From Wikipedia
On 2 January 2024, a runway collision occurred at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan, involving an Airbus A350, operating as Japan Airlines Flight 516, and a De Havilland Canada Dash 8 operated by the Japan Coast Guard (JA722A). Flight 516 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from New Chitose Airport near Sapporo, Japan, to Haneda Airport. The Coast Guard plane was scheduled to deliver relief supplies a day after the 2024 Noto earthquake.
As Japan Airlines Flight 516 was landing, it collided with the Coast Guard aircraft, immediately igniting fires that destroyed both aircraft. Five of the six crew on board the Dash 8 died in the collision, leaving only the captain alive. Everyone on board the A350 survived. Investigations have determined that Japan Airlines Flight 516 was given landing clearance, while the Coast Guard aircraft did not have permission to be on the runway.
The accident marked the first hull-loss accident involving Japan Airlines since Flight 123 in 1985, and also the first hull-loss accident of an Airbus A350 since its introduction in January 2015.
