You can say that the cause of the accidents of the two planes is the same.

Japan Airlines Flight 123 crash

The plane is a scheduled flight from Tokyo International Airport to Osaka International Airport. On the day of the accident, the flight took off from Haneda Airport at 18:12 local time. When the flight flew over the east coast of the southern part of the Izu Peninsula, at 18:24:35.70 p.m., a forward external force of about 11 tons caused damage to the pressure wall panel at the rear of the fuselage, causing the vertical tail and auxiliary power unit to fall off, which caused the hydraulic control The system failed completely, causing the aircraft to spiral out of control. After a wandering flight, the plane crashed at 18:56:28 in the afternoon on the ridge of Mount Takamagahara (also known as the Ridge of the Goshu Eagle (actually: On the ridge of Mount Takamagahara))

When local search and rescue efforts in Japan were severely delayed, 520 of the 524 crew members and passengers were killed, and only 4 people survived 17 hours after the crash: including a flight attendant who was not on duty, a pair of Mother, daughter and a 12-year-old girl. As of 2024, this accident is the deadliest single-plane aviation accident. Because the Boeing 747SR that crashed is a short-range, high-capacity passenger aircraft exclusively used for domestic flights in Japan, and adopts a very high proportion of economy class seats, the number of passengers it carries is much higher than that of ordinary passenger aircraft of the same class. In addition, it was in the evening when the accident occurred. The peak and the Obon Festival homecoming peak caused many victims, including celebrities, and had a major impact on Japanese society at the time. This accident is often referred to as the "JAL Airliner Crash" or "JAL Jumbo Airliner Crash"

(But no one has managed to hold out as long as the real pilots in a crash simulator, even if they tried their best. A pilot who holds out for 32 minutes is close to being a hero🫡.)
