"Examining the Human Factor in Recent Airplane Incidents from Tokyo to Alaska"

TL;DR Summary
Two aircraft, a Japan Airlines Airbus A350 and a coast guard Bombardier Dash-8, collided on the runway at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, leading to a fire and the death of five coast guard crew members. The JAL plane, with 379 passengers, was evacuated in 18 minutes, with no casualties reported among the passengers. Transcripts and footage suggest human error may have contributed to the collision, as the coast guard plane was on the runway without clear takeoff approval. The incident is under investigation, and measures are being taken to improve traffic control operations at the airport.
