The Fall of Flight 123 | xQc Reacts to Nexpo 

4 ppl tanked downward spiraling plane crash + 12 hour emergency response time

Nexpo did a great job at summarising this incident. My father was one of the passengers on this flight for a business trip. Watching this makes me tear up for him, and for the loss of the 520 lives on board that day, and the 4 survivors who have gone through such a traumatic event. I've spent most of my life studying and pursuing a career in aviation because I never want something like this to happen again. I've worked as both a plane maintenance worker, and am currently going through training to become a captain on the 737-type. I've never once taken any shortcuts when attending to plane repairs/maintenance and have done everything exactly according to the standard procedures. This is something that all maintenance workers should do to avoid anything like this. At my company, Flight 123 is one of the flights that is continuously referenced in inductions, in memory of the pilots and passengers and as a reminder for workers to do their job properly. What hasn't been pointed out in the video is that, against all odds, the crew all fought to the very end... they didn't show any signs of giving up. Their sheer will almost got them through this horrible incident and that's something I want to carry on on every single flight I'm in. They're probably one of the best few pilots I've ever known. I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone has if you see this comment. Anything about my experience, technical details about the incident, or anything else. I watch or read something about this flight like once every month, and each time I bawl my eyes out thinking about what they all must've felt going through this. RIP Dad, Captain Takahama, Officer Sasaki, Flight Engineer Fukuda, and the other 516 lives lost that day.

The people responsible for the repair are directly responsible for life lost. Really really sad.

There's a video by green dot aviation which actually shows how good the pilots were. Many people have been given this scenario in simulation and nobody lasted more than 20 minutes. They managed to almost take control of a plane which was essentially doomed. Incredible skill and commitment. Dont think this doc does justice to their heroics.

Bruh, who the fuck ignore a rescue mission and waits for 12 hrs.

Sakamoto Kyu was on this flight. Pretty famous japanese singer at the time. The second week in August is a very important time in japanese culture called obon. During obon, families travel home to see their loved ones. Super tragic timing for this to happen. My buddy and i visited the crash site on the mountain side of Takamagahara in Gunma a few years back. It was surreal Rip to all who passed away 🙏

imagine surviving a plane crash and then dying cuz nobody came to help

Imagine going on a plane for a family vacation, and then you realize it was a ticking time bomb to your own execution. I can't even begin to fathom.

1 view in 36 seconds? Fell off.

There is some info on how they survived. Something about the rotation of a portion of the fuselage resulting in reduced Gs and just a lot of luck.

I was about to do the dishes and needed a video to listen to in the background. Perfect timing

In reference to delta 191, it crashed due a weather phenomenon called a microburst. A downdraft of a storm that literally pushed it into the ground.

was about to actually do my homework, thanks for clutching mr editor

start: 0:00 Ending: 24:22

ACTIVATE WINDOWS as billionaire

17:10 thats is hell, to hear screaming while everything is burning around you not knowing if youre going to die has to be one of the most wildest feeling

The company I was with had a family member or co-worker on this plane. There was also a lucky person at that work place who had booked a flight but cancelled that flight because of a friend's invitation. The sadness fades with time, but it never goes away.

I know this is a video with a serious subject but "Activate Windows" is making me laugh everytime

Nexpo just stalls so much with his videos nowadays. Like just get to the point and stop making it overly cinematic for no reason.

imo this is the most terrifying single aircraft crash in the aviation history. they managed to fly the unstable plane in over 30 minutes that no one can replicate that in the simulator.

Same incident happened in china airlines flight 611 with a boeing 747. they failed to repair the bulkhead correctly after the tailstrike but it took 22 years to build up the crack this time compared to JAL 123 which is 7 years . the plane snaps mid-air.

classic juicer vibes in this one

As soon as I clicked on the video I got immediate core core vibes. His whole room and atmosphere giving off them vibes

I will never understand how you can carelessly neglect an issue whilst repairing a plane that hundreds of people depend on. RIP to all those lost lives. Youd have yo catch me dead before seeing me on a Boeing

Editor needs that paycheck 😭

Classic chat blaming Boeing for everything

They flew the plane for 32 minutes with just flaps and thrust. Their steering yokes were useless since there were no stabiliser and hydraulics. All 3 pilots received a Polaris award after the crash for their heroic effort. If the flaps didnt fail at the end too, they would have made it back to Tokyo just 100 km away (a few more minutes) but it wasnt meant to be

For anybody still intrested in the crash, its much more worth to look up the air crash investigation documentary of this incident, cause Nexpo overly dramatizes the crash so much, it doesn't do justice to the pilots. Seriously, go look up an actual documentary, if intrested.

Still crazy that 4 people survived

what a reaction! i even forgot the nexpo video was playing in the background

You have to commend the pilots and technician for working as hard as they did to save everyone. I believe had help arrived sooner that their efforts would have been visible.

Man.. Waited, and never came. That is just sad. I feel so bad

already watched the whole video

Activate windows Mr editor

I find it incredibly interesting how when I'm sitting at the airport I don't worry about flying but as soon as I step off those boarding things and put one foot on the actual plane every video like this and every episode of air crash investigation I've ever seen in my entire life come to the front of my mind.

