Crews begin clearing plane wreckage from Japan runway collision

Teams at Tokyo's Haneda Airport are removing the burnt remains of a Japan Airlines (JAL) Airbus A350 following a fatal runway collision with a Japanese Coast Guard plane. The clearance operation involves excavators dismantling the aircraft, overseen by several personnel. The Japan Transport Safety Board (JTSB) has yet to recover the JAL plane's cockpit voice recorder. The wreckage will be transferred to a hangar by January 7 for further examination by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The investigation is focusing on why the Coast Guard aircraft was on the runway as the JAL plane landed.
