In a devastating incident at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, a Japan Airlines plane collided with a Japan Coast Guard earthquake relief aircraft, erupting into flames and resulting in the deaths of five individuals.
The Airbus A350-900, arriving from Sapporo, caught fire upon landing, prompting a swift evacuation of all 379 passengers and crew on board. While everyone on the JAL flight was safely evacuated, the Coast Guard aircraft's five crew members faced fatal consequences. Japan Airlines is participating in the investigation, asserting that their crew received clearance to land from air traffic control.
The French aviation agency is also sending investigators to contribute to the ongoing inquiry. The tragic collision has raised questions about aviation safety and its implications for future air travel.
