Ett ANA plan med 117 passagerare ombord fick en spännande flygning när styrman misstog spaken för rodertrim med dörröppning till cockpit. Fullt utslag på en gång innebar att planet rollade nästan helt och flög upp-och-ner samtidigt som det tappade 1900 höjdmeter innan piloterna fick ordning på flygningen.

The safety board's head, Norihiro Goto, told a news conference that data on the Boeing 737-700's digital flight recorder showed that in the incident which occurred at 10:50 p.m. Sept. 6, the twin-engine jet rolled to the left and descended after slightly rolling to the right when a copilot mistakenly operated the rudder trim knob in the cockpit.
The narrow-body aircraft continued to roll until it reached 131.7 degrees to the left, leaving it almost belly-up, according to the board. Its nose pointed down as much as 35 degrees at one point.
