After two planes collided at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, helpers began clearing the wreckage. The first debris from the Japan Airlines (JAL) Airbus was cleared on Friday, the airline said. A spokeswoman for the Japanese Coast Guard said the recovery of their plane’s wreckage began on Thursday and continued on Friday.
The JAL airliner collided with the Coast Guard aircraft after landing in Tokyo on Tuesday and burned out. All 379 occupants of the passenger plane were able to save themselves using emergency slides.
The cause of the accident remains unclear
However, five crew members on board the coast guard aircraft were killed; only the pilot survived, seriously injured. The plane was supposed to take off for a mission in the earthquake region in the center of the country when the accident occurred.
The cause of the collision was still unclear on Friday. Emergency services are currently investigating the videos and the recorded radio contact with the support of specialists from France, Great Britain and Canada. (APA)
