'It was a miracle': How 'written in blood' safety rules saved lives in Tokyo plane crash

In a harrowing yet miraculous incident on Tuesday, passengers aboard Japan Airlines (JAL) flight 516 narrowly escaped a catastrophic event at Haneda Airport, Tokyo. The flight ended in a dramatic runway collision and an ensuing inferno. Genki Miyamoto, the 39-year-old captain of the Coast Guard plane, miraculously survived, though his crewmates, aged between 27 and 56, were not as fortunate. Miyamoto's survival and subsequent alert to his base about the explosion added a glimmer of hope amidst the tragedy.
