A runway at Tokyo's Haneda airport that had been closed since a fatal collision between a Japan Airlines plane and a Japan Coast Guard aircraft reopens..
haneda runway and this is where it made contact right there with the coast guard plane on the runway, and that is important to note, and this coast guard plane was there, and the japan airlines collides with it, and streaks down the runway in flames, which is remarkable in and of itself, and ends up at the other senend of the runway this fireball and this is where all of the passengers manage to get out from, and that is a story in and of itself, and now with us, is mary schiavo and the fa faa expert, and was it even cleared to land. and what questions do ju you ha this morning? that is one of the questions i have, and what is going on in the tower. in the the united states, when this is on the radar screen, and as pete said, this is one of the
instructions and follow them. this is going to be, i think, a fairly classic case of, perhaps, a pilot not knowing exactly where he was on the haneda runway. but, the attention is going to be, certainly, on the two flight crews, and on the tower. peter goelz, thank you. now, to the aftermath of japan s deadly earthquake. we want to share with you some images that are new from some of the worst hit areas on the country s western coast. you can see here, these are before and after images showing the extent of the destruction that was caused by fires ignited after the earthquake. this is now what rescuers have to sift through as a race to find any survivors. the earthquake toppled homes, damaged roadways, and more than a day later, there is still limited access to some of the hardest hit areas. officials say at least 57 people were killed across jajap.
