Japan Airlines plane in flames at Tokyo's Haneda airport

[kearvaigskewer]

JL516 has had an incident on landing, exploding into a fireball. It may have collided with a coastguard plane already on the runway.

Unknown if any passengers have been able to evacuate.

Edit2: NHK reporting 400 passengers evacuated.

Fingers crossed everyone is ok as that plane could have had a number of Australian skiers on it

First incident involving A350?

Sounds like all passengers evacuated

This live stream was live when the incident occurred. Still live.

Go to about 17:47 , the time on the video that is. Seems like they hit another aircraft, remains to be seen if that aircraft was entering, on the runway. The other aircraft is most certainly gone.

Far out! People were evacuated from that?

From what I've been able to read, there was already an emergency in progress with a priority landing, unconfirmed that they were too heavy on fuel. During this landing, another aircraft (coastguard aircraft or something) collided with the A350.

Already it seems like there were a number of things going wrong here, not just one thing, but it looks like the aircraft was burning very intensely - in fact you can clearly see fire across many parts of the cabin (but unclear if that's after the evacuation), I am worried if everyone was able to be evacuated quickly enough.

The A350 has had no major incidents and zero fatalities and zero hull losses so far.

Fire was fairly light at the start when the evac started, it’s now since spread to the whole aircraft however.

Twitter is reporting everyone got off, unable to verify these claims obviously, however the fire was not as intense when the evacuation started, compared to now, in which nothing remains.

NHK is reporting all passengers and crew were able to evacuate.

Nothing about the other aircraft at this stage.

VA77 diverted to NRT

CNN covering it well. Doesn't look good for the smaller plane.

The English translations on the NHK live stream said everyone escaped.

The ABC News update also just said that Japan Airlines confirmed everyone evacuated.

Haneda is now closed. VA77 is being redirected to Narita.

Dash 8-300 apparently.

 

[drron]

And JAL has said all passengers and crew evacuated. The plane had flown from CTS. the A350 is definitely a total loss.

I hope no AFFers are following me around. 2 days after we left Kanazawa they have a massive eartquake and 2 days after flying out of HND on JAL they have a plane totally destroyed there.

Dash 8-300 apparently.

Japanese news said 6 crew onboard and at this stage 1 survivor

5 people unaccountable on the Coast Guard plane

Sky Au have switched to Sky UK and covering live. Same as the Japanese news above, all JAL pax and crew evacuated, 5/6 coast guard missing.

Edit - now reporting all Coast Guard accounted for.
