(CNN) — Five people were killed when a Japan Airlines plane carrying hundreds of passengers collided with an earthquake relief aircraft and burst into flames on landing at Tokyo’s Haneda airport on Tuesday. While that investigation is ongoing, preliminary reports are the pilots of the Japan Airlines flight did not spot any aircraft on the runway before landing, he said. “I didn’t realize it was such a big incident until I saw images on the news,” she told CNN. “We landed normally, didn’t feel a shock or anything,” Yamake told CNN at Haneda airport after he was evacuated from the crash. The majority of departures from Haneda Airport are now canceled and it’s unclear when flight services will resume, NHK reports.
