00:00 In response to a fatal crash at Tokyo's Haneda Airport last month, a labor union representing
00:09 air traffic controllers in Japan has demanded a substantial boost in staffing levels to
00:16 enhance airport safety.
00:18 The statement, released by the chair of the Transport Workers Union Executive Committee,
00:23 stopped short of attributing the crash on January 2 between a Japan Airlines JAL jet
00:30 and a smaller Coast Guard turboprop to staffing issues.
00:34 An ongoing investigation is underway regarding the runway collision at the world's third
00:39 busiest airport.
00:41 Remarkably, all 379 individuals aboard the Airbus A350 passenger jet survived, but tragically
00:50 five out of the six crew members on the smaller Coast Guard aircraft perished.
00:56 Control tower transcripts have been made public revealing that the Coast Guard plane was instructed
01:01 to proceed to a holding area on a taxiway adjacent to the runway as the JAL plane approached
01:08 for landing.
01:09 Uncertainties persist regarding why the aircraft subsequently entered the runway seemingly
01:14 without detection.
01:16 Authorities emphasized the urgent need for a substantial rise in the number of air traffic
01:21 controllers, stressing that conjecture about the crash's cause could place "significant
01:27 mental strain" on controllers.
01:30 In response to the accident, authorities swiftly implemented emergency measures mandating continuous
01:36 monitoring of radar systems by air traffic control travellers at Haneda and other airports
01:43 nationwide to mitigate the risk of runway intrusions.
