And you don't remember what I said here, either, but it was pompous and stupid.

bbc says the airline claims all of the passengers and crew have been evacuated

Also says it may have been caused by a collision with a coast guard plane. Doesn't say anything about what happened to the crew of the other plane. Presumably a much smaller plane.

Five unaccounted for on coastguard plane - reports
A few moments ago, we reported that officials thought the plane on fire on Tokyo's runway could have collided with a Japanese coastguard plane.

Now, Japanese broadcasters TBS and NHK say one person onboard the coastguard plane escaped, while the other five remain unaccounted for.

We'll bring you more on this as soon as we get it.

This is why it's important to kill anyone futzing with luggage if you have to evacuate. Microseconds count!

With a mid air collision those pilots did a loving amazing job to get that plane down in one piece.

The pilot of the coastguard aircraft survived.

crucify this


Always listen to the flight crew and take your drat airpods out when they tell you to. Takeoff, approach, and landing (especially landing) are by a large margin the most likely times for an aircraft accident to happen.

Weird as hell though, not even 12 hours ago I was watching a video on 74gear about ATC almost causing a runway landing/takeoff collision, and the importance of putting your seats up when they tell you to because in an emergency evacuation you could get people killed if you don't.

How dare you use the 1" recline feature that's built in and advertised!

I've never seen a reclined seat that tilts more than 1degree.

Well, one caused the other. The small plane wouldn't have been there if it hadn't been responding to the earthquake.

:hmmyes: yeah its a chair cascade, because reclining the chair 1" removes .5" of space from the seatback tray table, so I have to recline to pull the tray out fractionally to restore the proper viewing angle :goonsay:

They should remove reclining seats from any flight <3 hours IMO

Yeah, exactly why it’s a problem.

Obviously this is the airline’s fault for continuing to cram us in like sardines but until justice is meted out to them I’d like that one inch of personal space back please.
