TOKYO, Jan 2 (Reuters) - A Japan Airlines aircraft with passengers still on board was on fire on a runway at Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday after a possible collision with a Coast Guard aircraft, Nippon TV reported.

Live footage on public broadcaster NHK showed flames coming out of the windows of the aircraft.

A spokesperson at Japan Airlines said the aircraft, originating from Shin-Chitose airport in Hokkaido, was carrying more than 300 passengers.

It sounds like one of those cases where the tower directed two aircraft onto the same runway or else one of the pilots got confused about what runway they were on.

Some sort of runway intrusion by the Coast Guard plane?

We’ve had way too many close calls due to shoddy ATC and over crowded airports, it’s a matter of time

Looks like that from the video of the crash. The Coast Guard plane was carrying relief supplies for the earthquake recovery effort. Most likely tired over-worked flight crew that has been flying too many hours and not enough sleep.

Sorry. Tacky.

I've not seen any more on it, but this seems the most likely.

Japanese authorities said that a passenger jet that collided with a Coast Guard turboprop at a Tokyo airport was given permission to land, but the smaller plane was not cleared for take-off, based on transcripts of conversations with the control tower https://reut.rs/3RCpVxC
