The recent incident at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport

The incident at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport involved a collision between a Japan Airlines Airbus A350 and a Japanese coastguard plane. The coastguard plane was on a mission to deliver aid after a recent earthquake in central Japan. Tragically, all five crew members on the coastguard plane lost their lives. However, all 379 passengers and crew on the Japan Airlines flight managed to evacuate safely before the aircraft became engulfed in flames.

The Airbus company has confirmed its experts will assist in the investigation. The Japan Airlines flight suffered a fiery landing, and dramatic footage shows passengers evacuating via inflatable slides. Reports indicate that at least 17 people suffered minor injuries during the evacuation. The airport’s runways were temporarily closed, disrupting travel plans for thousands of passengers. Efforts to extinguish the fire continued for several hours. Authorities are working to assess the damage and investigate the circumstances leading to the collision.