Somebody in the chat really said ''Dead on my screen'' im wheezing

Mayday air disasters did a good job about reporting this crash too. Nexpo did alright

In reality, the way the plane crashed was that it struck it's wings on small peaks before smashing it on a larger peak. This removed a half of the wing and tore off E4. The impact sent the on a roll/flip, hitting the other side of the valley on its back

Activate windows juice man 🧍‍♂️

The nacelle is the streamlined enclosure on an aircraft, typically holding engines, fuel, or equipment. It's commonly referred to as the "body" or "housing" of the engine. The nacelle plays a crucial role in providing aerodynamic efficiency and protecting the engine components. In some contexts, especially in casual conversation or among aviation enthusiasts, someone might refer to the nacelle or engine housing as "body gear."

its 5 am and x uploads new video, see comments "fell off" GO SLEEP BRO (says me)

Hey xqc, I just really wanted to say I love your channel. My father passed away a few years ago and your videos and streams help me laugh and keep stuff off my mind. Thank you! And keep up the awesome work. BOOK BOOK BOOK!

btw. they can control the plane still with power and flaps. if they use flaps on 1 side of the wing u can steer it aswell but costs speed

xQc's chain reaction is stronger than an atomic bomb

776 at 6 minutes? prime x would have 400k viewers by now

Thats the reason why I have always a parachute on me when I'm using a plane

plane went 321

the people who did the repair: "Well it flew 12000 times, i'd say they have only pay me well enough for that"

The fact that this happened right exactly at Obon has to be some kind of omen

When all the beeping was happening, someone in chat said "sounds like McDonalds" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 true

i wonder can airlines provide parachutes for the passengers.. or simply a giant parachute for the plane itself.

1:21 Mr RU-vidr trying to make it immersive before beginning with the dialogue. Strimmer already hovering the mouse over the progress bar because of ADHD.

mr editor is trying to catch up on his 3 days with no paycheck

Fun fact: Critikal gave in to the "reaction content bad" Twitter mob. That's why you won't see him react to this vid and others like it. Imagine if X was that spineless 💀

Another banger incoming

the subtitles being offcenter after him moving them makes this video miserable for me to watch

If you see a hi RU-vid on the chat it was me 😎

This is genuinely my worst nightmare

xqc: how the hell did four survive??? some guy in chat: they jumped at the last second

Is it just me or is that plane alarm the creepiest sound to use.... If im in a plane where an engine has "exploded" and is smooking and i hear that alarm sound, id probably sheit my pants and faint

Not those stupid ahh airbus glazers going "boeing lmao" even right after it was just explained that it wasn't boeing's fault

Hmm i wonder if boeing will increase training amd safety protocols after this, surely it would be a wise move instead of say, have a CEO that is all about cost cutting and punishing those who speak out about dangers clueless

watching react videos so i can have someone skip the ads for me while i pick my fingernails

why did u skip nexpo other vid?

If that alarm was real, that video NEEDS to be taken down. Hundreds of thousands of devices react to ALL types of emergency alarms, in such a way that they immediately start broadcasting the same alarm once a device near it picks up the frequency. Bro could've sent a whole airport into pure chaos.

9:10 bro it's doing the minecraft elytra infinite flight glitch!! fly at 45 degree up and down at your peak momentum to keep flying infinitely - except the plane does that naturally? Minecraft has insane physics bruh

Chat saying "this wouldn't have happened in america" have no clue

this was so fucked up man i cried watching this video

Chat is so weird by spamming salute like this is a jome

can you even call the 4 ppl that survived lucky Aware

xqc really reacted to this one guys!

20:36 "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

I feel like that video could've been 6 minutes with that little information

He could’ve played the whole radio transmission

Nexpo uploads a new video and I find out through xqc.This man really has his fingers on the pulse of content ☠️

I love watching this when I’m about to go on a flight

this video felt way shorter than 20 minutes

RIP the other video

"only 4 survived" bruh the plane fuckin disintegrated idk how even those mfs lived

i like how billionare strimmer doesnt activate windows

"D end" is crazy

Bro said imagine starving in the chat😂😂💀💀 like bruh that was they’re last worry

So, the rescue teams should been dispatched much earlier, and the engineers shouldn't have allowed such a mistake to happen.

he looks like hes in a basement true goblin mode

not flying any boeings fuck that. Only airbuses

Dude he just changed his house again wtf💀

You the best xqc super entertaining everytime

“Activate windows” based

lmao the last tiktok video an hour ago got age restricted and privated so he uploads this

Ts so sad bro…RIP

So Boeing has a history of faulty aircraft.

23:25 "my pilot"

Look, it was a Boeing

Now this does put a smile on my face

I hope to god that this isnt another one of Nexpos painfully slow videos

Did he ever react to the paranoia video?

this guy knows how to steal videos

we don't make such patents even on our cars...WTF

1 view after 44 seconds. Irrelevant streamer

"Hold on.. If it's that simple, there is no way this is an oversight. This is deliberate." Boeing in 2024: Doesn't put the 4 retaining bolts in a door plug and has an uncontrolled decompression at 15,000 feet after the door plug yeets itself. It seems like FBI is taking over that investigation now, since it is leaning more toward crime than accident, and Boeing is being slippery.
