(...)On Jan 3rd 2024 Japan's Ministry of Transport said, that the DH8C had received instructions to proceed as far as he could (editorial note: presumably to taxi to runway 05 for takeoff from that runway), the coast guard captain by his own testimony however understood this instruction as takeoff clearance, lined up runway 34R instead leading to the collision. The JTSB is investigating the occurrence.
In the evening of Jan 3rd 2024 Japan's Ministry of Transport released a transcript of the ATC communication (see below, the Ministry also released a version that translates the communication to Japanese) that states, that JL516 was cleared to land on runway 34R, winds 310 at 8. About 10 seconds later and about 2:16 minutes prior to collision the DH8C reported on tower and was cleared to taxi to holding point C5 (Runway 34R), which was correctly read back by the crew. There is no record of any further clearance to the DH8C (other than the captain of the DH8C stated that he had takeoff clearance).
On Jan 3rd 2024 the JTSB reported one of the black boxes of the DH8C have already been recovered, the blackboxes of the A359 are yet to be recovered.
On Jan 3rd 2024 Tokyo's Metropolitan Police reported they too have opened an investigation for professional negligence into the accident.
On Jan 3rd 2024 the airline reported the aircraft skidded for about 1000 meters after the collision. The last person got off the A359 at 18:05L, 18 minutes after the collision.(...)
