A Japan Airlines plane carrying hundreds of passengers burst into flames while landing at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Tuesday after colliding with a plane involved in earthquake relief efforts.
All crew members and passengers, including eight children under two years old, aboard JAL Flight 516 were safely evacuated from the passenger plane, according to the airline, but five of six people on the other plane were reportedly killed.
The Airbus A350-900 plane ignited after flying from the northern Japanese city of Sapporo to Haneda at 5:47 p.m. local time (3:47 a.m. ET).
According to Japanese public broadcaster NHK, five crew members died on the second plane, believed to be a Japanese Coast Guard (JCG) De Havilland Canada DHC-8. The plane's captain was said to be in critical condition.
JAL is investigating the details and cause of the plane fire, an airline representative told CNN.
According to NHK, the local fire department confirmed that 17 people on board the Japan Airlines plane were injured.
However, no further information is currently available regarding the details of the injury.
More than 100 fire engines were dispatched in response to the accident, NHK reports.
Video footage showed the passenger plane being engulfed by a large fireball as it flew down the runway. The plane was then seen stalling and people using emergency slides to escape the inferno while firefighters tried to fight the growing flames.
A JCG spokesman told CNN that its planes flew from Haneda Airport to an air base in Niigata Prefecture to help with relief efforts after a magnitude 7.5 earthquake on Monday.
According to NHK, Japan Airlines Flight 516 took off from New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, Hokkaido Prefecture, to Haneda Airport in Tokyo with around 400 passengers and crew on board.
Most departures from Haneda Airport have now been canceled and it is unclear when flight operations will resume, the broadcaster reports.
CNN is contacting authorities to confirm further details.
