Plane skids off runway, closing parts of Tokyo's NaritaThe accident involving the JAL 787 forced a partial closure of Tokyo's Narita airport. The accident forced the airport to close one of its two runways for an hour from 7 am (2200 GMT Thursday), Narita spokesman Kazuhiko Morio told AFP. The runway was then closed again as the plane was moved out of a safety zone, Morio added. Television footage showed some snow lingering on the ground at the airport although runways and taxiways were clear. Judging by the footage, the plane seemed to have sustained no damage in the accident.
