TL;DR

A Japan Airlines (JAL) aircraft collided with a Japan Coast Guard plane on the runway at Tokyo's Haneda Airport due to a lack of awareness from both the JAL crew and air traffic control. The coast guard plane unexpectedly entered the runway, leading to a fatal crash that left only the captain of the coast guard plane as the survivor among his six-person crew. The incident is under investigation, with the captain providing details to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
