China Airline Jet Explodes at Japan Airport

A China Airlines Jet burst into flames Monday in Okinawa, Japan. The Boeing 737-800 took off from Taiwan, and the pilot did not report any problems during the flight.

All 165 passenger and crew escaped the plane safely before the explosion.

The jet had only been parked for a minute when the left engine exploded. It is unknown what the cause was, but authorities do not suspect terrorism.

In reaction, many other airlines are checking other similar planes for any problems.
