North Asia correspondent for Australian Broadcasting Corporation, based in Tokyo, covering Japan 🇯🇵+ Koreas 🇰🇷🇰🇵. Previously India 🇮🇳 for Sth Asia. Opinions = my own, not ABC, retweets ≠ endorsements.
In the documentary we look at the Tokyo Firebombing, the Battle for Okinawa, and the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

A failed landing gear is believed to be reason for crash.
The aircraft abandoned its first landing attempt, and the second was a "belly landing" - so no landing gear. Bird strike suspected for fault.
Footage shows it skidding off the runway and exploding.
Fuselage destroyed.
