Find out how all passengers and crew miraculously escaped a fiery collision in Tokyo on Japan Airlines flight 516.

In a dramatic scene at Tokyo's Haneda airport, a Japan Airlines plane burst into flames after a possible collision with a Coast Guard aircraft. Despite the terrifying sight, all passengers and crew on board managed to evacuate safely, with no reported injuries. The fire crews swiftly responded to the blaze, bringing the situation under control. This miraculous escape left everyone astonished at the successful evacuation.

The incident involved a Japan Airlines aircraft carrying hundreds of passengers that caught fire on the runway. The images of the burning plane were captured by national broadcaster NHK, highlighting the intensity of the situation. The fact that all 379 people on board managed to escape the fireball is nothing short of a miracle. Passengers and crew onboard the flight described their terror and relief after the fiery collision took place.

In the aftermath, investigations were launched to delve into the communication between the aircraft and the control tower.
