Japanese authorities are investigating whether the collision between two planes at Tokyo's Haneda airport that killed five people was due to human error.
" It is very likely to be human error. Normally only one aircraft is allowed to enter the runway, but despite being cleared to land, the Coast Guard aircraft was on the runway,” the Japanese police said in a statement.
The 379 passengers and crew of flight JAL516 managed to get off the plane after it collided during landing with a smaller Japanese coast guard aircraft preparing to take off.
The collision caused an explosion and the Japan Airlines plane caught fire.
It was completely destroyed after all passengers and 12 crew members were ejected. According to firefighters, it took eight hours to extinguish the fire.
Five of the six people aboard the Coast Guard aircraft were killed, while the pilot was able to escape, albeit with serious injuries.
