No tail wing.
The plane lost all hydronic system but flew for 17 minutes by engine power control only.

August 12, 1985 ... JAL 123 (Boeing 747) from Tokyo to Osaka with full of people lost vertical wing and crushed into Mt. Otsutaka ... That is 33 years ago. 520 people lost their lives. It is the largest single plane fatality in the aviation history.

What was I doing?

I remember working as a sales person coming back to the office and watched TV showing the list of people's names. I asked what happened and learned the plane has crushed.

I fly a lot and every time I fly, I think about that day.

Side Note

Kyu Sakamoto, Japanese singer was on the JAL 123. You know the SUKIYAKI song.
