According to Chinese authorities, a coast guard plane that was involved in the fatal incident at Tokyo’s Haneda airport was not given the go-ahead to take off.
On Tuesday, a passenger plane operated by Japan Airlines ( JAL ) collided with the smaller aircraft on the runway.
The JAL Airbus A350 was able to land, according to recently released recordings of air traffic control guidelines released just before the accident.
Bombardier Dash- 8 of the coastguard was never given permission to take off.
Officials claim that the navy aircraft’s final exchange with the control tower involved repeating the command “taxi to holding place,” which refers to the area on the airfield where aircraft wait for authorization before taking off.
The transcripts seem to refute the navy plane’s captain, who claimed to have been given permission to enter the runway that the JAL aircraft was approaching. He was the only one of the six team members to succeed.
Following the incident, all 379 passengers and crew members aboard the cutting-edge JAL Airbus were carefully evacuated, according to police.
At 16 :00 local time ( 07 :00 GMT ), Japan Airlines Flight 516 departed from Sapporo’s New Chitose airport and touched down in Haneda just before 1800.
Immediately after landing, the aircraft was engulfed in flames.
One customer told the Kyodo information company,” I felt a growth like we had hit anything and jerked upward the instant we landed.” ” I observed smoke and gas filling the room and fires outside the window.”
Videos and images showed how passengers ran to health after escaping using removal slides.
Some fire vehicles were visible on television as smoke and flames billowed from the Airbus. People were visible as being engulfed in dense fumes from inside the plane.
The flight personnel, according to authorities, had not reported any issues prior to landing.
According to a JAL speech, flight JL516 “was involved in an incident with an aircraft from the Japan navy during its getting at Haneda Airport, resulting in fire on the runway.”
Following the earthquake in Ishikawa on Monday, the navy plane was flying toward the area to assist with rescue and relief work. It was one of four planes traveling to the earthquake page.
Tokyo authorities confirmed information that five navy crew members had died and the captain had suffered serious injuries within hours of the fire.
Fumio Kishida, the prime minister of Japan, stated that the authorities were attempting to prevent the incident from impeding the delivery of disaster alleviation supplies.
This is regrettable because the team members carried out their duties with a strong sense of duty and accountability for the crisis area’s victims, he said.
According to Chinese people journalist NHK, citing fire authorities, at least 14 of the passengers and crew who were removed from the JAL trip suffered minor injuries.
An Airbus A350, one of a new type of aircraft made primarily of cutting-edge materials like carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, was involved in the first significant accident.
The plane company is sending a group of experts to Japan to help with the investigation.
