All runways have been closed at Tokyo’s Haneda airport, after a Japan Airlines plane caught fire. The Airbus A350 had collided with a Japanese coast guard aircraft, reportedly on its way to deliver aid to quake-hit areas in central Japan. NHK said five coast guard members have been confirmed dead. More than 70 fire engines were deployed to put out the blaze. All 396 passengers and crew on board flight JL516 survived. One traveller CNA spoke to said the situation at Haneda is calm, even as hundreds of passengers were left stranded due to the flight delays.

I wonder how fast the average American flight could evacuate these days, when there would be people of size, blocking the aisles. That should be a real concern for anyone flying.
The Aircraft Actually has 8 Exits. The Aircraft type is an Airbus A350-900.
One wonders how the Sinophobic bots and trolls are going to blame this on China. No doubt they will find a way.
日本人です。新年早々悲しいニュースを世界中に届けてしまうことになり本当に申し訳ございません。
昨日の地震や今回の航空機事故といい、日本には不運が続いておりますが必ず復興復旧します。前向きに生きていく我々日本をどうかどうか応援してください。ありがとうございます。
The guest is a bit out of touch by repeatedly claiming excellency.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙏 for everyone 💞
Stay strong Japan, you will come back stronger than ever. Turkiye is ready to support you we are brothers 🙏🏼🇹🇷🇯🇵
What happened to Japan whom has been reknowned for accurate timing of trains to the very second.
Must be a bad dragon year
Stay safe
runway incursion by Coast Guard plane, crew paid the ultimate price. ATC, is this your issue? Was there a language issue??i have a suspicion that the English requirements were not met by the CG crew.
I think it's only possible because majority of the passengers are probably Japanese, they take evacuation instruction seriously. I had seen a flight evacuation video of a different airline where passengers were busy taking hand luggage out, luckily the plane was not so seriously damaged so everyone got out.
Only in japan can there be so many survivors. They follow unwritten cultural norms as the law.
All the good luck for a successful news station
Of course Japan and Japanese air port control are the first leader by jal co. It is the first all over the world ……every thing every second is under human been control thanks for what they believe of
Sending hugs and love to Japan.
From this elder, with 40 years of dealing with disasters. = PLEASE remember the UNSEEN HEROS = The tower controllers dealing with many in the sky holding with fuel running out!
34r is shut down and lots of flights out of Haneda cancelled. The other runways have been reopened tho and a small number of planes are getting out at the moment.
What’s going on in Japan country? It’s a sign which is not really good.
How shallow and sick this report- he is so delayed is his concern while 5 people burned to death
Seems like Japan has got out from the wrong side of the bed this year.
Wow a month vacation in Japan. Damn rich dude. I wonder why company still need him if they can work without him. I think it doesn’t matter even if he stuck there for one more year.
Japanese are raised better and their schools ran better than the US, people in the US would be so rude, angry and panicked if this happened here-
I got back from Japan in september and had my doubts whether an earthquake would occur but never would have thought that it'd happen only 3 months after leaving.
What’s James Franco doing over there?
The CREW are to thank for this miracle. Well trained and kept their cool even in an event like this. Well done flight attendants!!
not sure it time to install any innovative "underfloor HD cameras" along runways for air controllers to allow them or AI systems to see/flag any risks at any locations and at any time since it is hard to have lamppoles on roadways.
RIP to all the crew members who passed away due to plane crash
The universe works in Mysterious ways. Stopping all flights, there is a huge bunch of sun flares coming in. Stay on the ground. ❤
Month long vacation??? Rich and highly skilled people can take a month long vacations.
so sad
Di Jepang suasana tetap tenang meski banyak pesawat delay dan tidak ada penerbanagn..
There were 8 babies in the JAL.
Aircraft are so strong engineering excellence what a miracle how those passengers and crew survived
Stay strong japan big ❤ from London 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
World should learn from Japan .. if it was US or Europe people would be COMPLAINING …
😆

I guess Majority of the passengers are Japanese who take safety instructions very seriously. Japan is rather unfortunate in the first day of New Year. Trouble after Trouble.
Stay Strong, Japan
