"Miraculous Escape and Financial Toll in Japan Airlines Runway Disaster"
A Japanese coast guard aircraft was involved in a fatal collision with a Japan Airlines passenger plane at Tokyo's Haneda International Airport after the coast guard plane was instructed to taxi to a holding point but not cleared for takeoff. The crash resulted in the death of five coast guard crew members, while all 379 passengers on the JAL plane were safely evacuated. An investigation is underway, focusing on air traffic control communications and the potential role of out-of-service runway warning lights.
