YouTube - China Airlines plane bursts into flame at Okinawa airport
Tokyo/Taipei - A China Airlines plane became engulfed in flames Monday after one of its engine exploded upon landing on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa, injuring two people, local media reported.
The left engine of Flight 120 belonging to the Taiwan airline caught fire around 10:30 am (0130 GMT) at Naha airport, but all its 157 passengers, including two infants, were able to evacuate the plane on emergency chutes. No passengers were injured.
One of the plane's eight crew members was hurt, however, as was a member of the ground crew.
One passenger was also taken to hospital after becoming ill following the evacuation from the Boeing 737-800, which left Taipei at 9:23 am.
The jet was taxiing on the tarmac when ground personnel alerted the pilot that the engine had caught fire, Taiwan authorities said. The plane's occupants were evacuated before the left engine exploded minutes after the plane was parked, a Japanese transport ministry official added.
Fire and black smoke engulfed the plane, which broke into three parts, before the blaze was extinguished an hour later.
Taiwan's ERA cable TV channel quoted some passengers as saying they heard an explosion in the engine before the fire.
The passengers were mostly Taiwan tourists but included 18 Japanese travellers. Two pilots and six flight attendants, one of whom is Japanese, was also on board.
