so sad and bone chilling
You forgot one thing: there were two impacts, the first being when Engine 4 strikes the peak of Mt. Takamagahara, sending the 747-146SR onto it’s back, with the aircraft’s momentum propelling it into the side of Mt. Otsuka…**roof first**.
A part of me is almost glad that detail was left out because even reading it made my heart drop. I cannot imagine what that would even feel like, let alone how anyone could survive such an impact.
@@Moon_Child_Mari Ironically, that collision attitude made the crash *more* survivable. Most people killed in aircraft crashes don't die from the impact itself - they die from the fire as the wing fuel tanks explode. If the aircraft doesn't immediately detonate, most people on board will survive, assuming the crew tries their best to keep the vehicle under some semblance of control. It's entirely likely there were a couple dozen survivor or more from the initial impact.
@@MrJest2it was confirmed there were at least a few dozen survivors initially. I remember a quote, from a young girl if i recall, about how there were tons of people calling out for help and their parents after the crash; and how those cries were slowly silenced through the night as they froze to death.
EDIT: not young girl, 26 year old off-duty flight attendant
@@knuteknoll6747Thats horrifying wth
@@Akiyya yeah this situation was terrible. The late response time directly lead to the deaths of dozens of survivors
This was a masterpiece of a video, thank you so much for posting!
The visuals of this piece was amazing. Everything was put together so well. The ending almost brought tears to my eyes the way you described everything
12:02 What’s interesting here is that because the plane had lost all of its control surfaces, the pilots had to use differential thrust in order to maneuver. You can actually hear the captain ordering the co-pilot to add power to the left/right set of engines so the plane can turn. That’s really impressive, and a shame that their efforts were in vein…
Edit: Some folks replying assume that I was saying that their efforts to save lives were in vain. No, I was talking about their efforts to regain control of the jet. They did what they could to salvage their aircraft but were doomed to fail, and even they knew it once their differential thrust technique got more sluggish as evident by them veering towards the mountains…
Vain

@@emzed33 Well those East Asians need to pull their heads out of their polite asses and accept help when offered.
if there’s any solace that you can find in this crash, it’s that this incident helped save the lives of over half the people on united flight 232. a dc10 lost all hydraulic control, and they were able to regain limited control of the plane because someone on board studied JAL flight 123 and knew planes could be controlled using only the engines

My grandfather was in the USAF and stationed in Japan at this time. I asked my mom if she knew anything about it. She said "I remember the base being really upset. Because they could hear the traffic. We had a small airtraffic controller and airport .
But we couldn't go unless they asked for help."
I gave her the link to this video to watch. She then sent me a PDF of Michael Antonucci's account in "Pacific Stars and Stripes". In it he states that the Pilot wanted to land at a US military base. The went to go find the flight, and found it around 7:20. Around 20 minutes after the crash, the authority's had the location of the crash. The Marines were then preparing to launch, around 9:05 the Marines radioed in that the smoke was too heavy to land. The duty officer then said to return to base immediately, the Japanese are on their way, and sent the AF and the Marines back to base. And not to talk to press
oof
Wow
Japan will sacrifice human blood for a "good image"
"They've been in a crash but we can't help them unless they say so lol. We need permission is not like it's life or death." Is what sort of human logic??
Just save the people you share the planet with?????? Why is this controversial????
@@Roadent1241probably because if they went against japan’s orders while within the country, that would be a direct act of defiance against japan and would break many rules that they had set out. which, although this mindset isn’t right, the american government at the time was probably thinking of the lives that could have been lost if they went against japan and then they decided to go to war.
JAL123 crashed in my home prefecture in Japan. My mom remembers the day she saw the crash in the news because nothing this major ever happened in Gunma. It was especially shocking for a lot of Japanese because a famous singer named Kyu Sakamoto died in the crash (one of his more well known songs is Sukiyaki). I was honestly surprised to see that one of my favorite CZcamsrs posted a video about the crash since I haven’t heard many people outside of Japan talk about it. This was a really great video about the crash and I’m glad to see someone cover it.
yo the way you script and edit these videos gives me chills and makes me so anxious, good job !
Years ago when I worked for Boeing I met one of the guys who was on the team that installed the repair. There was a lot going on that never gets mentioned, but one thing I remember was he still had the paperwork from the airline engineers. They had to modify the repair once they got there and he had the papers where the JAL engineers looked at the changed repair and signed off on it.
This was close to thirty years after, and it still haunted him.

He's always good at telling a story that still haunts you even if you've heard it multiple times. I've read a lot about the Titanic, but I think even Nexpo could make me feel the weight of it again.
