AVIATION PING!.....................
Title is incorrect. The collision occurred on the ground.
” Haneda airport was closed immediately following the crash but is expected to reopen as soon as possible”
...I know it’s safer to fly than drive but I’d be very hesitant to catch a flight there anytime soon.
That pic has GOT to be after they got out. It’s completely engulfed in flames.
The cabin crew must have had their act together. So did the Japanese passengers.
They’re Japanese. They love order.
In America?
Some flights would have a similar outcome. Others? I’d hate to be on a flight to Las Vegas or Orlando ...
Yes....aviation experts were giving a lot of credit to the behavior of the passengers. Panic could have led to a different result.
Yes, it was on fire in the tail section when the came to a stop.............
Reminds me of USAir Flight 1493/LAX
They probably all paid attention to where the emergency exits were and the procedures, and followed instructions.
It’s the passengers’ behavior that saved them. Look how they acted during the earthquake yesterday or the day before.
379 passengers on a Dash 8?
That is quite a feat!
That was the Coast Guard aircraft..................
A senior ‘check-airman’ flight instructor for a major airline tells me Air Traffic controllers are understaffed and overworked, making mistakes. Says private jet jockeys are bad news, unsafe practices, using cellphones during flight, inexperienced etc. He caught a flight home in a jumpseat behind the co-pilot of a small jet recently, who was playing games on his cellphone the entire flight. He said he wanted to tap the guy on the shoulder and say, “So, if you lose an engine right now, which airport would be your best bet?”
I assume it was the standard version and not the stretch version..........
The video shows the main gear on ground, nose gear still up at point of collision.
Nose gear may be gone.....................
In the US the aisle would be clogged with volumetrically enhanced persons.

379:
"סימן הניצחון"
Japan airliner inferno: Miracle as all 379 on board are evacuated...
JAL flight 516:
Hatikvah ["הַתִּקְוָה"]
Perhaps something will change, but as of now these are simply the two numbers being announced together front and center on the news reports.
379 + 516 = 895 =
"The word of the Lord came unto Moses, saying"
"וידבר יהוה אל משה לאמר"
occurring 70x, as 70 verses. 🔴
Wiki:
Japan [日本]
The characters 日本 mean "sun origin",[12] which is the source of the popular Western epithet "Land of the Rising Sun".[14]
