From the Wikipedia article
The All Nippon Airways Viscount crash (Zen Nikkū Baikaunto-ki tsuiraku jiko) was an aviation accident involving an All Nippon Airways aircraft that occurred on 19 November 1962 (Shōwa 37) in Sanage, Nishikamo District, Aichi Prefecture (now Toyota).
Overview of the accident
The aircraft that crashed was an All Nippon Airways Vickers Viscount 828 (registration JA8202), delivered in July 1961.
On 19 November 1962 it was conducting a pilot training flight from Tokyo International Airport to Nagoya Airport when, over Sanage, Nishikamo District, Aichi Prefecture, at an altitude of 3,500 feet, it entered a spin and crashed into national forest near Kanpachi Gorge (Koshido Dam) in the same town.
The aircraft broke apart on hitting the ground, and the instructors and trainees, 4 people in total, were killed. Although there were houses and schools around the crash site, fortunately there were no deaths or injuries on the ground.
Cause of the accident
The weather at the accident site was good at the time, and as the accident occurred in the daytime, many teachers and pupils at a primary school in Sanage watched the aircraft's flight until it crashed. However, as it was equipped with neither a voice recorder nor a flight recorder, the decisive cause of the accident could not be determined.