It is a testimate to the pilots that they kept the plane aloft for so long. But, I can't imagine the horror of being a passenger with no control of the situation and having the plane essentially uncontrollably stall and lift, stall and lift, over-and-over again. The survivors hearing people moaning and children crying and screaming for their parents in their final moments. Honestly it's the fear of seeing children have fear that enhances my own fear of flying.

@@CantTellYou I mean, I've been a sucker for horror stuff since 2003, so seeing something like this I'm always willing to dive into the scariest, disturbing, or shocking parts of it. Heck, the moment seeing the photos of the crash, was identically similar to the one in Russia nearly 4 years prior in 1981....My jaw dropped that the cabin lift incident last year had a very similar mark in the forest to this crash...It's just very shocking how very little reporting and updating notifying in the workplace even occurs. And to be honest, seeing japan boycott the brand was the equivalent of people in america boycotting Boeing because of the 1978 lockerbie great britain bombing 8 years prior to this event.
your videos are out of this world. the level of detail and cinematic skill it takes for your videos blows my mind every single time
as an aviation enthusiast i have read this story and watched many videos about it, but the way nexpo tells the story it's like i'm hearing it for the first time. wonderful job as always 🙏🏻
A detail I really liked about this video is how you inverted the timestamp colors for "Time of Impact". Instead of white text on black background, it was black text on white background. Can't explain why, but it's a more peaceful tone as if it signifies the end of the struggle. Your editing is incredible.
Thank you for being so respectful and bringing this tragedy to light for me.
Love you, Nex❤
The color white is associated with death in Japan.
If you've ever seen Silent Hill or video game horror loading screens or chapters in the game, it's a very similar style to the one shown here. The black text represents the horrors and tragedies of the event, while the white represents the soul and the afterlife after it has happened.
Many pieces of flight JAL 123 are in a museum -- devoted to aviation safety -- on public display to this day. I would imagine many people aren't aware of that so I figured I'd mention it for anyone wanting to check it out.
I think they named it the "Safety Promotion Center."
Always love to see a new Nexpo video, this kind is always very intriguing when it’s about real life events outside of internet mysteries. Great work as always
this is so heartbreaking, completely preventable disasters like this just... make my heart hurt for everyone involved. i can't even begin to imagine the fear the passengers must have felt...
thank you as always for including captions in your video!! it truly helps me enjoy it even more
Honestly this reminded me of Kyu Sakamoto who sadly was on this flight. Before i knew he was on this flight, i was listening to his music. And after, I understood that Japan lost one of its most loved jazz musicians of the time. His music is truly something else and i reccomend it even if you dont speak or understand japanese.
Thank you for the info. Looking him up now.
Japanese jazz definitely hits different. Thanks for the recommendation.
wait THIS was the kyu sakamoto flight??? (i’m in the beginning of the vid so idk if it’s mentioned)
i’ve heard he died in a plane crash from my japanese teachers over the years whenever ue wo muiete arukou/sukiyaki is mentioned. to know these are the details of that flight- chilling
Learned he was on this flight years ago. Ever since, whenever I hear the Sukiyaki song I get oddly emotional. The juxtaposition of the song with the reality of this tragedy in my mind is overwhelming
That's gut wrenching, but I'll absolutely check his music out.

I always appreciate Nexpo pronouncing names right. Time and time again I hear "sorry if I pronounce it wrong guys I'm not Japanese!" or whatever it is, but he always takes the time to make sure it's right out of respect
i agree, there's no excuse nowadays when you can check how to pronounce words online. it's disrespectful not to put in that effort
Worse yet are those who purposely fumble the pronunciation multiple times only to end it by saying something like "Sorry I can't pronounce it guys, I don't speak the language" as a "joke".
true tho its pronounced obon not oben 😅
But sometimes it's very hard to learn the spelling like in finnish
Unfortunately, in this case, the only name he pronounced correct that most commonly get wrong is the name "Tajima" where most would say "Tah-JEE-ma." The others are what I normally see in American accent which are mostly fine. This is aside from Tominaga Hiroo's family and given name both being mispronounced.
Great video as always, been following you since you went by nightmare expo, and you have only gotten better as the years went by! Keep it up!

