All runways have been closed at Tokyo's Haneda airport, after a Japan Airlines plane caught fire. The Airbus A350 had collided with a Japanese coast guard aircraft, reportedly on its way to deliver aid to quake-hit areas in central Japan. NHK said five coast guard members have been confirmed dead. More than 70 fire engines were deployed to put out the blaze. All 396 passengers and crew on board flight JL516 survived. One traveller CNA spoke to said the situation at Haneda is calm, even as hundreds of passengers were left stranded due to the flight delays.
