"The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn. Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God's purpose may be read. They are among the agencies by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger.—E.G White 1898 Prophets and Kings, 277.
Woow, 🙏🏽
Biggest question is why or how did the plane landing have another plane on it's cleared to land runway? This will go down as Human error. Either the tower cleared the plane to land with another plane lining up, or the Coast Guard aircraft was cleared by ground control to taxi out or to cross the active runway. Or the Cost Guard pilot was on the wrong taxi way and entered the active runway on accident. People die when Humans get some thing simple like being on the wrong taxi way or clearing a plane to cross the main runway when the tower has cleared a plane to land.

Prayers for Japan 😢
That's actually very extremely hard and tough to experience with? The entire world is actually showing their condolences and prayers for the people who lost their lives in Japan. Yesterday there was a deadly earthquake and over a hundred aftershocks in Japan.
ファイナルデスティネーション
Earthquakes… plane collisions, it’s really not a good start of the year for Japan 😕
PRAYING FOR JAPAN❤
I am very ashamed at Joebama Obiden's lack of response to what Japan has been experiencing. We have shown ZERO support, and even worse, we haven't even publicly acknowledged the devastation or offer aid.
This is the news I don't mind hearing god bless all who have passed but absolute amazing rescue efforts 🙌
May the crew rest in peace. They are angels for saving all the passengers❤
Was the pilot having flashbacks to Midway?
God's mercy on us all 💔🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
❤️🩵🙏👀🙅💆👩🦽➡️🧑🦼➡️👩🦯➡️⛹️🤽♀️🤼♀️🚴♀️🏊🛀🛌🫂🤾♂️ fine the code 🫵🥸
Those pilots very well have gone around unsure of the condition of the plane, they saved over 300 people, they are a credit to their airline.
Horrific turn of events on what has already happened
Japan Airlines is the safest besides Singapore Airlines
It's a product of intensive crew training of Japanese airlines and cultural/educational upbringing of Japanese people. In essence, this is the same as disaster/fire evacuation drills held in Japanese kindergartens and elementary school.
White people will still clap after the landing
AllahuAkbar 🙏🏽
2024 just wanted to welcome us!💔
National Geographic.. Air craft investigation. Another case to deal with. Lets know what went wrong
Japan shouldn't have this bad luck my prayers 🙏 are with u
Ngl that star wars plane looks sick
Sincere Condolences to coast guard families who wwre delivering AID to earthquakes.victims WT😢… Air traffic controllers 🤯 the finger of justice is looking in your direction.❤
ঈশ্বর সবাইকে রক্ষা করুন
Something similar happened at LAX years ago where an airliner landed atop a commuter airplane.
Why was a passenger plane given permission to land when the Japan Coast Guard transport plane had not taken off? Or why did a Japan Coast Guard transport plane enter the runway before the passenger plane landed? Did the air traffic controller give appropriate instructions?
Awful for the people who lost their lives and their families. But this is also amazing story of courage, professionalism and survival.
I am in awe of the passengers and crew. I don't think that could happen in many other countries.
God blessed for those survived❤
Horrific! 😱
That would if been horrible being on that flight they have been very lucky people
😢
Calling it a miracle seems disingenuous when the credit goes really to such well trained staff.
Japanese people kept their cool and didnt panic, if this had happened in England everyone would have died
good job saving people, but why was a coast guard plane on a active run way?
I wonder which aircraft entered the main runway without a clearance to do so????
Totally faulty reason for the air traffic controller.
Reminds me of USAir Flight 1493 https://youtu.be/fp9Ql3397do?si=6qGaPV5jlti81jAa
😮
Do they believe in miracle?
One of the reasons that this miracle was possible is JAL(Japan Airlines)’s policy on pets.
JAL does NOT allow pets in passenger cabin. Many airlines ALLOW pets in cabin.
Pet owners would surely try to take their pets with them during evacuation which certainly
would have disrupted and caused critical delays resulting in human casualties.
