Japan Airlines Crash: How All 379 Onboard Survived | WSJ 

⛔ if this was filled w/ US passangers...there would be MANY FIGHTS ON THE PLANE...ENDING WITH everyone DEAD!

Everyone (?) says the Japanese follow instructions. Maybe it is more of a "collective good." US airlines do not mention that seat belts prevent bouncing off the ceiling when there is a sudden drop while flying. I liked JAL's safety announcement to "Leave the luggage alone and save your life" at 2:53 should become part of USA instructions. I was unsure it is was or not when I first wrote this comment. BTW, the flight attendants did a fantastic job. Sitting there for all those minutes with the doors closed must have been stressful.

At 2:50 they show a bit of the JAL inflight safety video. I found the whole thing on RU-vid and it goes into more detail on evacuation than I’ve seen in similar videos from other airlines.

@@Sashazur i have flown JAL this year and can confirm this is part of their safety video.

This seems pretty in character with Japanese people. Had this happened somewhere else (America for example), I feel like there would’ve been people trying to get their bags.

Exactly, if this happened in China, it is certain they would not have listened nor followed instructions, then go on to take their baggage, half of the passengers will not make it out alive

Japanese culture us all people are disciplinarian.

@@jennifer_atkinsonlistening to authorities is exactly what got all of those kids in the Sewol ferry tragedy killed

Japanese people is the world most courteous people not that I like them

Exactly, if this happened in the US everyone would be selfish to get their bags and everyone would die

It's not just the crew but the Japanese people themselves who are calm, cultured, civilized and able to follow basic instructions.

@@Benderrr111 This!

@@Benderrr111 The ability to link into the hive mind during an emergency is truly a lifesaver and we all need to remember this lesson. It's no time for rugged individualism.

@@Benderrr111 I can imagine if this happened in the UK or USA . People would be to busy vlogging it and trying to get their luggage, or get upset if someone que jumped them.

I've flown Japan Airlines just twice but wish they could do all my flights. It was the best plane experience I've ever had if picky it was simply based on the professionalism and hospitality the crew offered. This didn't even surprise me when I learned of it earlier this week. Fantastic airline and I would absolutely fly them again if given the choice.

So, 8 minutes to go from a 100 mph+ collision, come to a full stop, decide to evac and get a bunch of confused/scared passengers out of 3 doors. That's pretty good.

Ok. That makes more sense. 20 minutes seemed kind of long. I’ve gotten off planes faster than that on normal flights sitting way in the back with everyone fumbling for their bags. The news reporting seems biased towards wanting to make the Airbus the savior.

and some dogs died in the fire :(

@@MarkTarsisexactly, airlines shouldn’t take so long to board/unboard. It can be done more efficiently and they know it. I hate airlines.

In fact, there was also a shipwreck in Europe. Most of the survivors were old people, children and women. Most of the men died. At least it can be seen that the men at that time left their chance of survival to them instead of panicking and frustrated selfish behavior. So I think it has nothing to do with individualism or collectivism. Could other collective country have done the same thing? This kind of thing can only happen in Japan because it is a special characteristic of Japan. For example, disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons occur frequently in Japan. And it is the characteristic of respecting authority. The last thing is the herd effect combined with the above. (Most of the people on the plane were Japanese, but there were also white people. These white people did not behave selfishly.) Miracles are not that cheap The ship's name is Titanic.

It seems that foreigners among the majority of Japanese people were influenced by their calm discipline and acted in the same way as them.

The Japanese are trained in evacuation procedures from kindergarten

except when Godzilla came in town

Americans could learn a thing or two from them

I learnt from the comment over yours that Japanese people do emergency evacuation drills since kindergarten due to them having a lot of earthquakes and tsunamis. Thats why they are so well prepared.

Attentive, def isnt the correct term, lol

@@adambane1719 ... pretty sure it is, though? lol. What are you talking about.

The passengers were coperative and did exactly what was required. Otherwise, the evacuation would not have been successful as it had. So it's not just the crew. Credit should go to both passengers and crew.

Evacuation took 18 minutes NOT 90 Seconds as required by regulation.

@@dsudikoffdamn right. They took ages before initiating the evac.

⛔ if this was filled w/ US passangers...there would be MANY FIGHTS ON THE PLANE...ENDING WITH everyone DEAD!

as the host said the cabin crew must confirm firts to the pilot if its safe to open the door ,emergency exit or they have to confirm to the pilot if the plane is already standstill. Plus cabin crew have to know first the safe door to open because smoke and fire is everywhere i think.That is the reason it took them minutes before opening the door@@Lonjul

Correct! Showing Gratitude Goes A Long Way! We must remember that too! Thanks for the reminder

There's also a 95% conviction rate. You just try breaking the rules.

Yup, imagine this happened in the USA. everyone would've died because everyone thinks they're the most important. They'd be going after their luggage and trampling on each other to get out.

