Family of pilot killed during hijack sue Japanese government.

Publication: Airline Industry Information
Date: Friday, July 19 2002

The family of a pilot who was killed by a hijacker during an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight is suing the Japanese government for failing to prevent his death.

On 23 July 1999, Naoyuki Nagashima was piloting

an ANA flight, with 517 people on board, when he was attacked by Yuji Nishizawa who attempted to commandeer the aircraft and fly it under a bridge. The two men struggled and Nagashima sustained fatal stab wounds to the neck and wrist.

Nishizawa managed to seize control of the aircraft and was reportedly preparing to land before being overpowered. The co-pilot flew the aircraft back to Tokyo's Haneda airport, without further incident.

The lawsuit, which seeks JPY280m in compensation, claims that authorities failed to improve security at the airport despite being warned in advance of lapses. The suit is also expected to name ANA, the company which operates the Haneda terminal building, Nishizawa and his parents.

Nishizawa is currently on trial for Nagashima's murder and the hijacking, and also faces a lawsuit filed by ANA, reported Reuters.
