From ABC 43_minutes ago: "The warning lights that tell pilots whether a runway is clear were not working at the Haneda Airport the night a Japan Airlines plane caught fire after colliding with a coast guard aircraft, according to official aviation data.
A NOTAM message, a notice containing information essential to pilots and other personnel concerned with flight operations, issued on Dec. 27 alerted pilots that the light system was down for the foreseeable future.
It is unclear whether the the lack of warning lights on the runway played a role in how the incident unfolded. The investigation is ongoing."
