The aircraft was clipped by another Japanese coast guard aircraft on the runway.
Edit: All 400 passengers have evacuated the plane.
Edit2: The coastguard plane it clipped was carrying goods to fly to Niigata for earthquake relief.
Edit3: The news said at the time the plane was headed to support the Ishikawa earthquake, so I mistakingly wrote Ishikawa. It was headed to Niigata. The mistake had been amended. Cheers
Edit4: 5 of the 6 coast guard crew are confirmed to be dead.
This news doesn’t look good, can see the fire has breach the inside the cabin of the plane
Whats going on in Japan
As detail,
Japan Air Line flight JL516 which took off from New Chitose Airport of Hokkaido at 4pm, arrived at Tokyo and collided with a plane of Japan Coast Guard and burst into flames.
Airbus A350
Footage on broadcaster NHK showed flames coming out of the windows of the aircraft and beneath it. The runway was also set alight.
NHK, citing authorities, said the plane may have collided with another aircraft after landing at Haneda. There are passengers on board.
It also reported that the plane, JAL 516, had taken off from Hokkaido.
Update 1:
**Five unaccounted for on coastguard plane**
>A few moments ago, we reported that officials thought the plane on fire on Tokyo’s runway could have collided with a Japanese coastguard plane.
>
>Now, Japanese broadcasters TBS and NHK say one person onboard the coastguard plane escaped, while the other five remain unaccounted for.
News was reporting at the time that they evacuated and it was a coastguard vehicle that they hit but details may change etc…
Fortunately everyone evacuated safely
> That’s great
> It starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes
> An aeroplane
> Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Did we miss the birds and snakes part?
How did all get out as reported .
Pretty bad coordination
It is relieving to hear that everyone’s been evacuated safe and sound and hopefully there was not any AVIH in cargo compartment and now I wonder was it the procedure in terms of events like these?
I am sure there are procedures in place but out of curiosity if anyone knows, what happens to the poor animals in cargo compartments?
Looks like the front’s fallen off.
Japan in a simulation rn
Wow. Terrible.
My boi Japan speed running its disaster quota for 2024.
Good thing is that…passengers are safely evacuated from plane.
Incredible if, as reported, everyone got out alive. I’ve seen a few clips and that thing was an inferno.
RIP to all the brave coastguard guys if it is the worst outcome . Hopefully someone can be rescued .
Must be a crazy evacuation is there a video of that?
20:23 JST. NHK now quoting the coast guard that five are confirmed dead and one seriously injured.
It really has not been a good week for Japan, has it?
When did the collision happen? Was it at the exact moment the JAL flight landed?
Hasn’t been Japans year so far.
Testament to the incredible safety of modern airliners and training of crew. I worked as a flight ops supervisor and JAL was the only airline to my knowledge at my base in MEL that had such a comprehensive training for all ground crew, requiring special trainers and equipment. Some were even flown to Japan for a comprehensive training and safety program.
Hope the unaccounted crew on the other aircraft can be identified soon.
Japan is straight up not having a good time in 2024

Lots of bad luck going on lately.

Here’s the clip of it landing on fire. Looks like everyone survived.
2024 is a fuck you in particular to Japan.
Japan can’t catch a break this year so far.
I clipped the video of it landing and hitting it from NHK here –

The fire is currently out but fire crews are still dumping water on it
Japan having the worst January so far
I was flying to Haneda and they rerouted to Osaka. Now I’m just in the baggage area, but nobody told me where to go next.
why do none of the headlines mention the collision?
