Take you to some live pictures uh in Tokyo where a fire has broken out uh on a plane on the runway at Tokyo hereda Airport you can see Flames coming out of the windows of an aircraft and of course this comes as uh Japan recovers from that earthquake uh the scale of

Destruction caused by an earthquake in central Japan has become clearer but we don’t know yet what’s caused the the fire this case at the runway um looks quite serious just watching that and we know in the meantime that there are hundreds of buildings in Japan that have been

Damaged and many of the port of of wajima and they were destroyed by Monday’s earthquake or in subsequent fires we know that there have been a number of aftershocks as emergency workers have been searching for people who have feared trapped under the rubble as I say we don’t know yet whether the

Uh fire at the airport is in any way connected to any further aftershocks well the Japanese prime minister fumio kishida has ordered Army Personnel to help with the relief effort just looking at this it seems as though they are trying to get that fire under control at the

Airport and we’ve got some information that’s just come into us at Japan Airlines is the flight and apparently it collided with a coast guard plane and that was the cause of the fire uh looks quite serious at the moment not clear at the stage whether there was anybody on board the

Plane uh and that’s flight 516 from Shin sh sho airport in Hokkaido uh to Tokyo we don’t know if people were off the plane by the time it had that collision with the Coast Guard airplane and we’re just waiting for more information to come in

From uh the area but that fire is in haneda airport in Tokyo and that’s just happening right now so as I say flight 516 from Shin shito airport in Hokkaido and so it’s on the runway and the emergency services are clearly dealing with it and we were told then that it was a

Collision with a Coast Guard Plane Japan Airlines plane there on fire at the airport so we continue to cover this story for you as and when we get more information coming in

A Japan Airlines plane was in flames as it landed on a runway at Tokyo’s Haneda airport on Tuesday evening.

Footage on broadcaster NHK showed flames coming out of the windows of the aircraft and beneath it. The runway was also set alight.

  1. ขอส่งความปรารถนาดีและความห่วงใย ให้ญี่ปุ่นผ่านพ้นเรื่องเลวร้ายโดยเร็ว จากคนไทยครับ

  2. First, a natural disaster like an earthquake, and now, a non-terrorist accidental incident happening day after day.
    2024 is off to an unlucky start for my country.

  3. Japan is not having a good day. That has to be the unluckiest region of the world. Hope there are no bad things waiting to happen. Hope Japan can make it through these dark times.

  4. JAL-516 ALL SAFE. 
    根據東京消防廳的說法,這架日航班機與日本海上保安廳的飛機發生相撞,目前消防單位已經展開滅火行動,機上乘客全員安全逃離。

  5. 衝突した軍機は昨日発生した地震の被災地に物資輸送中だったのことです。軍機には6人乗ってましたが5人安否不明です。

  6. Pray for Japan.
