Two reports have noted that there was a loose screw in the tail of the airplane and that turbulence from the airplane racing close by added to the collision. Federal regulators that are involved in the investigations have discovered some documents pointing to potential deficiencies in the safety inspection procedures.

It was the winter of 1984 the month of January when I was flown to Japan to start my tour of duty in the Marine Corps. We landed in Tokyo and stayed in a hotel named Bora Bora for the night, due to the long flight. This was my first trip outside of the United States. The next morning we boarded the bullet train called the Shinkansen, which was the fastest train in the world at that time, and headed to a city called Hiroshima. Approximately 39 years earlier, the USA dropped a nuclear weapon (“Little Boy”) on this city killing nearly 90,000 people.
