1. Japan Airlines officials are shedding light on the dramatic evacuation of a plane that collided with a Japan Coast Guard aircraft on Tuesday at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. They say all passengers and crew had escaped 18 minutes after landing. They say Flight 516 arrived from New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, landing on runway C at around 5:47 p.m. The officials say the aircraft collided with the Coast Guard plane immediately after landing, and caught fire. The plane stopped after traveling about one kilometer, and the people on board escaped from three emergency exits.
