The burning airplane had 379 onboarded passengers and crew members while the smaller aircraft had 6 crew members out of which five lost their lives.
The LIVE footage of this horrendous accident depicts the massive fire that was ready to engulf hundreds of passengers and might have charred them to death. All 367 passengers and 12 crew members were evacuated from the fire that destroyed the flying beast into debris. As per the aviation ministry, the JAL A350 was making a normal attempt to land when it collided with the Coast Guard’s aircraft on the runway. There were no reports of engine failure or other issues however the cause is still under investigation.
For all of them, getting out of the burning aircraft and being alive was nothing less than a miracle. “I felt a boom like we had hit something and jerked upward the moment we landed,” a passenger told Kyodo news agency. “I saw sparks outside the window and the cabin filled with gas and smoke”, said another.
