Aviation Photo #0217820 Boeing 747SR-46 - Japan Air Lines - JAL

Over 500 souls where lost on this machine... RIP

Oh my. Is this the actual plane?

Hello from Australia. I just watched an airline documentary on this disaster. Such a tragedy, brings a tear to your eye. Though there was no chance of landing, the pilots did an amazing job to keep the aircraft in the air for so long.. and amazing that 4 people survived. There may have been more survivors if the US marines were allowed to land, or if the rescue efforts were quicker. It's terrible - RiP.

Full view of aircraft, tail number visible, good contrast between white aircraft and gray background.

Hi ! on you had a toy ? and you lost part?. and you tall? ok! OK OK ok OKAY! OKAY! you were on tv?
wow! here lies JAL 123 RIP.

A photo of a plane gone down.

Great shot! it was the greatest disaster in history as japan airlines flight 123 crashes at mt. osutaka. causing 520 people died.

I enjoy this photo as it shows great detail of the actual plane

It really chills me that you can actually see where the tail had been repaired incorrectly in this photo. Very dramatic, very good picture.

Great clear shot. Well cropped, too. Lighting and contrast is perfect.

Wow, this is chilling. Plus, the pale colors make it a little more sad and dramatic (which it is)

This plane had catastropic minutes after leaving tokyo. The rearpressure bulkhead broke away while cruising at 23000 feet. The force of rushing air blown almost entire tail and caused total hydraulic failure and crashed in mount osutaka gunma. 520 people onboard killed. It still remains as the deadliest single air disaster in the world

For those who were wondering, this Japan Air Lines 747SR-46 is the actual plane that crashed on mount Osutaka.

One little consolation to this disaster.... at least four survived from this crash. A rarity considering the circumstances. If only the repairs were done properly.... Thanks for sharing this!

Historic shot on the saddest way
