165 people had only 3 mins to flee from a China Airline aircraft that burst into flames shortly after landing at an island on Southern Japan at Okinwa on 20th August 2007.Everybody escaped unhurt except for 4 that suffered minor injuries & discomfort.Eye-witnesses said that they saw white smokes.Soon,they saw black smokes covering the windows.It was said that pandemonium broke out.Everybody trying to get out of the plane, was pushing & shoving, some banging to those who fell.
Boeing 737-800 aircraft from Taipei was going towards the disembarkation gate at Naha's airport when the crew realised that it was on FIRE! Officials alerted the pilots after they noticed the situation.The pilots of the aircraft said that there it was a fuel leak that caused the fire.
The pilots did not report any problem before or during the flight.But some Taiwanese Media reporters gave a different account.
