The cause of the crash was traced to Captain Seiji Katagiri's (片桐 清二"Katagiri Seiji") reversal of the DC-8's inboard engines, engines 2 & 3, in flight, in order to destroy the aircraft. The First Officer and Flight Engineer worked to restrain him and regain control. Despite their best efforts, the DC-8's descent could not be completely checked, and it touched down in shallow water m to ft|300|precision=-2 short of the runway.

Among the 166 passengers and 8 crew, 24 passengers were killed, with no losses among the crew. The captain was later found to be mentally ill, and had suffered from a psychosomatic illness prior to the incident, which resulted in not guilty by reason of insanity. Following the accident, Katagiri, one of the first people to take a rescue boat, reportedly claimed to rescuers that he was an office worker to avoid detection.cite web
