Sky of Sorrow, Sky of Love

On August 12, 1985, Japan Airlines Flight 123 crashed in Osutaka, Japan, becoming the deadliest single-aircraft accident in history. The crash site has become a gathering place for people who have lost loved ones in other calamities, including the Great East Japan Earthquake. Many of the bereaved families are working to ensure that such tragedies never happen again. They are inspired by Kuniko Miyajima, who lost her 9-year-old son in the Flight 123 crash. She became the head of a relatives' association dedicated to getting the voices of victims' families heard. This program highlights people who, bonded by grief, fight to make sure that their loved ones did not die in vain.
