Airplane Crash: Japan Airlines

 Japan Airlines and Delta Collision at Seattle-Tacoma: FAA to Investigate

A Japan Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner collided with the tail of a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737-800 while taxiing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on February 5, 2025. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the incident, which led to temporary flight pauses at SEA as investigations began (FAA, 2025).

The accident occurred at 10:40 a.m. local time (1840 GMT). Delta’s aircraft, bound for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, had 142 passengers onboard and was waiting for deicing when the Japan Airlines jet struck its tail (Delta Air Lines, 2025). The Japan Airlines plane had just landed from Tokyo.

Immediate Response and Investigation

No injuries were reported. Delta transferred passengers to another aircraft (Delta Airlines, 2025). The FAA has launched a formal investigation, with Delta confirming full cooperation (FAA, 2025).

Operational Disruptions at SEA

The FAA temporarily paused some flights at SEA, causing minor disruptions (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 2025). Operations resumed quickly.

Japan Airlines’ Recent Cybersecurity Issues

Days earlier, Japan Airlines experienced a cyberattack that disrupted its flight operations. The airline confirmed system restoration on Thursday (Japan Airlines, 2025).

Aviation Safety Considerations

The FAA will examine factors such as:

  • Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructions.
  • Communication between pilots and ground control.
  • Taxiway congestion and weather conditions.
  • Potential technical issues affecting maneuverability.

Implications for Travelers and Airlines

The incident highlights the need for strict taxiing and deicing protocols. Airlines will review procedures to prevent future occurrences (Aviation Safety Board, 2025).

PLEASE ADVICE ME

Hello, Good afternoon to you. Trust you are fine. I'm sounding formal, right? Lol, don't mind me. Something happened in my office today. I've been out of mobile data for some days. A senior colleague here in the office volunteered to get lunch for us on his pocket. My Best Friend suggested that I declared that I was going monetize mine, but I was shy! By the time the Office Assistant returned with the meal and balance for everyone, it is the exact amount I need to buy my data. Now I'm thinking if anyone would buy the meal from me. It pays to listen and obey when the Holy Spirit talks mehn! Sighs. I wish I obeyed my Best Friend, He is the Holy Ghost. You know, there is this friend of mine, I'll call him Dez. I met Dez last year March. We started on a good note and became really close as a result. Honestly, from the start of the friendship, Dez made his intentions known to me. He pointed out that he wants a relationship that will lead to marriage. Of cou...

MOUTH ACCIDENT.

Hello everyone, trust you had a great night. I thank God for keeping us all through the night, He is worthy to be praised. Clears throat! So I went for a carol service in my mum's church yesterday, and trust me, I had a good time(lol). I felt at the time I joined the service that God planned it for me as a gift specially from Him to me,don't be jealous; ask for yours too. Earlier yesterday, my mum had sent me two songs to listen to and know word for word(musically, we call that scoring a song). Honestly guys, I didn't score the songs as I was supposed to. Reason was I had my hands full at my desk, what I did was just to listen to one of the songs so as to be able to sing along. I wasn't self aware that my mum was serious when she told me that I'd be a guest in her own church, and would be leading the two songs(oops!). Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours and finally, the awaited time came. We got to the Church about 30 minutes into the programme a...

Why I Stopped Writing For So Long!

Many a times, I want to express myself via writing. By God’s grace, I know I’m an articulate writer. I express myself better when writing than speaking. However, as soon as I set my mind to write, the enthusiasm drops and I’m wondering why I wanted to write. Some other times, I’m also thinking that what I want to write might be private.  You see, I’m privileged to have certain private and dynamic relationships with different kind of people. As such, I’m being careful of writing what will make these people think I’m writing about them. At the same time, I love being private - I also wouldn’t want to write and the smart Peeps in my corner add one plus one to make eleven. Lol.  Many reasons, right? Is it just me? Am I thinking too much? Am I caring too much? Am I too concerned? Am I am I? 🙈 Let’s go into what we have for us today. You see, sometime in the year 2021, my phone was stolen. That was like the third phone that got missing within the space of three years. Unfortunately...
