Monday, August 20, 2007 Plane explodes after landing posted at 7:51 AM I guess we can call this "odd news", because all the passengers escaped safely and terrorism isn't suspected. And it's weird! Mainichi has the best coverage. Taiwanese jet explodes into flames at Okinawa airport, no passengers hurt Here's Asahi's, just to be fair. China Airlines aircraft explodes soon after landing at Naha Airport; all 165 people on board escape Labels: japan, news Comments I actually lived in Okinawa for two years when I was in the military. I agree, this did seem weird, but I'm glad everyone made it off the plane safely...which, if you look at pictures of the plane, seems rather miraculous.

Apparently the explosion was due to some sliding that happened upon landing. By  Heather Meadows at Monday, August 20, 2007 12:51:00 PM   Post a Comment
