What happened
On September 17, 1982, Japan Air Lines Flight 792 departed Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport with New Tokyo International Airport as its destination. Shortly after liftoff, the crew reported a malfunction involving the aircraft's hydraulic system. Due to this technical issue, the flight was diverted back to the airport of origin for an emergency landing.
During the approach and subsequent touchdown at Shanghai Hongqiao, the aircraft failed to stop within the designated runway limits. This resulted in a runway excursion where the plane left the paved surface. The incident caused injuries to 39 individuals out of the 124 passengers and crew members on board. No fatalities were reported.
