All 379 passengers and crew of a Japan Airlines plane miraculously
escaped from a fire following a collision with a Coast Guard aircraft at
Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday, but local media said most of the
coast guard plane crew had died.
The
Coast Guard said the collision involved one of its planes that was
headed to Niigata airport on Japan's west coast to deliver aid to those
caught up in a powerful earthquake that struck on New Year's Day, killing at least 48 people.
Five of the six crew of the coast guard aircraft have died, public
broadcaster NHK reported. A coast guard spokesperson earlier said five
of the crew were unaccounted for but that the captain had escaped.
