This is most likely the fault of the Air Traffic Controller (ATC). Landing planes will always have priority to the runway, so, that Coast Guard plane shouldn't be there. Either there's a mis-communication between the Coast Guard plane's pilot and the ATC, or, the latter must have fucked up in giving the wrong instructions to the pilot of the Coast Guard plane to stay away from the runway. The black box will reveal the truth.
So huge plane only so few passengers?
Can you clarify your statement?
Total how many passengers were there?
You said 6 and 5 out of 6 up lorry means 1 passenger survived but you said only 1 pilot survived? Means the pilot is also the passenger?
Not really. This incident reminds me of the crash of RSN Courageous with an Indo cargo ship near Pedra Branca on 3 Jan 2003 whereby a couple of our Navy women were killed. That was also just after the new year. The navy chief then was Lui Tuck Yew. At about the same time we were also saying goodbye to President Ong Teng Cheong. Singapore survived and is still “prospering” (from influx of Cecas)
I saw a video showing the positions of the aircraft on the runway, not sure legit vid or not. The JSDF plane looked like in the wrong position. I suspect JSDF pilot is not familiar with the airport layout and took a wrong turn. btw, I'm not a pilot and not familiar with airops but froom the video the airport layout is a horrible design with the takeoff runway at an odd reclaimed land with a narrow entrance at the point next to the landing runway
