Safety history

During the takeoff run, the pilot-in-command encountered an unexpected situation and decided to make an emergency braking procedure. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the heavy bomber overran and came to rest in flames. All eleven crew members were able to evacuate the cabin and were uninjured. Unfortunately, ten rescuers (3 Americans and 7 Japaneses) were killed when the aircraft was destroyed by the explosions of several bombs stored on board. Crew: 1st Lt Robert B. Almack, Cpt Joh
