35 years since the crash of Nikko Aircraft Inside the corona memorial climbing August 12 11:57
It has been 35 years since 12 days since the crash of a Nikko Jumbo aircraft that killed 520 people. In Ueno Village, Gunma Prefecture, where the crash occurred, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, memorial climbing is being held only for the bereaved family and related persons.
On August 12, 1985, JAL's jumbo planes carrying returning guests from Obon crashed into the mountains of Ueno-mura, Gunma Prefecture, killing 520 people, the most common aircraft accident in Japan.
It has been 35 years since the accident, and 35 years have passed, and the bereaved family and others are visiting the village for memorial climbing aiming for the "Osutaka ridge" at the scene of the crash.
In the harsh heat, when I arrived near the scene, I used to hand flowers to the tombs of people who died and offered sweets.
In addition, he worshiped the victims by putting his hands together in front of the memorial monument, "Soul of the Soul.
Every year, on August 12, nearly 300 people, including the general public, climb the mountain, but this time, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, villages etc. make people who can climb the mountain a bereaved family and related people. It is limited, and the schedule is distributed over the 5 days from the 25th to the 13th of the previous month.
In addition, the memorial service held at the memorial park at the foot of the park at 6:56 pm, the time of the crash, will be greatly reduced in size, and will be held only by those involved in the village and Japan Airlines. I am deciding.
It has been 35 years since the accident, and with the aging of the bereaved families, some people have given up their mountain climbing due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and the issue is how to convey the memory and lessons learned from the accident.
