Hirotsugu Kawaguchi
Background: Hirotsugu Kawaguchi, a 52 year old Japanese father of three, wrote several notes to his children aboard a Japan Air Lines flight 123, a few moments before his Boeing 747 crashed, killing 520 people last Aug. The notes were addressed to his son, Tsuyoshi, 21 years old and his two daughters Chiyoko, 17 and Mariko, 24 years old.
Last Words before Death:
"Be good to each other and work hard, Help your mother.
I'm very sad but I"m sure I won't make it.
Its been 5 minutes now.
I don't want to take anymore planes.
To think that our dinner last night was the last time.
There was smoke that seemed to come from an explosion in the cabin and we began making a descent.
Tsuyoshi I am counting on you.
Mother-- to think something like this would happen.
Its too bad. Goodbye
Its 6:30 now
The plane is rolling around and descending rapidly.
I am grateful for the truly happy life I have enjoyed until now."
PLEASE LORD HELP ME!"