I can’t state enough how impressive these pilots were. Controlling an aircraft in this condition and managing save lives even if very few is an amazing accomplishment. What’s truely horrible is the tragedy that followed this crash, the 12 hours it took to get rescue to the site, it wasted so much of these pilots efforts…
Interesting fact, this plane crash inspired the 2004 album by German Neue Deutsche Härte / Industrial Metal band Rammstein, titled 'Reise, Reise.' The album's cover art was that of a black box recorder (except for in Japan where it was a massive icebreaker ship with the band's now famous "R Kreuz" [R Cross] logo), and had mentions of flight in the song "Dalai Lama" which itself was written about the current Dalai Lama's fear of flying, combining it with the tale of "The Elf-King" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In fact, on most CD releases of the album, if played in a stereo CD player or car stereo, and reversed about 30 seconds, a pre-gap track dubbed "Flugzeuglärm" begins. The track features the actual final 30 seconds of the black-box as a lead-in to the title track and album opener.
And that Japanese cover art later became the Rosenrot cover art.
As soon as I heard the end of the black box recording, I suddenly remembered where I'd heard it before. Donaukinder is about the Baia Mare gold mining cyanide contamination of the Danube and R+'s title track and name are from the Ramstein air show disaster, so it's very much in keeping with their music discussing dark moments in history and literature to have this in Reise, Reise.
13:57 this is the part of the audio that got used on the album
I was looking for something mentioning reise reise
They took it off the Psotify version, on CZcams it's still available.
Well researched and well done. This video gave me the sense that I was on that doomed flight, especially with the black box excerpts.
I need so much more long form nexpo dude. He does such an amazing job of doing all this research and showing it to us all
I know that airplanes are generally very safe on an objective level - statistically speaking, less dangerous than a car - but that doesn't change the fact that, even though they're less likely to go wrong than a car is, the actual threat they pose _when_ they go wrong is way higher. If something goes wrong, they essentially become mass cemeteries with wings. You can survive a car crash, but fat chance you'll be able to survive a plane crash.
Yeah, absolutely. And another thing that's really scary about plane accidents is that a lot of the time there's gonna be a certain period of time during which you're totally certain you're about to die, and so is everyone around you, and that period can last a long time. You have to deal with feeling the plane you're in fall for some time, at least with cars it's faster a lot of the time. Obviously that's not always the case, but it's still something I find really scary about plane accidents, there's nothing you can do while being forced to hold the knowledge that you're probably about to die.
This & the comment above PLUS the fact that im pretty sure the only reason airplanes are safer than cars is mostly because not everyone in the world is on a plane traveling every single day. Whereas with cars, you use them more which increases the risk of being hurt in them more (right?? Or am i dumb lol)
@@OhdeerohmanYou aren't dumb, but I'm pretty sure in* both cases the numerator (top number) is number of trips over the denominator, which is number of fatal accidents. So the difference between the number of flight and drive trips is controlled and not part of the comparison. Sorry if this is unclear, but you're comparing fraction to fraction
[Edit: typo and clarity]
@@Ohdeerohman I believe planes are safer in general, and that theoretically if we were to scale up the number of planes to the number of cars, planes would still be safer. Planes tend to have very experienced crew, lots of maintenance, and companies that really don't want them to crash because then they're lose absurd amounts of money. This means that when you do hear about crashes it's often tragic cases like this where there's nothing that could be done as opposed to the user error that is behind a lot of car crashes.

THANK YOU for making simple and accessible soundtrack playlists. it makes it so simple to find the music you've used. amazing video as always, but such a horibble tragedy...
Flight 261 and flight 123 are prime examples of aircraft maintenance failing in the worst ways possible
Kind of. This type of fix or modification has to go through a series of approvals. The maintenance tech is just the one that follows the approval. The engineers that signed off on it would hold more of the fault.
Also want to add Flight 232 to that list. Extremely similar.
and china airlines 611, also a 747 and also suffered tailstrike. difference is that the china plane literally broke apart in 3 while midair.
I vote for Flight 800. Being engulfed in flame with the cockpit gone is hands-down, my worst nightmare.
Kabo Air Cargo Flight 671 (Operated by Trans Air Service) did have a good ending though, while El Al Cargo Flight 1862 didn't..
You know, as time goes on, most CZcamsrs either slowly stop posting as often/at all, or the quality of their content goes down so much (ads, clickbait, no new material) that it becomes unwatchable. Nexpo truly is the diamond in the rough. Thank you for the videos good sir!
follow better youtubers lol i know many who keep getting better lmao
@@highdefinition450well everyone's taste will be subjective
@@highdefinition450like who lol
Nexpo may be posting more often again, but he did indeed slow down for a while
His previous video was garbage but this one is great. I hope he keeps up with these kind of real life mysteries instead of those obscure nonsense.
