Japan Airlines crash news LIVE: Five crew ‘unaccounted for on coast guard aircraft’ after it collided with passenger jet which then exploded as it skidded along Tokyo airport runway

Five of the six crew members onboard the coast guard plane are now confirmed dead, Japanese broadcaster NHK reports.

Swede Anton Deibe, 17, who was a passenger on the Japan Airlines plane, told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that ‘the entire cabin was filled with smoke within a few minutes.

‘We threw ourselves down on the floor. Then the emergency doors were opened and we threw ourselves at them.

‘The smoke in the cabin stung like hell. It was a hell.’

Deibe, who was travelling with his parents and sister, added: ‘We have no idea where we are going so we just run out into the field. It was chaos.’

A passenger onboard the Japan Airlines jet that collided with a coast guard plane recorded terrifying footage.

A video shows the moment the burning plane touched down on the tarmac as orange smoke surrounds the aircraft.

In another clip passengers can be seen looking around the plane in panic as the cabin fills with smoke.

Dramatic pictures are continuing to emerge showing the scale of the jet plane inferno at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, Japan.

Images (see below) show black smoke billowing out from the aircraft as firefighters try to put out the blaze.

All 379 passengers and crews of JAL airplane have been evacuated from the airplane while 5 members of JCG are unaccounted for.

The Japanese Coast Guard has confirmed that the collision involved one of its planes that was headed to Niigata airport on Japan’s west coast to deliver aid to those caught up in the powerful earthquake.

A spokesperson at Japan Airlines, the other plane involved, said its aircraft had departed from Shin-Chitose airport on the northern island of Hokkaido.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida instructed relevant agencies to coordinate to assess the damage swiftly and provide information to the public, according to his office.

Haneda has closed all runways following the incident, a spokesperson for the airport said.

A large airliner carrying 379 passengers exploded today at an airport near Tokyo after colliding with a coastguard plane as it came into land, Japanese media reported.

A Japan Airlines spokesperson reportedly told NHK that all 379 passengers aboard the aircraft at the time of the explosion were successfully evacuated from the stricken plane.

There has been no official confirmation of casualties or injured, but a successful evacuation of all passengers and crew would be a truly miraculous feat given the blaze completely gutted the plane and melted through huge chunks of its bodywork.

Fire crews were deployed to the scene immediately, with footage from Japanese broadcaster NHK showing how firefighters were desperately trying to extinguish the flames with multiple hoses.
