In a stunning turn of events at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan, a Japan Airlines flight burst into flames upon landing, while miraculously all 367 passengers and 12 crew members escaped unscathed. The incident occurred just hours after Japan was hit by a powerful earthquake that left the nation in distress.
The Airbus A350, operating as Japan Airlines flight 516 from Sapporo to Tokyo, was packed with passengers, as this is the prime tourist season in Sapporo and a holiday weekend. The aircraft, a popular choice for many airlines, possessed a strong safety record, consistent with Japan's diligent approach to safety across all modes of transportation.
