How four people survived one of the deadliest plane crashes that killed 520

Only four people were pulled out alive from the wreckage of the doomed Japan Airlines flight 123 after it crashed on a mountainside.

One of the world’s deadliest plane disasters struck four decades ago when the passenger jet carrying 524 people crashed shortly after takeoff.

Four people, including an eight-year-old child, miraculously escaped the decimated wreckage after the Boeing 747SR-46 plane crashed onto a remote mountain area of Mount Takamagahara.

The Japan Airlines flight 123, known as JAL123, remains Japan’s worst aviation accident to date. It has been dubbed the Titanic of Japan’s aviation world.

This is the story of the doomed Japan Airlines flight 123 that will never be forgotten.
