More than 100 flights to and from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport are expected to be canceled on Wednesday following the fiery runway plane collision the day before, according to two Japanese carriers. This includes 9,250 Japan Airlines (JAL) passengers, the carrier told CNN on Wednesday. The cancellations include 54 domestic flights and one international flight for Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) as well as 50 domestic JAL flights, according to both airlines. All 379 people on JAL flight 516, including eight children under the age of two, were safely evacuated from the passenger plane, according to the airline. Video showed a huge fireball erupt as the JAL plane ignited, leaving a fiery trail down the runway.
