The queen of the skies. Our majesty the Boeing 747 takes off into the quiet dusty night. Rising up higher and higher going up thousands of feet. It goes up and up and eventually reaches its prime altitude to cruise safely at. Food and drinks arrive! Yay! The ladies who were as nice as MrBeast generously offered everybody some tea and a meal to slowly munch on while being over 30000 feet in the air.

First class must have been a surreal experience! A lot of people stare with jealousy at the business class people so the first class must be dead by now! They get their private ‘room’ and a lie flat bed! Must be very comfortable. Soon, the lights became dim and everybody on board settled themselves to a good night's rest.
Boom! Oxygen masks dropping from the ceiling like dropping off a cliff and the plane makes a large sound. Panicked people scream and start to wonder what is going on. Havoc, panic and terror are the only words I can describe here.
Moments later the plane started to rock uncontrollably and the plane kept going up and down.
Focussing on the fatigued pilots now, they tried hard to keep the plane still. Talking to Tokyo ATC they diverted back to Tokyo International Airport. As the queen flew right over Tokyo many people took photos of the plane which was missing its tail.
Mountainous terrain was ahead and the pilots were starting to lose hope. They decided to pull their landing gear out to gain a bit of control but hope was dimming and they knew that it might be the end. They fought hard to keep the plane still but it was no use. They edged closer to the mountains. They were now starting to lose too much speed and altitude.
Down they went. Bang! One of their wings clipped the mountain. It was the end.
*Impact*
Jal123 12th August 1985 had 520 dead. Only around 12 minutes into the flight.
Rest in peace!
