Plane explodes in flames while landing at Tokyo airport

A Japan Airlines plane caught fire while landing at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport shortly before 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday.

The airline said all 367 passengers and 12 crew members had evacuated the plane, which collided with a Japanese coast guard plane, public broadcaster NHK said. One member of the crew of the fixed-wing Coast Guard aircraft evacuated that plane, but another five are missing, the broadcaster reported.

Footage from NHK showed the Japan Airlines plane on fire as it flew over a runway. The broadcaster reported that the plane, Flight 516, had taken off from New Chitose Airport in northern Hokkaido Prefecture and was scheduled to land in Haneda at 5:40 p.m.

Live footage after 6 p.m. showed firefighters trying to control flames pouring from the fuselage on the left side of the plane, as well as from the top of the plane.
