Passengers on a plane that burst into flames after it collided with a coast guard aircraft in Tokyo have been describing the horror that unfolded.<\/p>\n

The incident<\/strong> happened on the runway at the city’s Haneda airport on Tuesday after the Japan Airlines Flight 516 had just landed and was seen skidding down the tarmac.<\/p>\n

All 379 people on board the Airbus A-350 were led to safety before the jet was entirely engulfed in fire. The pilot of the Japanese coast guard plane, a Bombardier Dash-8, also escaped but five crew members died.<\/p>\n

The plane had been due to head to Niigata airport to deliver aid to residents affected by an earthquake in the region on Monday that killed at least 48 people.<\/p>\n

“I felt a boom like we had hit something and jerked upward the moment we landed,” one passenger told the Kyodo news agency.<\/p>\n

“I saw sparks outside the window and the cabin filled with gas and smoke.”<\/p>\n

Local TV video showed a large blaze and smoke from the side of the Japan Airlines plane as it taxied after landing. The area around the wing then caught fire.<\/p>\n

Footage an hour later showed the plane, which had flown from Shin Chitose airport, fully on fire.<\/p>\n

In one clip obtained by Sky News, a passenger’s view through a plane window revealed a trail of smoke pouring out from near the wing as the Airbus A-350 sped down the runway.<\/p>\n

Inside, loud rumblings could be heard from the engines and the shaking hull, while an alert sounded repeatedly.<\/p>\n

‘It was chaos’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another passenger, 17-year-old Anton Deibe from Sweden, was flying with his parents and sister.<\/p>\n

“The entire cabin was filled with smoke within a few minutes,” he told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.<\/p>\n

“We threw ourselves down on the floor. Then the emergency doors were opened and we threw ourselves at them.<\/p>\n

“The smoke in the cabin stung like hell. It was a hell. We have no idea where we are going so we just ran out into the field. It was chaos.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
