Japan’s prime minister Fumio Kishida has offered his condolences after five people died in a plane disaster.

A passenger plane and a Japanese coast guard aircraft collided on the runway at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Tuesday 2 January and burst into flames, killing five people on the smaller plane.

“These people who have died all carried out their jobs with a strong sense of duty and responsibility for the disaster-stricken areas and victims,” Mr Kishida said.

“This is a very unfortunate incident, and I would like to offer my sincere condolences while expressing my respect and gratitude for their sense of duty.”

  1. The Japanese always have so much sorrow as seen from the President. The Japanese continually apologise for WW2 also aligning with the Western Culture. It really shows the true passion and colours of Japan in a social whole.

  9. A😢 retired😢 General Dynamics director, previously worked in San Diego, probably more than 85 yrs old now, is exploiting illegally US monitoring satellite to harass normal US civilians, inside USA & all over the world for his own entertainment & amusement.

    These remote sensors of the monitoring satellites are capable of interpreting the words you're thinking in your mind, may be, by air vibration or by scanning the brainwaves from your brain.

    The Israeli IDF are using similar satellite technologies to spy on the Hamas leadership hiding deep inside the Gaza Tunnels. IDF once released footage of these videos in much degraded resolution.

    This retired General Dynamics director could have been the mastermind behind the plane crash killing the Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown of the Clinton Administration, in the plane crash in 1996 in Croatia.

  12. The blame is on the coast guard and the air tower for allowing a plane which couldn't be seen by other planes on the map, why that plane wasn't fit with modern tools is beyond me and this wouldn't of happened if the planes in the sky could see the coast guard plane.

  20. Instead of apologising how about you hold your air traffic controllers accountable who allowed two planes to be on the same piece of tarmac. Incompetence or criminal?

  27. Commiserate with you sir, Prime Minister and the people of Japan. Thank the firefighters and rescuers hoping and trusting that adequate support system is provided and lost souls rest in peace. Amen.❤🙏 Pray that the incidents never recur. Amen
