Date: 11/10/2017

The JL123 plane crash of 12 August 1985 remains the world’s largest single plane crash. 520 of the 524 passengers died in the crash in the mountains of Ueno-mura in central Japan. Over thirty years on, there is much, and seemingly increasing, interest in the crash; there have been two novels, both of which have been dramatized, numerous documentaries and books, and more and more visitors are going to the crash site, Osutaka-no-One, each year.
