The year is only two days old and Japan has already had to deal with as many tragedies. After a devastating earthquake on New Year's Day, January 2nd saw a passenger plane collide with a small coast guard aircraft at Tokyo’s biggest airport. Both planes burst into flames. While all 379 passengers and crew of the Japan Airlines plane managed to safely evacuate before the Airbus burned out, only one of the six people on the coastguard plane survived.
For more on this, we talk to Stephen Wright. He's a professor of aviation at Tampere University in Finland.
And we talk to aviation expert and journalist Julian Bray, who joins us from Cambridge in the UK.

How many will actually learn that the critical factor in saving so many lives was NOT trying to take luggage? The crew were phenomenal, but so were the passengers.
@Shyndree
@Shyndree 8 ай бұрын
The critical factor is listening and following instructions. Your flight crew is trained for these situation, while you as a normal passenger don't have a clue. Just following their instructions will likely save your life way better than trying to think of what to do. These trainings are designed by experts who know what works best as we can see from this example.

When I saw that all of the passenger and crew on the commercial aircraft survived I was shocked! I’m a retired aerospace engineer, and I am so happy that the passengers and crew were able to escape. As the first aviation expert explains, this is a new aircraft with expensive composite materials used in the structure. This made a significant difference in the crash survivability of the aircraft, which meant that passengers have the ability to escape in that 90 seconds window. No one in the industry ever wants something like this to happen, but I’m proud to see that the innovation in materials has saved lives. My heart goes out to the families and friends of the crew of the coast aircraft.

A large earthquake occurred this year as well from New Year's Day, but while the Japanese people have almost no conflicts like other countries, they have faced all sorts of natural disasters since ancient times due to geopolitical considerations. In such emergency situations, we always think about the disadvantages of acting selfishly. In fact, it may be that it has permeated our national character unconsciously, rather than even thinking about it.

Likely such a successful evacuation can happen in countries like Japan only. All the passengers (I assume the majority of them are Japanese) followed the orders and didn't cut in line to cause panic or disturbance. It reminds me of the Fukushima earthquake 10 years ago. At the time there were passengers in the subway trapped inside the carts for 5 hours. Yet there was no panic or disorders. Can't imagine the same thing can happen easily elsewhere. In my opinion it's not the strength of a new aircraft, but the quality of Japanese people the most important factor for the successful evacuation. Kudos.

Agreed, Japanese are socially very polite and law/rule abiding. In situations like this, it's paramount the passengers stay focused and follow flight attendants directions. There have been cases before where passengers would, for example, try and get their belongings (even from overhead bins) which is absolutely detrimental to effective evacuation and survival. Props to the pilots and cabin crew too for quick thinking and making correct crucial decisions on which doors/slides to use.

I’ve never flown with JAL, but one report showed their safety video. It not only verbally warned against taking the luggage when emergency occurs but visually shows what happens if the luggage gets stuck in the aisle or damage the evacuation slide. Only one person tries to do that and many others can’t proceed to the exit or use the slide to escape. I think that’s a brilliant way of teaching as it’s crucial as this accident proved. And yes, I agree with some of the comments that mentioned about the low obesity rate. Instead of allowing the obese people extra seats free, the airline companies should widen the aisles so that everyone can escape the aircraft in case of emergency. Just like a stuck luggage, one stuck person could prevent many passengers getting through in limited time

Why did all 379 people on the Airbus escape safely? No need to ask. This is because most of the passengers on this domestic flight are Japanese. Japanese people are accustomed to group behavior, and this training begins in kindergarten. This Japanese-style training is also the reason why trains are so accurate during rush hour in Tokyo. Japanese people line up more strictly than Germans to ride the train every day.

But especially the cabin staff. So many people think they are just cute boys and girls that serve you food. Being married to a japanese woman myself this my go double since they look like pretty dolls sometimes. But make no mistake we are highly trained for every emergency that can happen on board. Not only fire. On top of that we are trained in first aid and CPR. Sadly we also have to deal more and more with aggression from passengers but we will put you in handcuffs if needs be. Oh yeah we also serve you meals and drinks. And if that's the only thing i ever do in my career I'm perfectly fine with it. Thanks for being a nice human being if you fly with us.

Fact: The Coast Guard plane was about to bring relief supplies to an area that had recently been hit by an earthquake, and the situation was irregular. It is believed that a miscommunication between the tower and the captain was the cause. However, the captain and air traffic controllers are not entirely to blame. The more significant cause is that a system was not created to respond perfectly to the unusual situation. This is because no matter how responsible, experienced, and competent a person is, he or she is bound to make a mistake.

I think the biggest factor why all passengers survived is because they are Japanese. We all know how disciplined & how good they are at following orders. Also, maybe luck of course, and size compared to a smaller aircraft.

I thought the same thing! If those were Americans, there's no way they would've all made it out! Half wouldn't have listened to the flight attendant instructions after boarding. Once the plane landed & hit the other plane and the passengers saw the flames. That would've been all she wrote. 340 Americans are not going to be calm, cool & collected. I picture total chaos.

Good to see the low number of casualties. Hard to believe when you see the footage. Japan is really a complete mystery to me tbh, though. It's so different from what you would see here in Europe if a similar thing happened. I just can't wrap my head around it. No matter whether there are nuclear reactors blowing up there, tsunamis, earthquakes, exploding planes... everybody always completely calm. No screaming, no panic, no chaos. It's very difficult to understand. A completely different culture. I see it. But I can't comprehend it.

I'm Japanese, Japan is a country with a lot of volcanoes and earthquakes, and there are many difficult disasters, so we have repeated and thorough evacuation drills since we were in elementary school. We respond calmly, judge the situation, cooperate with the surroundings and help each other. It has been deeply penetrated into our culture for a long time as a common practice. I have received such strict training, so I will naturally help you even if there are foreign travelers nearby. It is very important for us to work together to help everyone.

@@ikkyu-san3436 Yeah, it's absolutely amazing. But for us Europeans, Japan is probably by far the most enigmatic country we could ever travel to. The whole country is a huge question mark for me. For example, I can never read anything in Japanese people's faces. Are they angry, fearful, impatient? You never know. 100% poker face. It's really mysterious. But I also found that if you ask, Japanese people are always very nice and helpful. I can totally confirm that. 👍

In Japan, people generally assume that others are competent at their job: and they are generally justified. Their companies and institutions don’t cheapskate and skimp on training. They also do not have a whole section of the media constantly dissing and second-guessing entire professions the way conservative media in the west do. They don’t have the culture of backseat driving.

Not just that, but the passengers are very disciplined and orderly. You can find videos taken by passenger inside the plane moment before evacuation, on japanese media youtube. They all remain seated even after the plane stopped because the crew didnt give them instruction to disembark, while the crew assesing which evac route are safe. Despite many children already crying in distress.

It is not a miracle that all passengers survived, but thanks to the precise actions of the cabin crew. The cabin crew had judged the exits that could be opened in a cabin engulfed in flames, and had given precise instructions to escape without their luggage. As the telephone lines to the cockpit were disconnected, the cabin crew in the back seat had to use their own judgement to determine an escape route. In the end, three of the eight escape exits were usable. Finally, the captain took a final look around the cabin and evacuated the few remaining passengers before making the final escape. It was not a miracle, but it was brave.
