A passenger plane and a Japanese coast guard aircraft have collided on the runway at Tokyo’s Haneda airport and burst into flames. TV footage showed a large burst of fire erupt from the side of the Japan Airlines plane as it taxied after landing. The area around the wing then caught fire.
Japan Airlines said all 367 passengers and 12 crew members had evacuated the jet. Five crew members in a Coast Guard plane that reportedly collided with the jet were unaccounted for.
All 367 passengers plus 12 crew onboard were swiftly taken off the plane before dozens of fire engines sprayed the fuselage. They failed to put out the flames coming out of windows and the blaze soon engulfed the entire aircraft.
