A Japan Airlines aircraft caught fire at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport after colliding with a Japan Coast Guard plane. A Japan Airlines official said all passengers and crew escaped from the aircraft.
Japan Airlines said the plane is Flight 516 from New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido to Haneda.
A Japan Airlines official said 367 passengers, including eight children and 12 crew members, evacuated from the aircraft.
Japan Coast Guard officials said the plane, which collided with the Japan Airlines aircraft, was an MA722 which belongs to Haneda Airport. They said six crew members were on the plane, adding that the captain evacuated from it, but five other crew members are not accounted for.
They said the plane was taxiing on the runway to transport materials to Niigata Prefecture, which was hit by a massive earthquake on Monday.
