| Executive Summary: | At 0635:39 AST on January 13, 1977, Japan Air Lines Co., Ltd., JA 8054 crashed shortly after takeoff from runway 24L at Anchorage International Airport, Anchorage, Alaska. The cargo consisted of live beef cattle for delivery to Japan. The three crewmembers and the two cargohandlers aboard the aircraft died in the crash and the aircraft was destroyed. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was a stall that resulted from the pilot's control inputs aggravated by airframe icing while the pilot was under the influence of alcohol. Contributing to the cause of this accident was the failure of the other flightcrew members to prevent the captain from attempting the flight. |
