Discover the incredible story of 379 passengers and crew members who escaped a fiery disaster at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

In a heart-stopping incident at Haneda Airport, a Japan Airlines passenger jet collided with an earthquake relief aircraft, triggering a blaze that engulfed the plane. Despite the harrowing circumstances, all 379 passengers and crew miraculously managed to evacuate to safety down emergency slides just moments before the aircraft was consumed by flames.
