The outcomes were: JAL 747 flew into a mountain with 520 people dead, 4 surviving. It is suspected that there would have been more survivors if rescuers had shown up sooner. The United DC-10 had over 100 dead and less than 200 surviving. The whole flightdeck crew among the survivors.
I believe the rescuers showed up soon enough, but they were not Japanese (American, I think). So, in order for the Japanese not to lose face, they were ordered to leave the scene.

That's all right, then. Must get the priorities right.
