Passengers on Japan Airlines Flight 516 were buckled up as their pilot made a final approach to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. About two minutes later, the Airbus A350 was on the ground but engulfed in an orange fireball. The airliner had collided with a much smaller coast guard plane that had received permission to approach the same runway but not takeoff clearance, according to a transcript of traffic control communications from the minutes before Tuesday’s crash. The big question to have emerged in the investigation so far is why the Bombardier Dash-8 already had entered the runway by the time the airliner came in.
