Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox aircraft occurrence
The Шаблон:Nihongo occurred on 27 September 1977, in Yokohama, Japan. In the crash, a United States Marine Corps RF-4B-41-MC, BuNo 157344,[1] c/n 3717,[2] 'RF611', of VMFP-3, a (reconnaissance variant of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II) flown by a United States Marine Corps crew based at nearby Naval Air Facility Atsugi, en route to USS Midway in Sagami Bay, suffered a mechanical malfunction, the port engine caught fire, and crashed into a residential neighborhood. The crash killed two boys, ages 1 and 3, and injured seven others, several seriously. The two-man crew of the aircraft, Capt. J. E. Miller, of Mendota, Illinois, and 1st Lt. D. R. Durbin, of Natchitoches, Louisiana, ejected and were not seriously injured.[3]
The crash, which occurred near present-day Eda Station, destroyed several houses. The two young boys initially survived the crash into their home, but died later from severe burns. The boys' mother, Kazue Doshida, was also severely burned. Due to the fear that she would be adversely affected during her recovery by the shock, she was not told until 29 January 1979, that her sons had died. Upon hearing of their deaths, Doshida responded that she wanted to hold them one more time. Doshida died in 1982, aged 31, from complications related to her injuries.
Papa, Mama, bye-bye
In the vicinity of the crash site, nine civilians were injured by the fire and were transported to the hospital by car one after another.
At this time, both the eldest son and the second son repeatedly appealed for water, but the doctor did not give permission. The eldest son muttered, "Papa, Mama, bye-bye," and this was the last word.
The second son sang "poppopo" at the beginning of his favorite song about pigeon, and then died.
The brother's mother, a 26-year-old woman, also suffered burns all over her body and was in and out of the hospital for a long period of time while undergoing 70 skin graft surgeries. As for the skin to be transplanted, the amount provided by her husband and father was sorely lacking, so when a newspaper recruited donors, about 1,500 people applied, and 42 people actually received skin transplants.
Although she temporarily recovered physically enough to undergo rehabilitation, the mental damage was immeasurable. She was eventually transferred to a psychiatric hospital. However, her family claims her transfer was "semi-coercive."
She died of psychogenic respiratory distress on January 26, 1982, four years and four months after the accident. She was working hard to rehabilitate herself with the desire to see her child, and was not told that her two children had died the day after the accident.
Memorial
In memorial to Doshida, a statue was erected in 1985 in a Yokohama park. The statue depicts her holding her two sons.[4]