Exactly. It's all about excellent early education. Being born one ethnicity or another doesn't give you magic powers, except for physical attributes.

Self control and Patience is a Virtue Unlike any other Aspect of Faith.

Something to be proud and grateful for. I wish all countries would teach their citizens the same. Definitely ensured this outcome. I'm very glad to see everyone on the plane survived this. When I first saw it, I was thinking the worst.

おっしゃる通りですね。 私も小学生の頃には押さない、走らない、しゃべらないと訓練の際何度も教え込まれました。 うちの子供は保育園に通っているのですが集団での避難訓練は赤ちゃんの時から経験しています。 日本で住むには不可欠な訓練ですね。

That really paid out. Similiar in Germany but definitly not as orderly as in Japan.

The American passengers would fight for their RIGHTS

america is the epitome of selfish individualism

Australian plane would be just as bad - not a single person would forgo their carry on bags.

Yup Americans would try and grab their bags meanwhile people behind would be burning for their precious bag

The woke passengers will demand that evacuation priority should be based off DEI check boxes.

Americans would start screaming, grabbing their roll-ons from the overheads and someone's dad would say "c'mon we're getting out of here", open a door and slide down into a running engine.

I beg to differ. A few years back, an Air France A340 with 300 people onboard, a half of whom were French, crashed in some bushes at the end of the runway in Toronto and burst into flames from the torn engines. Everyone escaped safely in under 90 seconds, from just one or two usable emergency exits. So even with a French crew and French passengers, you can have picture-perfect evacuations despite very critical circumstances.

@@melainekerfaou8418 French, not American.

If you are taking your confidence from RU-vid, then you really need a good sit down with yourself

I am Japanese. I have flown JAL many times and it is an airline I am very proud of.

@@adambane1719 what an unbelievably obtuse, mean-spirited and unnecessary comment that is. I form my opinion from the fact that all passengers survived, regardless of where the fact is found. YOU are the one who needs to sit down and find your own confidence that you soiled your own ground with.

@@user-si1eq8bc6i シンガポール人です．来年12月福岡に旅行しました！　私は日本に何度も行ったことがあり、日本人のおもてなしにいつも感謝しています。また行くのを楽しみにしています! I’ve always loved Japan and particularly the kindness and hospitality of your people. We foreigners have a lot to learn. Thank you for tolerating all of us tourists! I send my prayers to all those affected by the earthquake and this accident. 🙏🏼

Their PR folks did a great job with crisis communications and landing a Wall Street Journal piece. I’m sure Airbus also wanted to benefit on the promotion of the safety of its A350.

Obedience to Life saving Rules Always SAVES. Luke 16:10

It's ironic that Japan is one of the least religious countries in the world. What saved them was their discipline like you said and respect for each other, not God. Don't forget the five people who died on the other plane. Meanwhile religious people are killing each other all over the world right now, in the name of god.

It also helps that in Japan, young children take 道徳 education (doutoku = moral class) to learn about manners in society. I’ve seen children bow down to me when I let them cross the street, and I’m amazed that they clean their own classrooms as there are no janitors - there are cleaning ladies but kids sweep the floors, wipe their desks, dust off their chairs, etc. to show it’s important to take care of their environment. Everyone eats lunch together too and even kids take turns as “staff” serving food to their classmates. I’ve heard the food is quite yummy and healthy as well according to my teacher friends or mommy friends. I wish the U.S would instill something similar but parents will complain that it’s child abuse or it’s child labor.😅

The world can learn a lot from Japanese culture!

Meanwhile Boeing: 737 MAX continue to get fatal errores after errores after errores after errores after errores after errores

thanks to pilots not planes

@@CodPix We need to give credit to the planes as well, the pilots' confidence in the plane, and the predictability of the plane and just the plane behaving as per standards, built to standards gives the crew and the passengers enough breathing room to try and take the most optimal decisions.

What is? The subject??

The fact that there were this few casualties. Most placed would have been a serious tragedy since panic and evacuation disorganization would have been costly.@@adambane1719

@@adambane1719 it's rare that the evacuation was that quick and they survived.

and it took 10 min for the pilot to check the whole huge plane, good job

Well said! 👍🏽

Seriously？The nuclear disaster in Japan show how incompetent Japanese were, when push came to shove. The poor planning of the nuclear power plant over the years, the mismanagements along every steps of the incident, the cowardice of JSDF personnels who were deployed to deal with the nuclear meltdown. It was a disaster of their own making.

​@@gyzq Very clever comparing a nuclear disaster to a burning plane evacuation.

⛔ if this was filled w/ US passangers...there would be MANY FIGHTS ON THE PLANE...ENDING WITH everyone DEAD!

Actually, in major disasters, almost everyone looks out for everyone else. Leaders often go nuts, but the generals population do fine.

also major respect for the captain staying in the aircraft until everyone was out and the final check was complete

Hurrah for the captain who landed on top of a plane taking off. With no training I could do that . Why not look at the runway while you land? Are you telling me that 3 pilots never looked?

