		Nishizawa, who later said he did it because he "wanted to soar through the air", ordered the co-pilot from the Boeing 747's cockpit and then told the pilot, Naoyuki Nagashima, 51, a father of two, to fly to the American air base at Yokota, to the west of Tokyo.
		Nishizawa, who had received treatment for depression and previously attempted suicide, took over manual control of the plane, causing panic among the 503 passengers and 14 crew members when the airliner suddenly lost height.
