Dealing with Disaster in Japan: Responses to the Flight JL123 Crash is a 2011 book written by Christopher P. Hood, a lecturer of Japanese studies at Cardiff University,[1] and published by Routledge.

It is about Japan Air Lines Flight 123, and together with its sequel Osutaka: A Chronicle of Loss In the World's Largest Single Plane Crash, are the only English-language books entirely about that accident.

Hood stated that he had an emotional response to the father's testimony, so he decided to research the accident.

[4] Hood wrote the book because much of the information was in Japanese while there was also a lot of interest in the incident from those outside Japan.

[4] The footer of each page has several names of the deceased, so the list is spread across the book.