@@bushwacker508 a similar incident happened in 1991 at LAX in the evening. ATC cleared a turboprop onto the runway but got distracted and forgot about them. A USAir 737 was cleared to land on the same runway, which subsequently rammed into the turboprop. NTSB concluded the aircraft lights of the turboprop blended in with the runway lights and the USAir pilots could not see the plane. I would assume that it is a similar case here where the CG plane’s lights blended in with the runway lights and the JAL pilots did not see them until the last moment.

What an advert for Airbus

And how unsafe Boeing jets are becoming

@@arjunpatel3658 ridiculous, Boeing aircraft are safe, and how does this crash mean that they’re not now lol?

Has far more to do with the composites used in construction of the fuselage than the airplane maker. Airbus and Boeing both use carbon fiber bodies on their modern aircraft, including the A359 here. Had this been a B787, the burn rate would have been similar.

@@arjunpatel3658and yet no hill losses for the 787 with 2x as many having been delivered yet 1 for the A350…..

Indeed, composite suit better for aircraft.... If it aluminium, pretty sure its would tear off due the impact....

​@@cocvillage5283and also Aluminium did not handled well under high temperature.

I think this point is being very underemphasized by many.

What??

I don't even think this would be possible with nearby countries. I live in Asia and every time I visit Japan, I'm amazed at how orderly they are.

14 of the passengers from HK...

@angng655 ...and 12 passengers from Australia . This most likely means that there were many other non-Japanese on board.

Oh that’s not-

My brother and his wife were on this Airbus. According to his brother, the flight attendant did not open the door unnecessarily, and several other flight attendants looked through the window to check for flames and communicated without microphones whether it was safe to open the door. Passengers were worried, but said they could clearly hear the crew's voices. He was told not to take any of his belongings with him, so he fled with only his wallet, cell phone and his wife's small bag. There is a risk of being engulfed in flames if you open the door carelessly. So they didn't open the door right away.

@@owkiazndoqbyu9879I’d imagine it was unbearably hot inside, was it?

@@thunderbirdyt3799 Luckily, my brother was sitting far away from the fire, so it wasn't too hot. By the way, most of the flight attendants on this Airbus were newbies. And I'm grateful for them.

ANA self-guilt themselves after the incident 50 years ago and trained their crews to absolute perfection (even NTSB concluded that 100% of fault belonged to Boeing

Wasn't it just last week several American airlines revealed a new rebate scheme for obese people to have 2 seats for the price of 1?

I'm sorry but I couldn't help lol reading your comment

Someone pin this man comment please because it’s so true.

yep thanks for the clarification as no one has mentioned this...

The 90 seconds evacuation counts from slide deployment. The flight attendents had to first make sure only the safest exits were opened which is why only three of the eight doors/ slides were used as escape routes.

Yeah, you;re just making up stories to suit your own weak comment !

Nor obese flight attendants. Fly a US-based carrier to see the heifers serving drinks

Also staff inside the planes told everyone that insurence company will take care of their luggage. The company spend in total 130M USD for all passenger's luggages and ANA after 48h.

And they had 20 minutes

But it caught fire so easily.. in the first place

@@nmew6926Well yeah, jet fuel burns and a collision with another plane is going to rip open the tanks and cover everything with that fuel. Not much they can do about that.

@@nmew6926of course it will catch fire, anything with fuel and a bunch of electrical wires will burst into flame. The fact that the airplane was pretty intact even after everyone had evacuated is just shows how well built the aircraft is

Great job Mr. Save-A350-Reputation influencer.

Pray for max victims around the world ! Beacause of selfish stupid reason !

America and West? More like India, China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Turkey, the Middle East, the entire AFRICAN continent, Brazil, Argentina, and the entire South American continent. Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, Danes, Brits (before the immigration of millions of Middle-Eastern, Pakistani and African people of the last 20 years), Germans (Before the immigration of millions of Turks, Syrians, Middle-Eastern etc) and many other Europeans and some "American" categories would have behaved in the same way as the Japanese. "A few years back, an Air France A340 with 300 people on board, half of whom were French, with a French crew, crashed in some bushes at the end of the runway in Toronto and burst into flames from the torn engines. Everyone escaped safely in under 90 seconds, from just one or two usable emergency exits." But maybe you know nothing about the world around you. And BTW, there were many Australians, meaning “former” Europeans, therefore Western culture, on that plane as well. Luckily they were not woke-commies, otherwise, they would have managed the situation following an “Oppressor-oppressed hierarchy list.

Sad thing is that crashes hurt the reputation of the planemaker even when everyone survives the incident (like BA38 and the Emirates 777 crash and Miami Air 293) or the planemaker is in no way shape or form to blame (such as UIA752 and Miami Air 293 and MH17)

Get woke some place else buddy !
