Japan Air Lines Food Poisoning

In 1975, passengers aboard an aircraft operated by Japan Air Lines were served an on-board lunch that was infected with germs. One flight attendant and 195 passengers became ill as a result. About 144 of them needed to be hospitalized, and 30 of them were considered critical. The manager of JAL's catering service took his own life after the events, and he was the only fatal victim related to this incident.
