...plunged into a slope of 5,400-ft.-high Mount Osutaka, a pine-covered granite peak. Weighing more than 350 tons, the plane buried much of its fuselage in a steeply angled ridge at an altitude of 4,700 ft. Flames spurted into the sky as the impact ignited fuel tanks; even the metal scraps burned fiercely as the 747 sliced through the trees...
...characterized by the use of fresh native products and seemingly disparate ethnic ingredients and influences in a single dish.
