Japan plane crash: What happened?

[@jujubees711]

That is amazing that all 379 passengers and crew got out alive. But so sad the rescue workers heading to aide in earthquake relief efforts on the other plane perished. They still died heroes answering the call.

It also helped that the passenger aircraft was landing, carrying fewer fuel from its flight.

[@liangxu]

Probably the Airbus was landing after a long distance travel so most of its fuel had been used up.

And the accident shows how bad the Japanese handles these types of takeoffs and landings with different planes. This could have been avoided if the Traffic Controllers were more alert and the Small plane had a transponder. Very unprofessional

[@FirstLastOne]

I personally believe that had this been any other nationality carrier, there wouldn’t have been so many lives saved. It’s a testament to both Japanese culture and superior crew training that they were able to evacuate that huge airliner in so short a space of time with zero lives lost. Of course, the saddest part is that only two days into a new year, five people are dead who were embarking on a mission to help others in distress.

[@roflmatol]

Maybe in a country with "superior crew training" they wouldn't have crashed into a parked plane in the first place

[@thwalesproductions]

The crew did nothing wrong, they were cleared to land and they couldn't see the dash 8 in time which probably didn't have it's lights on, the dash 8 crew entered the runway without permission, the JAL crew isn't at fault ​@@roflmatol

[@wishkid79]

@@roflmatol The A350 flight was given clearance to land. For whatever reason, as I’m sure we are bound to discover, the Bombardier had entered onto the live runway. The A350 was configured to land, meaning is nose was raised and it’s tail lowered, making ground visibility even more limited, hence the reliance on the ATC. Playing a blame game at this stage does no one any good. My point was and remains that the culture of the Japanese tends to be calm, diligent and orderly and this has proven to have been beneficial in this instance. There are many cultures around the world where the “me first” attitude prevails and as such, an identical accident in another part of the world may not have had such a positive outcome. I say this a person from the UK, who has great reverence for Japan, it’s people and their culture. It is my subjective personal opinion.

[@KenKen-ui4ny]

@@thwalesproductions I think someone else mentioned here, there where 12 Australians onboard too. What everyone is forgetting, is Tokyo's Haneda is a very busy international airport, just like London's Heathrow. Toronto's Pearson. Sydney's Kingsford Smith. and Chicago's O Hare. Meaning there going to be also a lot of passengers from other countries and cultures coming and going. So it kind of hard to justify, rather it's the Japanese culture way why everyone got off safely, or just luck being on their side in that case. And has for who fault the crash was. More then likely it was human error between the dash 8 and ATC. Maybe the coast guard pilots got distracted, and entered the runway by mistake. We had an incident here in the US not too long ago in the early 2000's. Where distracted crew, taxied onto the wrong runway, that was meant for smaller private aircraft and crashed. Because it was too short.

It looks like the large plane landed more or less on top of the smaller plane. The front landing gear took most of the impact. I think this is why the large plane took so much less damage. The small plane was smashed so much by the landing gear that it was in small pieces.

[@watchhans]

On one of the videos, taken by a passenger with his smartphone, showing the aircraft from it's front right hand side and passengers evacuation through door R1, it can clearly be seen that at that very moment there was no fire on the left hand side of the plane, but just below the center of the fuselage and the engine no.2 still running, emmiting sparks, fueling the fire below the center fuselage. My question is, why the fire brigade did not react to try to smother that fire from engine no.2 by foam and even trying to choke that engine. As it can clearly be seen, at that very moment that still running engine no.2 was the main source of the fire. It probably couldn't be shut off because of an electronic failure due to the damage of the impact.

My guess would be that the coast guard aircraft did not have its ADS-B transponder set correctly.

All safety instructions are based off many years of scientific studies and research and not some bone headed KZbinr trying to get cheap views for their own personal gain.

They didn't maintain control, the plane skated down the runway a la TAM Airlines Flight 3054 only in the dry and without any landing gear. They also confirmed that they DID NOT see the Coast Guard plane AND obeyed ATC clearances instead of initiating a proper Go-Around procedure in cluttered, scrambled and diverted airspace.

[@annabodot962]

Thanks. It looked somewhat controlled, but I appreciate the info. I have since learned about the ATC clearance. Not sure about the opportunity for a go-around. Would an Airbus be able to execute one that close to the ground? @@DR3ADER1

Japanese are well disciplined 👌

[@thisisspartaa7910]

I watched this 3 times and still don't understand what happened

[@stephenfortin9485]

small coast guard plane was told to hold short of runway as large airbus was landing . they did not hold short and went to hold on the runway itself and got hit by the landing airbus .

Two objects tried to occupy the same point in the space-time continuum -- always a BAD idea...

[@akywongster]

I can’t even imagine how the pilot must be feeling he will feel the blood on his hands

[@seanseoltoir]

I suspect that right now, he's "feeling" Demerol...

[@thud9797]

Also those in the ATC tower at the time. They let the Dash 8 taxi onto 34R without authorization and then let it sit there for nearly a full minute without noticing it and with the A350 bearing down while no action was taken. So they will have some explaining to do and possible criminal charges could be coming from this.

Pilots and crew...always 2 pilots on every commercial aircraft...both qualified pilots.

[@lorenzotola6097]

Worst then an horror film. My deepest condolences to the families.

[@CandiceMMartinez]

My deepest condolences to those heroes who died 🙏🏼 I am so sorry for their families. God wanted his angels to come back home. May God heal their loved ones 🕊️ Offering my prayers from New Jersey 💔 At the same time, thank God the crew on the other plane survived!

[@cartoonvandal]

Is God wanting his angels to come back home a good thing or a bad thing?

[@seanseoltoir]

That would be the same deity that allowed this to happen in the first place? Sorry, but I seriously doubt that he micro-manages the Universe...

[@MDVS-A]

The pilots wasn't seeing that small plane.

[@maddie107]

I think they needed to add that, yes, there have been 720 accidents between 2017 and 2022, but this only works out as roughly 120 a year worldwide, a tiny amount considering the vast number of flights. (178million between 17-22 according to stats online)

Runway C?? Great reporting 😅

[@pepinogonzalez4761]

Hmmmm runway C🤔

[@henrikolsen5]

Yeah, it's a mess, this explanation. Better not broadcast it then. There's taxiway C and runway 34R running in parallel, but unclear what is meant here. Did JAL516 actually mistakingly touch down on C, and not see neither the Dash-8 nor the right (pardon the pun) runway (34R), mistaking it for taxiway C? Looking forward to a preliminary report on the terrible incident.

[@Ladder209]

@@henrikolsen5 The video from inside the A350 looking out the left side of the plane while the plane is still moving shows dashed lines running along the path of the plane. These lines don't appear on taxiways so I don't think the A350 landed on the runway.

[@TOPDadAlpha]

Great report

[@Nichy_NI]

So that's why the Dash-8 never appeared on Flightradar24

[@Dragon34th]

I bet if you'd ban pilots for having a cell phone with tic-tock on it with them in the cockpit, the rate of landing accidents will drop fast.

[@subject_7]

This makes Airbus look safer than Boeing. Considering Boeing's past safety negligence.

Runway C?
