Japan Airlines said all passengers and crew members had been safely evacuated as video showed the plane ablaze on the runway.
A Japan Airlines plane erupted in flames on Tuesday as it landed on a runway at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport and collided with a Japan Coast Guard aircraft.
The airline said all 379 passengers and crew members had been safely evacuated.
The coast guard pilot escaped its aircraft but the other five crew members were found dead, Japanese public broadcaster NHK TV said. The plane was due to travel to the guard’s Niigata base to assist with recovery efforts after a series of earthquakes.
A Japan Coast Guard spokesperson confirmed a collision between the passenger plane and its flight MA-722, a Bombardier Dash-8.
Footage from NHK showed the Japan Airlines aircraft ablaze on the runway. Earlier footage posted online showed a burst of flames as the plane landed.
