Just minutes after touching down at Naha airport, on the Japanese island of Okinawa, Taiwan's China Airlines Boeing 737-800 burst into flames.
All 165 people on board survived, with some escaping just seconds before the plane exploded into a huge fireball.
TV images showed flames and smoke billowing from the Boeing 737-800, and the pilot jumping out of the cockpit window as the plane exploded.
Some reports said the left engine of the plane caught fire, but the airline said the cause was not yet known.
"Everything was normal, including take-off and landing, until the pilots were told the airplane was on fire," China Airlines spokesman Johnson Sun said.
"Then the crew on board immediately took the due procedure to evacuate all the passengers."
