welcome back, everybody. it could be a while before you or alex baldwin are allowed to play words with friends in the sky. the faa says it will consider letting passenger use ipads and iphones during flights. it is forming a committee to study this issue. the recommendation won t come until march, a couple months. now airlines banned the use of electronic devices until the plane reeves 10,000 feet. and it is highly annoying. if baldwin is watching now. he is smiling. all right. examples of bad fan behavior are endless from a san francisco giants fan nearly beaten to death after a game to the iconic image of the philadelphia eagles fans pelting santa with a snowball. do you remember that one? in southern california, a set of rules aimed to keep fans in line, a ten-point code of
last 10,000 takeoff/landing cycles. by the day of the crash this aircraft has gone more than 12,000 cycles. the repair is inspected but because of a seal used cracks are not found. this plane is a ticking time bomb. unfortunately, the repair was insufficient and cracks started to develop over the service life after the airplane was returned into passenger use. there was no proper inspection procedure as well. as jal 123 passes through 24,000 feet cracks begin to connect between the rivets leaving the bulkhead to fail catastrophically. it is due not to bad design but to faulty repair and inadequate oversight. when we look back at
cycles. by the date of the crash, this particular 747 has already gone more than 12,000 cycles. the repair is inspected but because of a sealant has been used over the gap in the bulkhead, cracks developing between the rivets are not found. this plane is a ticking time bomb. unfortunately the repair was insufficient and cracks started to develop over the service life after the airplane was returned into passenger use. there was no proper inspection procedure as well. reporter: as jal 123 passes through 24,000 foot, cracks begin to connect between the rift leading the bulkhead to fail cat strofcally. it is a structural failure due not to bad airplane design but to a faulty repair and inadequate oversight. when we look back at structural failures how common is it that it is repair related
to develop over the service life after the airplane was returned into passenger use. there was no proper inspection procedure, as well. as jal 123 passes through 24,000 feet, cracks begin to connect between the rivets, leading the bulkhead to fail catastrophically. it s a structural failure due not to bad airplane design but to a faulty repair and inadequate oversight. when we look back at structural failures, how common is it that it s repair or maintenance related? it pains me to say this, but it s more and more we re finding repair related. there were at least two suicides in the wake of this incident. a japan airlines employee, who was working with victim s families, and an inspection engineer, who issued a certificate of airworthiness for
