On Tuesday, a Japan Airlines plane, carrying more than 300 passengers, had a fire incident while landing at a Tokyo airport. It happened because the plane might have collided with a Coast Guard aircraft, as reported by the local media. The plane was spotted with flames bursting through its windows on the runway of Haneda International Airport, just before 6 p.m. local time. Everyone on board, all 379 passengers, were safely evacuated after the crash.
The Coast Guard aircraft was on its way to Niigata Airport to provide help for a recent earthquake in Japan when the collision occurred. Unfortunately, five out of six Coast Guardsmen who were on the aircraft during the crash are currently unaccounted for, as mentioned in local broadcasts.
The specific flight involved was Japan Airlines’ JL516, which took off from New Chitose Airport in Sapporo about 90 minutes before the incident. The situation is still unfolding, and updates on this developing story will be provided as more information becomes available.
