# Haneda Airport Plane Collision Investigation Initiated: The Captain of the Maritime Protection Agency misunderstood the controller's instructions

## Introduction

Today, we would like to bring you a piece of news that has attracted much attention - the latest development of the plane collision accident at Haneda Airport. According to the latest information, the Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the accident and has revealed some shocking details.

## Accident background

On the evening of January 3, 2024, there was a jaw-dropping plane collision at Haneda Airport. According to preliminary information, the accident involved two passenger planes, causing serious casualties and huge property damage. However, the most confusing thing is that the accident was caused by the captain of the Coast Guard misinterpreting the controller's instructions.

## What happened

According to the information revealed by investigators, it was during the night rush hour, and the two passenger planes were preparing to take off at the same time. However, due to a malfunctioning radar system, controllers were unable to directly monitor the aircraft's position. Therefore, they communicated with the captain by radio, informing them of the order and interval of their takeoffs.

However, for some reason, the captain of the Coast Guard misunderstood the controller's instructions and mistakenly believed that his plane had been cleared to take off. So, they quickly pushed the plane to accelerate and take off.

At the same time, another airliner was preparing for takeoff. But due to a malfunction in the radar system, the controller was not aware of this. As a result, when two airliners collided on the runway, countless people witnessed this terrible disaster.

## Misunderstanding by the captain of the Coast Guard

Investigators also revealed that the captain of the Coast Guard misunderstood the controller's instructions mainly because of poor communication quality, which led to a deviation in the transmission of information. This is incredibly negligent, considering the rigorous training and professionalism they have received in their careers as pilots.

It is understood that the controller used concise and concise language when directing the sequence and interval of take-offs, probably due to time constraints. However, due to the poor quality of communication, these instructions were not accurately understood by the captain, leading to a tragedy.

## Victims & Rescue

The accident caused many casualties among innocent passengers and crew members. Emergency teams immediately rushed into the rescue operation, doing everything they could to rescue the survivors and dispose of the bodies of the victims.

Haneda Airport also immediately canceled follow-up flights and fully cooperated with the investigation. At the same time, other airports have taken a series of measures to ensure that similar accidents do not happen again.

## Investigation initiation and accountability

In the face of this tragedy, the Coast Guard immediately launched an investigation into the accident. They will carefully study the evidence at the scene of the accident to determine the cause of the accident and who is responsible.

During this process, the Coast Guard will conduct detailed interviews and investigations with pilots, controllers, and other relevant personnel in order to fully understand the circumstances and causes of the accident. They hope that the investigation will identify responsibility and ensure that similar accidents do not happen again.

## Summary and outlook

The occurrence of this plane collision at Haneda Airport is shocking and sad. We deeply sympathize with the loss or injury of innocent passengers and crew and wish them rest in peace. It is hoped that through the investigation by the Japan Coast Guard, the truth and responsibility for the accident can be ascertained, and measures will be taken to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

We believe that justice and comfort can only be brought to victims and their families through thorough investigation and accountability. Let's look forward to making even greater progress in the field of aviation safety in the future to ensure that every flight is safe and reliable.
