Another video of JAL Flight 904 plane crash.


"JAL904 Plane crash from takeoff to emergency landing, about 24 min.
English announcement by CA, "Thank You" is added at the end regardless of the content.
It sounds strange when you are used to American English.

Jet airliners normally perform reverse thrust to shorten the runway distance during a normal landing. If they did, the plane would veer off to the side.

The Trans-Siberian Railway, which I wanted to ride the entire line at least once.

https://youtu.be/GhHeB3frgQA

With a total length of 9,297 km, it is the longest railroad in the world. I heard that "third class seats" as they call it in Japan have no wall or door on one side, and various races sit and sleep in one room again. I heard that if you take this trip in the middle of winter, you can enjoy the harshness of Siberia the most.

However, as I am getting older, it is getting harder and harder to have such an adventure. Sad to say.


Instead, I took a one-week Japan Rail Road Pass ticket from Tokyo to Wakkanai Station in Hokkaido, the northernmost point of Japan. Then turn back and cross Honshu ・ Kyushu to Makurazaki Station on the Ibusuki-makurazaki Line, the southernmost point of JR Japan, return right out of the ticket gates, turn back and go to Tokyo Station.

I guess this is doable for the "old man".

Baikinman
"Third class seat" in Japan is later called "second class" and now "ordinary car" （ The car symbol is Kiha, or Moha ）.
JR's southernmost station is Nishi-Oyama Station.
By the way, Japan Rail Pass is correct, not Japan Rail Road Pass.

Thank you, Mr. Mucho, for your detailed explanation as always. I am amazed at your knowledge. In the old days, you taught me that when a passenger plane could not park near the terminal but stayed at a distance, it was called "off-shore stopover".

"Third class seats" also went that way, didn't it? When I was a kid, we had special seats (! ), there was first class, second class, and third class. We were always in third class. When I was a child, there was a walled-off room at one end of the commuter train cars that was reserved for US military personnel. We lived at the east end of Tokyo, so we never saw any Americans in that section, but they must have been riding there in the Tachikawa, Hachioji, Yokohama, and Yokosuka areas.


＞ JR's southernmost station was Nishi-Oyama Station

Yes, it was. There is a signboard "JR Japan's southernmost station" at Nishi-Oyama Station, isn't there? You can also see Mt. Kaimondake clearly, and the diesel train will stop for a minute or two long because passengers get off to take a commemorative photo. I intend to take a commemorative photo too.

Should I interpret Makurazaki station as the southernmost terminal of JR?
