"Dream - A Japan Airlines (JAL) aircraft carrying 379 passengers caught fire at Haneda Airport, Tokyo, on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. According to flight tracking site FlightAware, the Japanese aircraft was an Airbus A350-900. The commercial flight numbered 516 caught fire after flying to Haneda from the city of Sapporo, northern Japan, at 5:47 PM local time."

The recording shows that the JAL plane moved and then caught fire with a large fireball. Passengers attempted to exit the plane using the emergency slide to escape. Live footage on NHK television showed the plane burning as it skidded on the runway.  Meanwhile, firefighters worked hard  to control the blaze.

According to the airline, all crew members and passengers, including eight children under the age of two, were successfully evacuated safely from the aircraft. JAL is currently investigating the details and cause of the aircraft fire, said a representative from the airline to CNN. As a result of this incident, Haneda Airport has closed all runways following the incident.

"One of the Japanese Coast Guard (JCG) teams has also confirmed to CNN that one of its aircraft, most likely the fixed-wing MA722, collided with commercial flight 516 on the runway of Haneda Airport. One person on the Coast Guard plane survived, but five others have not been found."

A JCG spokesperson told CNN that the JCG aircraft is en route from Haneda Airport to the JCG airbase in Niigata Prefecture to assist with relief efforts after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake occurred on Monday, January 1, 2024.
