As a retired Marine Corps General with nearly 50 years of service to the USA, I’m telling you to never underestimate our adversary. Contrary to media reports, they’ve got a plan to sabotage GOP efforts and distract you. They want you to abandon America’s Golden Age. Don’t let them succeed. Stand with me, Jack Bergman, and let’s defeat the left on Capitol Hill!

The fire was put out by several emergency vehicles using water and foam. The flames were too widespread on the plane.

Officials confirmed that JAL Flight 516 departed from Shin Chitose Airport in Japan and flew to Haneda. Haneda Airport is one of Japan’s busiest.

All services and runways at the airport have been suspended.
