Looks like this is going to be bad. 5 metre waves.

A cargo plane delivering aid has collided in Tokyo with a passenger plane (thankfully on the ground enabling all the passengers to escape it seems) but sadly looks like 5 of the 6 cargo plane crew may be lost.
Horrendous pictures of the plane on fire.

Someone has fucked up big time there, miracle that everyone on the passenger plane managed to escape.

Seems very lucky the Japan airlines plane did not suffer immediate catastrophic damage as you can see videos of some sort of impact when landing.

Looks like the passenger plane has just landed and has all wheels on the ground when it clips or collides with something and there's a huge fireball. Got to hand it to the cabin crew to manage everyone off a plane that looks like it's covered in aviation fuel.Someone has fucked up big time there, miracle that everyone on the passenger plane managed to escape.

Seems the Dash 8 coastguard plane was on the runway and was hit by the passenger plane when it was landing destroying the Dash 8 and causing the passenger plane to crash land and slide along the runway. Incredible that all 379 on board the Airbus survived.A cargo plane delivering aid has collided in Tokyo with a passenger plane (thankfully on the ground enabling all the passengers to escape it seems) but sadly looks like 5 of the 6 cargo plane crew may be lost.

Not just luck. The design of a modern aircraft like the A350 will have contributed hugely to its passengers survival. An older plane most likely would have just gone up in a huge ball of flame immediately.Seems very lucky the Japan airlines plane did not suffer immediate catastrophic damage as you can see videos of some sort of impact when landing.

Indeed,
Any idea of the size of the coastguard plane? The videos suggest that was destroyed instantly
