"Heroic Responses and Safety Protocols Prevent Mass Casualties in Tokyo Plane Collision"

A collision at Tokyo's Haneda airport involving a Japan Airlines Airbus A350 and a Japan Coast Guard plane resulted in the death of five crew members on the Coast Guard aircraft, but all 379 passengers and crew on the JAL plane survived. The successful evacuation is attributed to rigorous safety standards and training, influenced by Japan Airlines' safety culture, which was profoundly shaped by a tragic crash in 1985. The incident highlights the importance of safety procedures and crew training in aviation, as well as the need for passengers to pay attention to safety briefings and prioritize evacuation over personal belongings.