Great video educated me well! Keep up the work its insane how well these videos are made!
This was an incredible video. Very caring, too. Hell of a job, keep it up.
This is the first I’m hearing about the maintainers’ suicides. That hit too close to my heart man.
I shouldnt be surprised but the editing in this is crazyyy . The seatbelt beeping at the beginning??? Sent chills down my spine
The visuals in his videos has gotten sooo good
This video is so good, I felt like I was in the plane myself! Amazing as always Nexpo!
this video got me quenching my pillow at 12:10. great job nexpo, your videos never misses.
This has officially hit my top 10 most gut wrenching irl stories. Things like this, and the case about the men being pulled into an oil pipe, are things I will never forget. Too many stories about companies/execs/leaders just not giving a sh*t about people and letting them suffer for hours before ultimately dying
The oil pipe story made me feel physically out of breath like I was suffocating by just listening to it. It was such a hard thing to watch.
@secret_lil_princess for real. That case made me so angry and heartbroken
I think its the top of my list tbh
Horrifying, enraging, and gut wrenching in ways I struggle to even put into words
I will never forget it
One of the worst parts is that it was possibly preventable, but they didn't even TRY
I cant imagine how the survivor felt. I can't imagine how much of a nightmare it must have been to hear the men continue to tap the pipe and call for help, for 2 f***ing days
@@NephialtSo many stories like this are in some way preventable and it pisses me off
We should know how to take care of the things we have people on. Flight 123 and Space Shuttle Challenger are the ones I think of most when it comes to negligent maintenance that led to tragedy. Rest in peace to all. 🕊️
But Challenger didn't have anything to do with negligent maintenance.
@@SirMildredPiercethe explosion was caused by a worn out O-ring on the rocker solid boosters, in fact NASA knew exactly what the limits of the O-ring were after testing them, they resulted faulty and unreliable, and decided to keep them for launch, this, combined with the cold weather on the morning before launch, are why the challenger exploded
@@SirMildredPierce faulty O-rings? Sure the cold didn’t help but they were left alone because they said it was ok for launch.
Had nothing to do with maintenance, it was negligence and penny pushers.
When it comes to Negligent Maintenance, I can think a lot regarding Boeing and their MCAS.
I seen several countries was banned from travelling to Europe because Lion Air Crash because their country was too poor to afford Airbus and Boeing is f**king defective ever since they implemented MCAS system.
Then the Ethiopia Airlines 302, same problem.
Then recently we found they half ass their maintenance on an industrial scale while starving Spirit Aerodynamics of their funding and the FAA with NTSB of their documentation reports because the CEO wants more money.
Thank you for sharing their story so they are not forgotten...
Too many CZcamsrs like to tell this kind of story without being respectful or empathetic towards the victims... Thank you for not being one of them and for remembering the good that exists in human beings
When Nexpo uploads, my day instantly gets better. Time to watch and rewatch this over and over.
Heartrending to hear about flights like this, where a slight oversight can cost so many lives. My deepest condolences for the lives lost and the trauma the survivors must continue to bear. The importance of thorough and precise maintenance checks on aircraft can't be overstated.
This is the case that got me into researching aeronautics accidents. The end of the black box recording is used as the opener to the album Reise, Reise by Rammstein. As a fan, I looked up where it's from, and it sent me through the rabbithole of plane crashes in general. It's crazy how many lives have been lost to insufficient maintenence, cost-cutting attempts, harsh weather, and ego. Flight 123 isn't even the most egregious case by a long shot.
Thank you so much for all the work you do with your videos. They never disappoint.
hello, im quite interested in knowing what aviation tragedy is the worst case in your opinion. any reply would be greatly apreciated
Look into the mayday series. I learned a lot from those episodes.
@mayanur8399 For me, the Air France Flight 447 was especially egregious, partially because the problem that downed them was so minor, a tiny bit of pilot error that went unnoticed until it was too late.
Also, cases like Lockerby, the Bijlmer disaster, and others that killed regular people on the ground that were just going about their day before their world went up in flames get to me.
And the Germanwings Flight 9525 case makes me so mad. Lubitz (the pilot) should have dealt with his problems and accepted that his life would need to change instead of taking it out in a plane full of people. He deserved help, but couldn't take the fact that it would mean giving up what he loved.
"Worst" is always relative, especially with something like aeronautics, where the littlest thing can mean death for all aboard. The wrong size screw, a missing pin, too long on the tarmac, a miscommunication, fog: all it takes to kill dozens or hundreds. It's truly a feat that flying is still one of the safest ways to travel, because any little problem can have catastrophic results.
