Japan ramps up air safety efforts

Japan's transport ministry has introduced urgent safety measures for air traffic control in the wake of a tragic collision at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

On Jan 2, a Japan Airlines, or JAL, passenger plane collided with a Japan Coast Guard, or JCG, aircraft during landing, resulting in the deaths of five individuals on the JCG plane. The pilot survived but sustained severe injuries.

All 379 passengers and crew members aboard the JAL flight escaped without life-threatening injuries before the plane was fully engulfed in flames.
