New cockpit audio reveals the Japan Airlines plane which crashed into a Japanese Coast Guard plane was given clearance to land.

CNN reporter Will Ripley joined Sky News Australia to discuss how the crash occurred.

“There is new cockpit audio indicating that on the Japan airline’s jet, they actually did get clearance from air traffic control to land,” Mr Ripley said.

“So this raises very serious questions about why these two planes were on the same runway at the same time.

“You now have these two aircraft that are essentially piles of twisted metal and burnt debris sitting in the middle of this runway which has now shut down.”
