Pilots of a Japanese airliner that collided with a smaller plane at Tokyo Haneda Airport were initially unaware that their jet was on fire.
It was a flight attendant who informed them of the cabin fire, a Japan Airlines spokesperson told the BBC.
After that, the evacuation of all 379 on board Japan Airlines Flight 516 proceeded with life-saving precision.
Five of six people on board the smaller coastguard plane, a Bombardier Dash-8, died.

..."In 2016, an Emirates Boeing 777 crash landed in Dubai and video footage showed chaotic scenes of passengers trying to take their luggage with them as they fled to the emergency slides. The crew were praised for their efforts to evacuate passengers, and luckily all 300 on board the Dubai flight survived.
Tuesday's incident is the first major accident involving an Airbus A350, one of a new breed of aircraft built largely of advanced materials such as carbon fibre-reinforced plastic.
The aircraft manufacturer is sending a team of specialists to assist in the investigation of the Japan Transport Safety Board."
