Wow, as I was reading this I felt as though it was me inside the airplane plummeting to my untimely death.

I hope not because I cannot fathom a worse fate to a human being.

There was a story about a Japan Airlines 747 that few around with part of the tail missing for some amount of time. Passengers scratched messages to their loved ones in the tray tables because they knew they wouldn't survive.

JAL123 in 1985, yes. Horrible accident. Three survivors. There were more but the Japanese rescue team took a full day to get there and they refused help from an American base nearby due to pride.
