    Very bad fire being broadcast live on Sky News at the moment. Very much hope all passengers and crew have gotten off safely.

    Looks to be a Japan Airlines Airbus A350-900.

    Reports suggesting it collided with another aircraft after landing. Left engine nacelle appears to have some impact damage.

    Sky saying a collision with a smaller aircraft caused it. Chutes deployed so hopefully everyone got off OK

    They're now reporting a possible collision with a smaller aircraft on the runway. :(

    Surely there would be injuries if not fatalities on the coast guard plane. They keep saying nobody was killed or seriously hurt in the incident and quoting miracles etc.

    Saw the moment of collision on NHK. Hell of a fireball and significant fire over the plane as it rolled down the runway. Too dark and to far to really see the plane it collided with.

    Astonishing that the crew managed to get everyone off that plane, well done JAL


    The guardian reporting

    "The coastguard plane that appears to have collided with a Japan Airlines passenger plane today was part of Japan’s earthquake relief efforts, carrying supplies to Niigata airport."

    RIP to the casualties on this incident. While awful, it is testimony to modern civil aircraft and the safety systems to which they operate under that everyone on the Japan Airlines aircraft managed to evacuate.

    Yep, I'd say most of us have sat through the safety briefing well over a dozen times at this stage.

    Amazing that everyone got off. Those A350 flights are domestic only so operate in a typical high config and apparently in this case only 3 doors were in operation for evacuation.

    The Coast Guard plane was a Dash 8, so not that small either.

    Japan is a society founded on rules and respect. I'd put money down that few if any tried to bring their hand luggage with them.

    If this had happened anywhere else, the outcome may well have been very different.

    Was watching it on Sky News.


    Why on earth was there no fire brigade response to extinguish the fire. It burned for at least 20 mins with only one fire engine sporadically spraying it with foam, and not dampening the fire at all.


    Surely every fire unit in the airport should have been on scene within a few minutes and doused the fire immediately.

    I doubt you leave an international airport with no fire cover, or one tender with a crew who dont know how to put out a fire.

    Perhaps they decided to focus their resources at the crash site a mile away trying to find and save the missing people?

    RIP to the 5 who died. But leaving that aside i'd say there were a few relieved heads in Toulouse when it came to light that there was another aircraft involved

    Found this very good video on the tube of the ATC recording. 15 secs in they have zoomed in, you can just about make out the other aircraft. I have to say its a miracle no one on the Airbus was injured or killed but condolences to the coast guard members families.
