Video Of A Japan Airlines Flight Landing While On Fire Is Going Viral, And All 379 Passengers Survived
The crew achieved the unthinkable.
So, according to the New York Times, members of Japan’s coast guard were dispatched to deliver needed supplies via aircraft to some of the country’s hardest-hit areas. However, disaster struck this morning when one of these aircrafts was involved in a collision with a Japan Airlines plane carrying passengers.
Video of the incident’s aftermath has been circling online, revealing how the passenger airliner burst into flames while landing at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.
Images of the plane are terrifying.
But, miraculously, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida shared in a press conference that all 379 passengers and crew members have been evacuated and are safe.
However, five members of the coast guard team were killed and the pilot severely injured, USA Today reports.
In the wake of these back-to-back tragedies, the public has expressed support for Japan online and applauded the passenger airline’s crew for their quick action when saving all of the nearly 400 passengers.
Absolutely incredible that, in the chaos of this accident, everyone aboard the passenger plane escaped from serious harm. Yikes. https://t.co/jLb57hIntJ
