Japan Air Lines Flight 123 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Tokyo to Osaka, Japan. On August 12, 1985, the Boeing 747 operating the service suffered a severe structural failure and decompression 12 minutes into the flight. After flying under minimal control for a further 32 minutes, the 747 crashed in the area of Mount Takamagahara, 100 kilometres (62 mi; 54 nmi) from Tokyo.
The aircraft, featuring a high-density seating configuration, was carrying 524 people. The crash killed 15 crew and 505 passengers. Some of the passengers survived the initial impact, but died hours later while awaiting rescue. All four survivors were seriously injured. The crash of Flight 123 is the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history.
Note: In the game Turboprop Flight Simulator, the 747 is not included. However, I used the C-400 to demonstrate how crashes occur, along with CVR audio.(Listen closely at the end when the plane is about to crash.)
