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. The earthquake is now known to have killed nearly 50 people.
Dramatic footage showed passengers fleeing the burning Japan Airlines plane on inflatable slides and running across the tarmac, but all 379 people on board were evacuated, the airline said.
