Second Boeing 777 suffers mid-air incident

The incident came three days after an Asiana Airlines 777 crashed in San Francisco after approaching at dangerously low speed, killing two people.

The JAL jetliner, carrying 236 passengers, returned to Tokyo’s Haneda airport after departing three hours and 20 minutes earlier. Maintenance engineers were investigating the cause of the leak, a spokesman for the Japanese flag carrier said.

Two teenage Chinese girls on their way to summer camp in the US were killed and more than 180 people injured in the San Francisco crash, the first fatal accident involving a Boeing 777 since they entered service in 1995.

Hours afterwards, the Asiana Airlines president and chief executive, Yoon Young-doo, said the plane did not appear to be at fault. – guardian.co.uk
