In a shocking incident on a Tokyo runway, new details have emerged about a fiery and deadly crash involving a Japan Airlines jet and a Japan Coast Guard plane. Alarming reports indicate that the red warning lights, intended to prevent planes from taxiing onto the runway, were not functioning at the time of the accident. Transcripts of the communication between air traffic control and the planes have also been released, shedding light on the events leading up to the catastrophic collision.
The transcript reveals that air traffic control had instructed the Coast Guard plane to 'taxi to holding point' just a minute before the passenger plane was cleared to land. However, there is no indication that the Coast Guard plane had been cleared for takeoff. These crucial four minutes, between 5:43 and 5:47 p.m., are now the focus of the investigation into this harrowing crash.
