"Transcripts and Evacuation Details Emerge from Tokyo Plane Crash Investigation"

Japanese authorities have initiated two investigations into a fatal collision at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, where a Japan Airlines Airbus A350-900 crashed into a Coast Guard Bombardier Dash-8, resulting in five deaths. The probes are examining communication errors between air traffic control and the aircraft, with transcripts indicating the passenger jet had clearance to land, but the Coast Guard plane did not have take-off clearance. All passengers and crew of the Airbus were safely evacuated, while the Dash 8 suffered five crew fatalities. Airbus is assisting with the investigation, and the incident will test the resilience of carbon-composite airplane fuselages in fires.
