An Orient Thai charter aircraft came within 200 metres of striking the Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, Japan in September according the Japanese Transport Ministry.
The aircraft was carrying no passengers at the time as it was flying to Tokyo to operate a flight to Phuket in Thailand. The Boeing 747-200 aircraft reportedly nearly hit the Tokyo Tower just after midnight on 19 September 2004 as it was coming in to land at Haneda airport.
A spokesperson for Orient Thai Airlines said that the captain of the aircraft had failed to explain to his crew the content of a manual on landing at Haneda airport and has now been suspended, reports Reuters.
