All 379 passengers and crew of a Japan Airlines plane escaped a devastating fire that erupted after it collided with a smaller Coast Guard aircraft at Tokyo's Haneda airport this morning.
However, five out of the six crew of the coast guard aircraft are unaccounted for, while the captain escaped, a Coast Guard spokesperson said.
Live footage on public broadcaster NHK showed the Japan Airlines Airbus A350 aircraft bursting into flames as it skidded down the tarmac after landing.
It was later overwhelmed by the blaze despite efforts by rescue crews to control the fire.
Miraculously, all 367 passengers and 12 crew were evacuated.
