All 4 crew members killed in SDF plane crash in Hokkaido

Feared hearing this since yesterday. May their families be able to find peace.

Looking looking at that wreckage, I'm not betting there are any survivors, sad to say

Have to agree with the above posters.  That wreck doesn't look like it has survivors.  Deepest condolences to their families.  May they get through this difficult time.

So sad for these people and their Families

Doing help for others in an emergency.

" NOTAMS " & Airport Info is made for a reason...sounds like they shouldn't have been up in the FIRST place; but being Military, they flew anyway. RIP dudes.

You guys served your country well. It is sad it ended this way. Deepest condolences to the family.

I don't know why this happens so often.

Japan's pilots need serious training in mountainous IFR operations. If they were preparing to make an IFR landing there is absolutely no reason this aircraft should have crashed, IFR approaches are strictly charted down to exact speeds and times, plus all modern aircraft have GPS onboard in some form or another.

This aircraft probably also had GPWS which means they either disabled it or ignored it. Never ignore GPWS if you can't see what's in front of you.

There is an old American Airlines video on youtube that has a short course on CFIT (controlled flight into terrain). Every aviator with internet access should watch it. Could save your life.

Sad accident.
