Son of 1985 JAL crash victim releases anime to pass on memory
Ahead of the 40th anniversary of the deadly crash of a Japan Airlines jumbo jet, a victim's son has released an anime to pass on the memory of the tragedy to the next generation. Yamamoto Masayoshi lost his father Kenji in the accident that claimed the lives of 520 people in August of 1985. The father was 49 years old. Yamamoto released the roughly one-minute video on Friday as part of his long-term efforts to pass on the memory of the accident and the lessons learned from it. He made the animated video with the help of generative artificial intelligence. Based on the story he created, it shows a woman, who lost a parent in the accident, telling her two children about the incident. It explains that the plane crashed on a mountain, that it took a long time before rescuers reached the site, and that families continue to climb the mountain to console the souls of the victims. But the bereaved families are getting old and a growing number of young people are not aware of the accident. Yamamoto said he hopes his video will help the younger generation and foreigners know what happened and think about what they can do to prevent a similar tragic accident.
