A Japan Airlines plane caught fire on Tuesday on a runway at Tokyo-Haneda International Airport, according to images from Japanese public television. Some media reported a possible collision with another device.
The 367 passengers of the airliner were evacuated according to public television channel NHK.
In the images taken at 5:47 p.m. local time (9:47 a.m. in Switzerland), we might see this plane taxiing on the tarmac before an explosion was triggered and left a trail of flames behind the aircraft, which came to rest further away.
According to several local media, it was the airliner JAL 5016 coming from Sapporo (northern Japan), an Airbus A350-900, which hit a Japanese coast guard plane.
Tokyo-Haneda is one of the Japanese capital’s two international airports and one of the busiest in the world.
