    The important bits, since it wasn’t clear to me if people were trapped on board:

    The plane, which had taken off from Sapporo, collided with a coast guard plane, NHK said, citing authorities.

    All 379 passengers and crew on board were evacuated, media reports quoted the airline as saying.

      The plane hit a Japan Coast Guard plane on landing. Five of the six crew members of the JCG plane are missing.

      Edit: now the news is saying two are dead, and the captain is in critical condition.
