Five dead on coastguard plane after Japan Airlines collision in Tokyo

Five people aboard a Japanese coastguard plane have died after their aircraft collided with a passenger plane at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

The coastguard plane was due to deliver aid to areas hit by Monday's deadly earthquake.

All 379 people on board the burning Japan Airlines plane were evacuated, the airline said.

Dramatic footage showed passengers fleeing the Airbus A350 on inflatable slides and running across the tarmac.

Fire ripped through the Japan Airlines flight 516 which had taken off from Hokkaido in northern Japan nearly two hours earlier.