@@mayanur8399 Oh, and if worst = dumbest, I think Aeroflot Flight 593 takes the cake.
Nex you do such a fantastic job with these videos. One of my all time favorite follows on any site. 👍🏻
This video was so well produced, edited and narrated, I'm stunned. I've seen a handful of disaster videos on YT ranging from plane crashes to fires breaking out in buildings among other things, and while I did feel bad about the situation, most of it I wouldn't think about days or weeks after I'd watched it. This, however, is probably going to stick with me for a long, long time, solely because of how amazingly you put it all together. Those visual aids helped me a lot in figuring out what exactly was going on as you were narrating and each and every moment I could feel the terror, the hopelessness, the danger and the panic everyone was in. This is a horrible, dreadful disaster that should've never happened in the first place at all, if someone had just checked the repairs that had been done to the plane. But it was overlooked. Dwelling on the past however, and constantly saying things like "this should've happened instead" or "this never would've happened if.." won't amount to anything. I just hope that people will take disasters like this, like Tenerife, like 9/11 and like so many others and do everything they possibly can to prevent it all from happening in the future. We've come a long way, and a handful of things are better now... but at the same time, there are still worrying moments. I pray that those who unfortunately lost their lives to this disaster, lives that shouldn't have been lost if the JPN gov't didn't assume that all 524 passengers immediately died on impact, and that they are at peace now. They will be remembered for years to come. They won't be forgotten.
While this one and the vol. 14 of disturbing things on the internet are honorable mentions, to me, "The Cult In A Boarding School.", in my opinion, is the absolute worst than any incident in history. Considering it was isolated in Maine, and ran for nearly four decades torturing generation Xers in some states, it's no wonder after that video, why I understand how Generation X suffered through the most tragedies, than any generation combined, not even Gen Z/Gen Alpha comes close to that.
It also should be suggested that Don Mclean's song, mentioning how another plane crashed, and thus "To Light The Sacrificial Light" can be applied into any disaster that has existed since the first millennium.
The story telling, the graphics, everything. Your work is amazing, and I appreciate you bringing remembrance to tragedies all over the world
He's just copying lemino better watch he's channel for even better content
if ur interested about this incident i suggest green dot aviaton's video on this topic as it's much more informative than this video. this video doesn't do the disaster justice imo.
Horrifying on so many levels. Plane kept going up and down instead of a fast fall and crash, pilots being so good but having no control of the plane and the tragic last words and knowing they'll die, crash was entirely preventable, people being able to be rescued but weren't for 12 HOURS (which makes me sick), people that did survive are probably traumatized for life, the 2 engineers taking their life afterwards. Just failure and tragedy all around, so terrible and sad.
This was a really good video man, even with the warning and preparing myself for the Audio, I bawled when finding out they waited 12 hours to search and rescue them, im so devastated for those people who were on the flight and the family and friends who had to endure such a heart breaking experience like that, I pray to whoever hear it, and hope they are living well🙌
great video as always, thank you.
This plane crash has fascinated me for multiple years. It's what led me to learn more about planes and aviation in general.
same, the second one for me was the tenerife disaster
Same
@@1694cgrnt he said of the 524 on board, 4 survived. so 520 deaths. and the 524 on board is accurate. i dont know why you're commenting multiple times that he's wrong when he isn't lol
The one where 9 are sucked out of the plane gets me.
Or flight 800.
i really want you to know how appreciative i am for how diligent you are with subtitles. it’s always so relieving watching your videos because i don’t have to struggle through auto-generated ones. only 6 minutes in as of writing but im excited 🤞
rest in piece to all that were lost in the crash of jal123. beautiful video i need more of these ryan
Nexpo - I’ve been a fan of horror a long time, but it was you that started my true journey years ago. Your og Local 58 video hooked me to you, then subsequently so much more. I say that to say I don’t feel fear much anymore, especially existential fear, but my god did this story summon those feelings from deep within my gut. Thank you for being you.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the soundscapes that are created in these videos? There’s a decent amount of times I just listen to them, and the amount of effort it takes to execute sound design this well is just truly amazing. It adds to the level of sheer quality each and every new Nexpo video has and keeps me looking forward to the next one!
nexpo ilysm i missed you i needed u
Thirsty
@@AkiraK-zr6kv for him yes
@@AkiraK-zr6kv Absolutely parched and I ain't even sorry
such a huge loss of life ... truly devastating. rest in peace
Youre great at what you do Nexpo. Keep up the great work
