The accident that wasn't
Subtitled: Follow TCAS
Old event, timeless lesson:
On Wednesday, January 31, 2001, Japan Airlines Flight 907, using a Boeing 747-446 Domestic bound from Tokyo International Airport to Naha International Airport in Naha, Okinawa, Japan and Japan Airlines Flight 958, using a Douglas DC-10-40D bound from Gimhae International Airport in Busan, South Korea to Narita International Airport in Narita, nearly collided over the Suruga Bay near Yaizu, Shizuoka Prefecture due to human error.

Also on Wikipedia is a comprehensive list off commercial aviation accidents dating back to the 1920's. Well worth the bookmark.

I was in Japan when this happened...follow the TCAS!
Another story that people do not know much about was the 1999 ANA 747 hijack. It was amazing to watch the 747 flying so low over western tokyo area! Apparently the guy wated to land at Yakota and turn it into another Tokyo area civil airport. Really sad about the Captain...he seemed to be a great guy.

And this is the accident that was.
LiveLeak.com - DHL vs Russian passenger plane Collision
2002 Überlingen mid-air collision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) did not take action regarding the near-miss which occurred about a year before the Bashkirian-DHL collision. During the 2001 Japan Airlines mid-air incident, two Japanese airliners, both Japan Airlines, nearly collided with each other in Japanese skies. Disaster was avoided because one of the pilots made evasive manoeuvres based on a visual judgement, and 677 people were saved. If the collision had occurred, it would have been the deadliest civil aviation accident in terms of passenger lives. The aircraft missed each other by less than 100 metres, and the abrupt manoeuvre necessary to avert disaster left about 100 occupants hurt on one aircraft, some seriously. Japanese authorities called for measures that would prevent similar accidents from happening, but ICAO did not further investigate the incident until after the Germany collision. In addition four near misses in Europe occurred before the Germany disaster because one set of pilots obeyed the air traffic controllers while the other obeyed TCAS. The ICAO decided to fulfill Japan's request 18 months after the Japan Airlines incident.
