REMEMBERING JAL CRASH 日航機事故３０年

Wednesday marked the 30th anniversary of Japan's worst-ever air disaster. In the accident, a jetliner crashed into a mountain near Tokyo, claiming the lives of 520 people. Friends and relatives of the victims have journeyed to the crash site to pray and attend a memorial ceremony.
A Japan Airlines Boeing 747 jumbo jet slammed into the mountain on August 12th, 1985. It was heading for Osaka from Tokyo. The crash killed 520 people. Only four survived. Investigators concluded that the rear pressure bulkhead came apart during the flight, making the plane uncontrollable.
About 360 people gathered at the foot of the mountain for a memorial ceremony. Participants observed a minute of silence at 6:56 PM, the time of the crash. They laid flowers at an altar and lit 520 candles, one for each victim. They prayed that a similar disaster would never happen again.
