"Aviation Safety Scrutinized: Lessons from Japan's Runway Incident and Alaska's Mid-Air Scare"

Both the captain and co-pilot of a Japan Coast Guard plane heard the instructions from air traffic control before their aircraft collided with a passenger jet at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. This information suggests that there may have been a misinterpretation of the directions by both officers. The Japan Transport Safety Board is conducting interviews with air traffic controllers and has retrieved the voice recorder from the Japan Airlines plane to investigate the crash further.
