JAL Flight 123
The miracle is, that the drivers kept the damn thing in the air for 32 minutes, an incredible feat of aviation. They just couldn't pull off a forced landing sadly

Re: AC 624
The JAL accident because the rear bulkhead blew out and took the rudder and elevator controls with it? How they kept the aeroplane in the air in semi-controlled flight will always be a mystery to me, the world and anybody who isn't Pete Conrad. The crew got so close to recovering an LOCV; they should be honoured.
