A video appears to show the terror of passengers inside a Japan Airlines plane that was engulfed in flames as it landed on a runway at Tokyo's Haneda airport.
The plane, which had taken off from Sapporo on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, collided with an earthquake relief plane on Tuesday.
A video, posted by X user @alto_maple alongside the caption "I thought I was going to die," shows passengers shouting and getting up from their seats while attempting to evacuate the smoke-filled cabin.

Another clip, apparently filmed by the same passenger from the plane window, shows flames bursting from under a wing as the aircraft touches down.
Business Insider has been unable to independently verify the footage.
"I felt a boom like we had hit something and jerked upward the moment we landed," a passenger on the Japan Airlines flight told Kyodo news agency. "I saw sparks outside the window and the cabin filled with gas and smoke."
Separate footage from Japanese TV news networks shows flames rising from the engine of the plane as it landed at Tokyo's Haneda airport, and passengers escaping down inflatable slides and then running away as the fire spread.
Officials said that all 379 crew and passengers on board Japan Airlines Flight 516 were safely evacuated.
The Japan Airlines plane, flying route JL516, was an Airbus 350-900, according to information from the flight-tracking site FlightAware.
Five of the six crew members on the Coast Guard plane, an MA722, have been confirmed dead, NHK, reported. The captain is believed to be seriously injured.
The Coast Guard aircraft had been traveling from Haneda airport to help with relief efforts following a 7.5-magnitude earthquake in Japan on Monday. At least 48 people were killed, and search and rescue teams are still combing through rubble to find survivors.
Videos broadcast on Japanese TV appear to show cracks in roads, subway trains shaking and buildings collapsing.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said there is a 10 to 20% chance more earthquakes of similar magnitude could hit within the next few days.
