A Japan Airlines airplane was on Tuesday seen in flames on the runway of Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. The images showed the plane moving briskly along the runway before an explosion burst from beneath it.

The cause of the incident was not immediately clear, but media reports said that the Airbus collided with a coastguard aircraft.

According to the latest reports, about 400 people who were on board have been evacuated.

The television footage showed flames coming out of windows and the plane’s nose on the ground as rescue workers sprayed it.
