This is the moment a large airliner carrying 379 passengers touched down as smoke filled the cabin at an airport near Tokyo, after it crashed into a coastguard plane as it came into land.
The Japan Airlines jet was engulfed in a raging inferno as it sat on the runway at Haneda Airport, in Ota City, Tokyo, today, with gouts of flame seen pouring out of the passenger windows.
New footage taken from inside the plane shows passengers panicking as smoke fills the cabin. Several can be seen with masks and rags over their mouth in an effort to limit the amount of smoke they inhale, while others can be heard crying out in fear.
Another new clip showed smoke pouring out of the side of the plane as it touches down on the runway of Haneda Airport, the busiest in the country, which saw over 26.5 million passengers in 2021.
Images from the scene showed how the passenger escape slide protruding from one of the airliner’s doors was set ablaze as more flames burned within the cabin.
Haneda Airport has closed all its runways following the shock crash, a spokesperson said, while a Japan Airlines spokesperson told local media that all 379 passengers and crew aboard the aircraft – a two-year-old Airbus A-350 – at the time of the explosion were successfully evacuated from the stricken plane.
