Forty of the hotel New Japan Fire and Nikko Haneda's crash that occurred every day for 40 years.
Great fire and crashed accident 40 years ago
40 years ago, I was living a single dormitory in Tokyo as a new employee of a certain general contractor.In August 1981, when I got a job, IBM launched a PC equipped with MS-DOS to the beginning of a personal computer.It was also the time when the first oil shock began in the 1973 Middle East War and the 2nd oil shock, which began in the 1979 Iranian revolution.At that time, a catastrophe in Tokyo occurred for two consecutive days.First of all, a fire broke out at the hotel New Japan in Nagata -cho, the center of politics, early in the morning of February 8.Furthermore, on February 9, the following day, the Douglas DC-8-61 aircraft of Japan Airlines crashed off Haneda Airport.For me who just came to Tokyo, the catastrophe of every day was unreasonable.
Hotel New Japan Fire
Hotel New Japan is a famous hotel near the Diet and Akasaka Mitsuke, two basement and 10 floors above ground.Due to the good location, politicians and celebrities often used it.Aichiro Fujiyama, a businessman and politician, started construction as a luxury apartment, but during construction, 2/3 was changed to a hotel and opened as a hotel in 1960.
It seems that the fire broke out at 3:24 due to the absurd of the drunken of the British who was drunk with the sake that was staying on the 9th floor of the hotel.There was a failure to extinguish the fire and a delay in reporting, and the first report was that passers -by reported to the firefighting 15 minutes after the fire.Despite the fire -extinguishing activities of the Tokyo Fire Department, it took about 9 hours to extinguish the fire.According to the material, there were 442 guests, and 60 % of the about 100 people who stayed on the 9th floor of the fireworks were overseas tourists.The fire in the fire was 33, mainly on the high floor, and 34 were injured.Two -thirds of the dead were foreigners, and there were 13 people who jumped off the window and died.
Fire and fire extinguishing facilities and delays in initial response
Hotel New Japan did not have firefighting facilities such as sprinkler facilities in the event of a fire.Originally, the Fire Service Law was amended in 1974 as a lesson in 1972, which occurred in 1972, which occurred in 1972, and the installation of sprinklers must be retroactively applied.Despite pointing out, he neglected to respond.Fire parcels were inadequate, combustible materials, and fire extinguishing equipment was also being disguised, and it seems that fire alarms and smoke sensations were also abandoned.The poorness of the initial response has worsened the situation, such as lack of education and shortage of employees, inappropriate initial fire extinguishing activities, evacuation guidance, and delays in reporting to fire departments.
In the background, there seems to be a management policy that neglected safety.On November 25, 1993, the Supreme Court was sentenced to three years in prison for business negligence on November 25, 1993, to President Hideki Yokoi, a hotel owner.After the fire, the hotel was closed, but the building in a prime location in the city center was left unattended and was dismantled 14 years later in 1996.In 2002, a 38 -story skyscraper was built on the site.
In response to the large -scale fire, the Tokyo Fire Department has rescued 63 people who were late, responding to all agencies, which were conducted by the Fire Fire Democratic Governor, who conducted the leadership.The Tokyo Fire and Disaster Management Agency also crashed off the coast of Haneda Airport the next morning, causing a 350 Japan Airlines flight, and will respond to large -scale disasters every day.
Nikko Haneda crash accident
At 8:44 am on February 9, the day after the hotel New Japan Fire, a Douglas DC-8-61 type aircraft from Fukuoka Airport and Tokyo International Airport 350 flights crashed off Haneda Airport.174 crew passengers were on board, 24 passengers were killed, and 149 were injured.
Immediately before landing, the captain pushed the control stick and caused a reverse injection to crash in Tokyo Bay in front of the runway.The front of the aircraft was severely damaged, but the tail was not damaged, so the dead were limited to passengers in front of the aircraft.The captain was abnormally piloted on the day before the accident, but it was not reported by the company.
According to an accident survey, it was recognized that the captain's body and body were significantly modulated just before the crash.The captain was inappropriate in 1980, and was later diagnosed with depression or psychosomatic diseases in psychiatry, and was out of the work of the captain, but in April 1981.He became a priest and returned to the captain in November.The crash occurred three months later.
Trial judgment and mental illness
The captain was arrested for negligence in business, but was judged to have been in a state of dying in a spiritual appraisal and was not charged.He has been hospitalized, and has since been dismissed from Japan.Japan Airlines was severely criticized for having a captain with mental illness.In the wake of this accident, the word psychosomatic was taken up by the media.I myself also noticed the number of people living in a social life while suffering from mental illness.In the lesson, the aviation industry was established in Haneda Airport in Haneda Airport in 1984 to conduct the pilot's daily health management and air physical tests.
In the 10 years before, large -scale fires and accidents, such as the 1972 thousand department store fire, Hokuriku tunnel fire accident, 1979 Nipponzaka Tunnel Fire accident, 1980 underground shopping mall explosion, and Kawai Prince Hotel Fire.Continued.It was a daily catastrophe that occurred in the era of social safety issues created in a high growth period.It was also the time when economic growth slowed down and social stress began to increase.Following the lessons of these accidents, the mechanism of Japanese safety measures has been developed.
There is a tendency in modern society to respect profits and efficiency and neglect safety.If the value engineering goes too much, there is a concern that the safety will be reduced.Recently, the number of mentally driven people is trying to die from others and try to die.Even in a society where you can't afford it, I would like to take care of the "heart" that does not forget safety and compassion for others.
