Talk:Japan Air Lines Flight 123

Passenger List
I have been looking for pasenger list of victims, since a dear friend of mine was on that fatal flight. This is first time I have come to read story.

-- There is a copy of the passenger list in the book Dealing With Disaster in Japan: Responses to the Flight JL123 Crash by Christopher P. Hood.

Continued interest
For those interested in JL123, there is a group at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6637333763

CVR recording of final 33 minutes on Youtube
There was this recording I saw on Youtube about the last 33 minutes of the flight on an X-Plane 11. (on a simulator.) Can I upload that to the page? P.S: The video itself was removed from Wiki after I tried to edit and paste it to the page. (lol) EvanI589 (talk) 10:55, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey there! Just so you know, I am the creator of that same video. Informative as it may be, I am not entirely certain that a simulation made by one who is most certainly not in the profession of aircraft accident investigation meets the external link guidelines for user-submitted video sites located here. As such, I can't recommend attempting to add it to the article, not without the opinion of someone who edits Wikipedia far more frequently than I do. As a matter of a conflict of interest, I have refrained from adding it myself, of course. -- Vandalism destroyer  02:15, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Relevance of (parts of the) legacy section
Why is it relevant for the article that "[t]he captain's daughter, Yoko Takahama, who was a high-school student at the time of the crash, went on to become a flight attendant for Japan Air Lines"?

Similarly, the subsequent paragraph regarding the second familiy is kind of tabloidish. I would suggest rewriting it in a more focused way. Aleks01s (talk) 23:17, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Also, the "sequence" section could be streamlined to be less like an episode of "Air Crash Investigation". Aleks01s (talk) 00:09, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Agree should on be stuff relevant to th accident. MilborneOne (talk) 13:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Why even list Akihisa Yukawa and his family in the first place? They are less notable than the captain's daughter.  –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:53, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The incident with Yukawa and his family did garner at least two reliable news reports. I was tempted to delete it rather than rewrite it, but based on the available sources, I chose to rewrite. I would not object to the material being deleted. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:59, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Missing Critical Information
The repair was in violation of Boeing spec. Who made this decision, and why? What was their name? What were their qualifications? How is it that someone can simply decide to do it "their way"? Was money involved? Was it cheaper to do it the wrong way? This is where the real story is, and this entire Article seems to be an effort to redirect attention away from where the real story should be, and towards extraneous details.

 * It would be interesting to know what about the mechanics who "fixed" the plane that way and why they thought it would be ok. Bucky winter soldier (talk) 18:50, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * This is an encyclopedia, not Dateline. Go somewhere else to ask for this. We only publish what reliable secondary sources have published. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  00:15, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * The repair was performed by Boeing personnel as JAL maintenance felt it beyond their capability to perform such a large and safety-critical structural repair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.126.91 (talk) 14:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Did 2 or 6 people from the United States die?
“Twenty-two non-Japanese were on board the flight,including four residents of Hong Kong, two each from Italy and the United States, and one each from West Germany and the United Kingdom”

But the Wiki also contains a table that indicates that 6 people from the United States were killed?

Which number is correct, 2 or 6? Tomada36 (talk) 10:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
