Japan is having a rough start to 2024. First an earthquake and tsunami, now an A350 plane crashes and burns at the Tokyo airport. Looking at earlier footage of that thing.... it's an inferno. People were on that plane.

Damn.

ETA: evidently the plane collided with a coast guard plane on the runway. All 379 passengers and crew were evacuated but all five crew members of the CG plane died.

In other news, a retired Australian female road cyclist was hit by a car driven by her husband who just retired himself. She died in the hospital. He was arrested for reckless driving and two other charges and released on bail. They have two young children. 

Yeah, 2024 isn't going well for some so far.
