Here the rest of the story I post on christian chat forum Five people on board a coast guard aircraft died after a collision with a Japan Airlines plane at Haneda airport in Tokyo, Japan's capital, on Tuesday, the Japanese transport minister said. Footage aired on public broadcaster NHK showed the Japan Airlines Airbus A-350 burst into flames on the runway. An official from the carrier said the plane, flight 516, had just traveled from Shin Chitose airport in Hokkaido to Haneda. Japan Airlines said all 367 passengers and 12 crew on board the burning aircraft were evacuated. NHK reported that at least 17 people evacuated from the passenger plane were injured. Meanwhile, Japanese Transport Minister Tetsuo Saito said five of the crewmembers on the coast guard aircraft had died. The pilot, one of six on board, escaped with serious injuries, he added. What do we know about the cause of the fire? www.dw.com/en/japan-5-dead-in-plane-collision-at-tokyos-haneda-airport/a-67873896

You knew there going be investigation right Japanese transport officials and police on Wednesday began separate investigations into the fiery collision between a passenger plane and a coast guard aircraft at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. All 379 passengers and crew members aboard the Japan Airlines passenger jet escaped the aircraft within 20 minutes of the crash, while five crew members aboard the coast guard plane died. Only the coast guard pilot was able to escape, but reportedly suffered severe injuries. The rare collision caused a massive fireball on the runway, with the local fire department deploying at least 70 firetrucks and other vehicles to tackle the blaze, public broadcaster NHK reported.
