  1. The runway was in multi mode (being used for take off and landing) at the time. It's speculation but it's highly likely the unusual situation lead to the coast guard plane using a runway for take off that had airliner arrivals on it. Most likely miscommunication between ATC and the coast guard plane. Were either told incorrectly or were told to hold short and didn't. (Edit: the coast guard plane was communicating with the tower on a different frequency and not, it is understood, the frequency for that runway/ area of the airport)

  2. Passé : Merci au pilote, Merci aux PNC, Bravo à la discipline des passagers…..Comment 70 camions de pompiers (semble-t-il) ont ils pu laisser un avion bruler à ce point sur le tarmak du plus grand aéoroport du Japon ????????????

  3. It's troubling they weren't able to extinguish the fire for hours even with additional fighting equipment.
    Looks like we need to research and develop new equipment to deal with these carbon fibre planes – if the crash had been only slightly worse and there were injured people on board then there would've been no way to save them.

  4. The flight attendants' ability to calmly and accurately instruct passengers in an urgent situation and the discipline of the passengers who calmly followed their instructions are the reason why not a single person was killed. This is truly commendable. I'm proud to be a Japanese. I would also like to express my condolences to the Coast Guard officers who lost their lives in this accident. They had a mission to bring relief supplies to the areas hit by the earthquake as soon as possible

  5. made me remember miserly SQ flight at Chinese taiwan taoyuan airport that crashed with the construction equipment in year 1999 or something near to that year.

  6. 🌟🙄😄🙄😄🙄😄😄🎷🌟🎷🌟
    81% of Americans supported Israel but did not support Hamas hostage deal as too many Hamas terrorists would be released and go back to terrorism. 75% supported President Trump and wanted him to be next President although Americans supported funding for Israel but did NOT support more money for Ukraine and thought EU should pay for the cost of war in Ukraine..Gallop polling..22 Dec 23..😍😍😍📺📺

  7. No permission for the Japan Coast Guard aircraft to enter. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism has disclosed the communication records🙏🙏

  8. Hamas is Marxist. Catholic.

    22 And it came to pass that they did have their signs, yea, their secret signs, and their secret words; and this that they might distinguish a brother who had entered into the covenant, that whatsoever wickedness his brother should do he should not be injured by his brother, nor by those who did belong to his band, who had taken this covenant.

    23 And thus they might murder, and plunder, and steal, and commit whoredoms and all manner of wickedness, contrary to the laws of their country and also the laws of their God.

    24 And whosoever of those who belonged to their band should reveal unto the world of their wickedness and their abominations, should be tried, not according to the laws of their country, but according to the laws of their wickedness, which had been given by Gadianton and Kishkumen.

  9. So the other plane was a coast guard plane loaded with aid supplies 🧐 but when it was first announced it was the fact all passengers survived that was the big story, other news didn’t even mention the other plane!! Nothing to see here folks. Just another big story to focus your attention away from the man behind the curtain!!
