The controversial JAL crash in India – Flight 471 accident was 54 years ago

June 14, 1972- Japan Air Lines Flight 471, a DC-8, crashes in Delhi (India). 82 of 87 aboard and 4 on the ground die.

On approach to New Delhi airport, at night, the aircraft impacted the ground on a CFIT – Controlled Flight into Terrain – in an urban area 13 miles from the runway.

Indian investigators blamed the pilots, pointing to “total disregard of laid-down procedures by the crew and abandoning all instrument indications without properly ensuring sighting of the runway.”

On the other hand, Japanese staff assessing the enquiry stated “a false glide path signal to be responsible for the premature descent into terrain”.

The video seen here is an extract from a Japanese Documentary on the accident, showing a reconstruction of the accident using the CVR recording – you can find the full video as “CVR Audio | Last cockpit voice recording of Japan Airlines Flight 471” user - おみず

I should also warn that there is aftermath footage of the occurrence, but I warn that it also features graphic footage

This little-known occurrence in rural US became a watershed event for aviation safety

March 30 1979: Downeast Airlines Flight 46, a DHC-6 Twin Otter, crashed in Maine (US). Of 17 aboard, 1 survivor. On approach to Knox Airport (Rockland), the aircraft went under minimum safety altitude and impacted trees nearby in a CFIT.

Enquiry was notable as it evaluated the airline's corporate culture as contributing factor to the accident, namely management pressure leading to pilots flying in unsafe conditions. This was the first time an investigation took this approach to an air crash, which has become standard on ACI.

From the report (...) Although the Safety Board was unable to determine the reason(s) for the flight crew's deviation from SOP, it is believed that inordinate management pressures, the first officer's marginal instrument proficiency, the captain's inadequate supervision of the flight, inadequate crew training and procedures, and the captain's chronic fatigue were all factors in the accident (...)"

For all interested in knowing more, I seriously recommend Al Diehl´s book “Air Safety Investigators: Using Science to Save Lives—One Crash at a Time”

@SlavicFangs “Keep tellin’ yourself that.” A small grin as he challenged the vampire’s role in their ‘relationship’.

As he poured himself a rum at his personal bar.

I wanna talk about one of my favorite vampires in fiction. Skinner Sweet from American Vampire. Orginally a cowboy this edgy boy takes the role of the staple villian and hero of every decade. He's an absolute bastard that you love to hate.
